They must have bank and guild services (mages, fighters, undaunted, thieves, etc.). Perhaps a guild trader. And Storage... MOAR STOARAGE!

Soooo I am not too familiar with this. Is this just a designated building for guild members? What purpose would it serve? @ereboz Do you just mean that someone in your guild has a Notable Home that people in the guild gather at? Just curious on how these things work.

I've always liked games with guild halls and hoped for this to be included some day in ESO. Only minor concern with a guild hall would be. What happens to it and everything in it, if the guild disbands?

I'm going to have to say no. I think Player Housing suffices right now for the need to have a space that guild members can congregate.

Having played MMO's for years, there's always a trend when it comes to Guild Halls:

~Players demand them.
~Devs implement them with features that make them the "one stop shop"
~Players then fully congregate nowhere but their halls.
~Cities end up drying up in terms of population, making the game feel less populated.
~If there's a feature that's missing from the hall that is found in a city, players demand that it goes in their hall.

... and then the above repeats itself over... and over... and over again until the exterior areas of the game are essentially ghost towns.

Which really isn't healthy for the game. The cities are the lifeblood of the game's feel. They are the places that instill a sense of population. If they are deserted, then it doesn't convey the right message for the health of the game at all.

I'd concede only if it were recognized that if guild halls were to be implemented, they'd need to be careful not to eliminate the need for cities. It is always a tragedy to go back to older MMO's that still have great communities, but feel empty because unless you're in a guild hall... you're not associating with anybody.

Yeah usually the guild leader. In the case of the guild hall with all the crafting stations, it's actually the manor of the former guild leader who stepped down but he already had all the stuff at his place. But yes, it's just his primary residence that anyone in the guild can travel to and use the services. Shaves tons of time off traveling the world for different gear sets

Typically a minimum membership level achievement is required to open and maintain, along with a in game gold purchase or rental. Guild Hall is owned by the Guild, they are not a personal property. They allow a greater number of Guild members to gather in them than housing allows. They may or may not have unique features which are also bought with in game purchase of gold and Guild Achievement.

Those are some basic points you find in Guild Halls from other games.

I think the existing housing could offer features to accommodate some of this. In my mind any home at 5,000 crown or above should or would have updated features. I’d hope all would but I k ow some people would only co sided the large homes as guild halls.

One of the guilds I'm in (Psijic Supreme Order, represent!) already has a hall, and it's fabulous. Attunable crafting stations for EVERY set in the game, all the mundus stones, training dummies, banker, merchant, fence, duelling areas, the works. I might have cried a little when I first beheld its glory. No more wayshrining about when I need to craft multiple gear sets!

Only if they let me use my existing house.

Only thing that would *** me off would be if they shoehorned us into buying new houses. I'm not paying 15,000 crowns again, ZOS.

I voted yes, but after thinking it thru and knowing how it could have a negative effect on the population we see in cities... I would go back and change my vote to know.

It's already likely that most good guilds will have an officer who maintains a common area for meetings, crafting, etc. To a lesser extent, Discord and Teamspeak fill a significant function of the "guild hall". I see no need for formal change at this time.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the suggestion and all the additions or tweaks on it! The idea of a guild hall or really any sort of shared customizable space sounds really fun! While we can't promise the guild hall idea will be used, we're always really glad to read your suggestions and feedback and hope to read more.

Yeah, I want guild halls. And more guild systems. Guilds are a HUGE part of what makes MMOs fun. They've been neglected for a while and there's so much that can be done to improve them.

But I want to stress again that guild halls need to let us use existing houses that we've already purchased.

Nay to guild halls. We had them in EQ2 and the game died a slow death. No one frequented the cities anymore as everyone was holed up in their guild halls. It made the game seem empty and dead especially for those that aren't guild members but still enjoy the hustle and bustle of populated cities.

One of the things that makes this game so attractive is the people being so visible. New people join and they don't look around and go this game is dead, there is no one around to ask for advice or new people to meet because everyone is hanging with their cliques.
