Default Guild Hall Expansion Pack

It was suggested to me to post this here (this has been expanded since).

A Guild Hall Expansion Pack - Could be available to purchase from GW online shop or in-game with GW Gold.

Guild Banners, Flags, Colours, Standards (like the French and Roman Eagles) with possibly a Colour Party
Guild/Alliance Bunting - For Guild/Alliance only Events
Bar/Mess Hall - for some hard earned RnR, with a stage for dancing and all the ales/wine for sale (possible from own brewery/vineyard)
Training Area - Targets, Jousts, etc (like in the Battle Isles)
Post Office (for leaving personal messages for members)
Guild Bank (personal account or for loans) (After all the Knights Templar did a similar thing in real life).
Guild Barber/Hairdresser
Guild Armourer/Tailor (could offer a range of customised items)
Guild Skills Changer - (Tyrian & Canthan skills)
Guild Anthem (choice of music)
Guild Estate Agent - Members houses (1 house per account/member)
Guild Village - (always looks empty, at least there would be some movement around the islands)
Guild Shop - For Guild souvenirs or presents/gifts
Guild Vineyard like in Prophecies pre-searing (maybe even label own Guild wine)
Guild Trophy Room (could display heads of dead bosses)
Guild Historian NPC - (could be updated by Guild Leader or other specified Officer)
Guild Hall of Fame - Self explanatory
Guild Patrols - (always looks empty, at least there would be some movement around the islands)

Additional wildlife - Rabbits, Birds, some fish around the island, etc

Customisable Guild NPC name changes.

Alliance Ambassadors - An Ambassador NPC from each Guild in the Alliance

A Guild Member Initiation Quest - To prove the worthiness of the Initiate.

Also guild member specific items, ie Officers Gorgets or sashes - maybe a Guild/Alliance Honour system (Medal, rank, title, baton) for Guild/Alliance PvP Champion, or for PVE Guild Veterans/old warhorses, etc.

Maybe a membership to an exclusive/elite club/guildhall/Association for players/professions that have achieved certain things, ie, Killed Glint or Maw by soloing, or something like a Rangers of Tyria Association etc (open to other suggestions).

I also think that there needs to be a way of changing the 'ownership' of the Guild to a group (Officers) instead of an individual. If this was done, then maybe, say 2% of all Guild traders sales can go to the Guild's Bank.

I think this would help some of the guilds in recruiting & retaining members - after all this is GUILD WARS.

Very good idea....I love all the guild-hall upgrades...

one problem... who get it and who buy it?
Can you only enjoy those if buy the pack, or does only one person in the guild need to buy the pack, and rest of guild member get it?

problems problems problems

I love most of the ideas, although I'd like it to be GW currency. Waste of money otherwise to just trick out your guild hall. I'm totally loving the innitiation quest for newbies LOL, AKA. Hazing lol.

Honestly though, when I was an officer in my guild it was like i never really had gotten much of a benefit or recognition of being one. I think the sash that could announce that your an officer is a great idea. same color as the background color of your cape. The king ofcourse should have like a gold sash or something to get the respect.

yeah w/ the guild guards idea expanded. Pay like 2k for each peasant just wandering around your hall( max 20) so a few would be walking around from your base to the otherbase (traveling merchant type...) and others would just walk around the little town or something just hanging w/ eachother.

Thanks for the replies.

How it is bought, is irrelavent, whether its GW Gold or 'real money'. I am only posting some ideas. How it is 'bought' would be for Arenanet to decide ............ This and other forums seem to be obsessed with money, real or otherwise.

Who within the Guild buys it ................. well if a Guild itself could become the owners of the Guild and not its single Leader then the Guild buys it ...... simple. Afterall, a Guild should NOT be run by a Dictatorship ....... for the masses, by the masses.

as far as im concerned your a cheapp bum who wont support the game.. may be you should stop playing guild wars altogether.

Guild wars is a freakin FREE TO PLAY game! why wont you support anet and chalk over some money so they can put it in to beter content? $50 for say 2-3 years doesnt help manage the servers you know

I gladly buy in game items from real money! why? because it helps the game!

I still don't get it...
So if I did not buy the expansion pack, but than I join a guild who did bought it... so I get the expansion pack for free? Or will I than be bar from joining that guild? Does that mean all guild member have to buy the pack to stay together? Or will those who have the pack see those NPCs and Patrols in the guild hall, while the other who does not buy it see empty air?

Sounds more like an improvement which could and should be available in an upcoming chapter. Improving upon the Guild Hall and Guild Functions is a natural part of improving the game in general, and improvements should be made per chapter, not in several small facets of add-ons.

The Guild Hall, the NPCs in it, and more should all be earnable though the game, available with certain or all chapters.

QFT, Just wanted to make it clear, but you can't get this idea to pass unless it works similar to how Factions got the new Trade upgrade. So new features for Guild Halls should only be available with the purchase of particular chapters, or you just luck out.

I am sure that Arenanet has some codes in its servers that show which Guild you are in ............... so if that said Guild has the expansion pack, then every member of that Guild gets to share in its expansion pack ............ simple.

..... and sorry, I do not agree with the principle of that anything Guildwise should be added as per item, per chapter. Guilds should be exclusive and different, or whats the point?

no its not the UPGRADES dont have to have beter armor. as far as im concerned it can have char. specific armor. i.e one who is in kcenter would have max armor when he goes to the armor npc and a char in shin je would have noob armor when he talks to armor npc.
anet promiced us fair gameplay w/o actualy spending real money. and THIS IS FAIR you dont have to have the guild hall upgrade, you are perfectly fine w/o it i would gladly pay like $2 for a ssaki sword or any other wep. as long as anet doesnt go all maplestory on us and sell all the uber items for real money im am perfectly fine w/ them charging money

I'm all for more options at the guild hall, but I don't want to pay cash for it. That's not why I bought GW; I bought GW because it promised not to require me to pay for things as it improved.

I'm skeptical after the stunt with storage. I don't want to have to pay cash for anything in game, even if it is just "for fun".

For real people....

Please tell me that a real set of customizations are coming soon for guild halls. Threads like this on that are full of fantastic ideas are limited on reality. I would REALLY like to know if and when the updates become available. I have searched Guild Wars site and found no references to this or any guild hall updates. Please tell me that this is a confirmed fact of pending updates and not a tease.

Thank you

Awesome concept, though a few details seem to need to be tweaked. Thats expected though. I'd love to have a guild hall that was more 'alive' or at the very least more conducive to be a gathering place, rather than just a place to launch battles.
Question: Would the taverns be outside the Guild Hall? If each Guild hall had a tavern it would be a great way to recruit. Even if it was one tavern per town, and each Guild could simply supply a drink(put restrictions to keep numbers down, maybe require the ingredients be farmed and donated) it would be a great way to keep the guild supplied with money. That way new people aren't dependent on the Guild leader or Officers pockets.
Also love the bank idea, would be great to be able to store more money...

All that stuff should be included as game upgrades in expansions... not as buyable content.

I think all of it would be very cool though. Customizing a guild hall is quite fun.

So you're saying EVERY guild should have all this? I don't think so, you should have to have a certain amount of out of game money to give. I agree with the store idea, if they charge ingame gold, we'll lose our ingame gold, they'll gain nothing at all out of it.
