I recently returned to DAoC after being dormant for what seems near two years now. Returning to the game I had high hopes of picking up where I left off, but anyone familiar with MMORPGS knows that's easier said then done. Things change, mobs are added, items removed, lands evolve, but one thing that never ceases to amaze me.. The stupidity of people who play the game. Aye, that is a blunt statement, but never the less it needs to be said.
<<(My main idea)>>
Guilds:
As I said before I had high hopes of returning to the familiar;One of those familiars being the guild I left behind so long ago. However to my suprise, the guild no longer exists, and in place of it literally hundreds have spawned. By the Camelot Herald www.camelotherald.com there are at this moment 373 Guilds on Midgard Guinivere.. Now exclude the top 27-30% who have a minimum of about 10 members.. Cut that back a few more, and there are about 13% of the guilds on our server that have more than 30 members. To beat it all people STILL INSIST on creating more and more player guilds! What I want to know, is with 373 guilds.. the overall population cant possibly fill the guilds with a decent amount of players.. So are you so vain to actually pay to have a name under your own with absolutely no intention of creating a player organized guild with common goals and objectives?!
The madness needs to stop..
If it were possible.. invision the strength of the guilds if you were to combine them. Imagine what you would get if Concordium Imago Odinis and the 8th Tribe joined together <faints>
You would have an extremely powerful, extremely versatile group of individuals, am I right..
So, not to be one who trys to change the world of Midgard, but rather than create more senseless guilds with little or no reason.. why not call upon your fellow guild leaders, and band together to create something larger.. something more flavorful, something with an actual purpose.. not just a name.
It's simple.. think about it
Thanks for your time, and I hope this sparks your imaginations..
