bases?

[Carnak]

I would love to see something like this and with their server tech - which allows them to dynamically change elements of the gameworld, eg. the arkfalls (or rifts in Rift) - they could do a lot more with this sort of thing than most MMOs.

Obviously allowing players to just build anywhere wouldn't work but if there were specific regions where players could build then it could really boost the game's longevity and player retention.

Now here's an idea. In a town or city have a designated building for guilds. Determining on your guild it will load you in that guild hall, say I'm in "I love Bears" guild and Joes in "Ew Bears" we both go walking down the street holding hands and approach the building. I click on the door to load the building and enter, so does Joe. What happens? I'm sent to my guild hall he's sent to his. Does it make sense?

Sound like you've described instancing?

No lol but many MMOs do something like that were its basicaly a building were whatever guild your in it sends you there its a good idea saves space and is a good place for people who are looking for guilds to go find one

Since the world is always changing the way bases are set up kind of reminds me of Guild Wars way of doing things. Take a base /cheer go to sleep and get back into the game and the base might be under attack. Or it might be several days to weeks before something happens to the base. Whether or not the game is actually 24/7 real time /shrug. Hopefully bases are not attacked like every 5-10 mins cause then it gets kinda boring.

this would certainly be a great idea however many problems could uprise such as farmers , griefers etc etc lets say you spawn in and later down the road you find your self getting spawn trapped by players , however to counter this you could have safe zones and open PvP zones in the MMO map , so you start in a safe spawning area and you can drive anywhere you like however there will be little PvP areas or even a PvP area that stretches across half the map protected by a huge brick wall or something like that

i like this idea and most of us wish we could base build in most games like this it would sorta be like arma2

This would only work if there could be no shadow war around it. It would break the random/blance that will be the shadow war. If everyone that poped up only pop b/c there was a guild base there then... A no one would go there b/c they don't have the numbers to fight a guild. B only other guilds would go then it turns in to TM VS SS think wow people. Good and bad but would get old fast.

Shadow Wars pop up when there is a group of people close to each other, this can happen anytime anywere, if we know the time and place it would take the fun out of it. However I like the idea of a guild space so you can show off your number and kicks. Is a big game, just pick some cords and plant your flag or somthing like that.

I can see designated guild bases inside a safe zone (watching to much SAO) but its a practical idea if there are any designated safe zones in the first place.

Well i say if they go all the way to make a show with the game im sure there will be some politics is involved what if Guilds/clans could submit building permits stating coordinates where the group would like to make there base. and when approved they could put a base template of a selected choosing or something but that would be cool i like the ideas of random bases in places and there might be a ark fall even right next to it. creating mass chaos.
