Guilds Technical Info

Misc Info

• Guilds can serve to further the TMW economy by creating a unified trade system for rare or bulk items.
• Guilds can sponsor events such as PVP winner payouts.
• Guilds fill a spot for competition for rare items.
• Guilds could be hired for protection.

Classes

I propose to only have a guild and guildmanager class. Each player has a guild, and the server stores all the created guilds in the guildmanager.

-- adjustment [floatswitch, 2010-02-13], propose to have guildcommander, guildlieutenant, and guildmember classes. guild information/membership should be tied to a special new object in the system. players should not be required to be in a guild.

Guild

This will contain (at least):

• Name of the guild
• Guild id
• Guild alias (4 letter abbreviation)
• Guild Leader
• Guild Lieutenants (min 4, max 10)
• Guild members
• Guild Bank
• Guild storage

Guild Storage

• trade/buy/sell items
• all classes can exact trade from guild storage
• guild player must issue trade/buy/sell command which brings open trade window to other person trading
  • possibly right click menu item for guild trade when clicked on participating person
• similarly to 4144 client's outfits window, have a button in the inventory window that opens guild inventory for trading/sell/list
• each item in storage gets guild defined value for sale, default value is TMW value if not defined

Guild Commander

This will be used for:

• required minimum player level (75?)
• adding and removing guilds
• adding invited users into a guild
• inviting users into a guild
• no limit on daily withdraw from bank
• can deposit into bank
• commander can add/remove any item at will for free from guild storage

Guild Lieutenants

• required minimum player level (55?)
• votes in the commander
• max bank withdraw limit 250K/day (defined by guild commander, changeable)
• can deposit into bank
• lieutenant must buy to remove item for personal retrieval from storage, gets significant discount (max trades per day)
• lieutenant can sell item to add to guild storage from personal inventory, gets increased value on sale

Guild Members

• can deposit into bank
• max bank withdraw limit 50k/day (defined by guild commander, changeable)
• member must buy item for personal retrieval from guild storage, gets slight discount
• member can sell item to add to guild storage, gets slightly increased value on sale

How joining a guild works

When a user creates a guild, he has the option to invite a user (possibly by right clicking user and selecting invite into guild). Only the guild leader can invite users into the guild. If the user accepts the invitation, the user becomes a member of the guild. There must be an outstanding invitation before a user can accept or else a hacked client could join a guild without being invited.
