lol, yea they would not do that.../wink, /wink;)

unfortunately you are most likely closer to what will happen than you may think.

I beat you, my interest is gone. Smaller guilds just lost. ill save the few credits we were able to pull together and put it towards a guild stronghold. I am very disappointed, had hoped it would be fair across the board, small guilds wont stand a chance when the super guilds hit. It will be the same 10 guilds in the top ten ALL THE TIME. Oh and for those who say "gee that is a defeatist attitude", or "your guild sux" etc, just keep it to your self dont need your elitist attitude or you running your mouth, you wanted the price so high that only the "BEST" guilds can compete. well enjoy your ever shrinking small pod. When will Bioware invest in a guild recruitment system? so smaller guilds can start to grow and not be shut out? I guess never

Seems like it some days. but there is still a few left in the guild that log on

nice, why didnt i see this before i have been doing this all wrong, now all i have to do is quit my job, sell my house, divorce my wife and kids, move in to mom's basement and i can have a guild flagship in no time. after all mom serves the best Totino's pizza rolls while i try and log on with her 56K dial up connection. seriously now, i dont have the time for that, i may get one or two flashpoints or one or two dailies. .

For 50 million, we love you long time sailor boy!!!

Come Join ours on The Shadowlands! Ex SWG guild that has been together since 2003.

Hey RICHIE RICH come join our guild and buy us a Flagship. No...??? why not ?

2 things, IF 3 years ago had Bioware given a price tag when we HAD members that could add money that would be OK, we could have managed it. without a number to shoot at, the guild was not going to just "Trust" us with their money for how long now.......? Now that we ARE a small guild (even though our roster says different) it falls to the few of us that do log on semi-regularly , and that will take months and months. so enjoy your guild, and enjoy your flagship. but DONT rub our noses in it if we dont have a huge guild to throw credits to something.

IF we have 6-8 people left active in our 100 member guild i would be surprised greatly. I had 2 days off this week which is very rare for me, so i thought i would spend some time with the guild and level a new toon. both days off i saw 3 different people over 2 days. People are getting bored with the game and not logging on, yes this new update will bring some back. but for how long when they see we have to come up with this huge (for us anyway) price to come up with, they will drop off once again due to lack of interest and lack of return on their investment. for those who say it is your problem for having a guild like that, well we all have lives outside of the game and can not commit hours and hours. We have NO Guild recruitment system in the game now, some players resort to trolling chat to beg for new members.

I could go with 25 million, but 50 million is way out of line with what MOST guilds can afford. our guild could raise that much in a few weeks / months, but 50 million, wow. i think most members would loose interest when they see NO return on their investment and find something else to do. Thanks Bioware for killing off whats left of my guild.

I HOPE that in 2.9 BW / EA will give us more control with our guilds. I would really like to see on each fleet and starter worlds a NPC or terminal that lets guild leader write a "good" sized description of the guild, one full page would be nice. That way players could search it and see the current size of the guild, active members, see what the guild requires and then apply by answering a few questions pre set by the guild leader. once they complete it an in game email would be sent to the guild leader and officers. when the guild leader or officer reads the applicants email they could accept / reject them right then with one click and they would not even have to be on line. Guild emails sent by guild leader and officers, would be a nice add also. A guild calendar on the character selection screen. If not in a guild maybe let them search for one there also.

Look make it simple, when you add a chat channel tab, give the OPTION to create one for fleet, planet, stronghold, what ever you want, or as many chat tabs as you like. just add the check box for ALL of the channels when you edit the chat tab and you choose which ones you want. JUST ASK EA / BW to add ALL of the chat channels to he edit part of creating a chat channel tab, that way you can choose your options.

IF it is based this way i know a few members who i have known a long time that if they dont log in will be gone very soon. Ill send them an email explaining the situation, ask them to come back to the guild when they finally log in, and then boot them. We can get lean and mean to make it easier to get our guild ship.

It would be nice to know the cost and the requirements to get the guild ship so we have the maximum time to get resources / funds saved up. we are a poor guild, not many adding to the bank so if it is a huge number we may never get it.

I HOPE it has not changed i have been dying to get any info knowing i would get it the last week of June. We need to know about strongholds and Guild ships so we can try and start preparing. Im wanting news on Guild ships the most because we know the subs are getting the strongholds and we dont have to do anything except log on and claim them, but i need info on HOW and what requirements are needed to get the Guild Ships for the guild. COME ON ALREADY SPILL IT please

Kind of like REAL life.

Yeah im holding them till i find out whats available to buy for my new "LOVE" pad... lol, ill have one only second to Billy D's. Can only imagine what Lando's would have looked like lol;)

That "Other" (SWG) Star Wars game had what were called wardens and they did a good job, same restrictions as you laid out. They had to remain secret and could not revel that they had that access or they would be flooded with requests and never got to play the game. Im sure you would have a large number of volunteers coming forth if they added a program like that here. They could ban a player from typing in chat until a gm could review what went on and either keep the ban, or un-ban them, or un-ban and take action against the warden for mis-use of power. Would not be a bad thing if added, it would lighten the load on the gms and customer service reps. there really is no downside to EA / BW , --> free labor <-- is Still FREE.

Welcome! Gratz! Ok, now that that is out of the way... Spill it! Give us all the details on the upcoming guild ships and strongholds....er, ah, pretty please;) /BIGgrin

Yes im also wondering about it, do you have to continuously keep up a certain level to keep your buffs or do you loose them when you stop controlling a planet ?

THANK YOU!!! im with ya, they look nice but lets get some substance, like how you place items, where you store items you have not placed yet? Can you move them once placed? Recolor items? crafted items?how it is done.

ill take any info at this point, but im sure ill ask for more info.

Just release the info they are sure of and the stuff they are still deciding on release it with a disclaimer.... "not set in stone yet, or subject to change...". im tired of the whiny players who cant understand the devs work hard to make this a great game but there is time constraints and a budget they have to stay within, but yet they beat the heck out of the devs. release the info if it changes give the disclaimer and move on. Unfortunately there are a small minority that will get bent out of shape and raise Cain if it is "not as promised".
