Guildhall? Among other possible updates ***SPOILERS****

[MacIronhawk]

I guess you could say the phase files hold the "make up" of the game. There's models, textures, animations for models, and audio in the phase files. You'll find all the interesting things in the test phase files, though.

I hope they do something good with the party hats, though. Toontown has parties and if POTCO does... we'll, there better be rum involved!

Love the idea of guild halls, additional buildings, etc.

However when it comes down to it, whats in the phase files and determining its application is alot of conjecture. Noone knows what the specific use is, or even if it will be used. Weve seen things in there before that never surfaced in the game.

Then this thing about "VIP" "Guild Halls" whos going to get one, etc. This is all an the EXTREME side of conjecture, we have absolutely no idea. For all we know they would be available to everyone. And there is not any one guild more important than another. I dont care what guild your in, your guild is NOT more important than any other guild. Doesnt matter when it was created, how many members it has, how active it is, where they stand on any stupid leaderboards. Pirates are pirates... plain and simple.

If anything it will hopefully come down to what you can 'afford' (ie in game economy, not more real money).

I agree Zep. If they will be used in the way I think they will be, it'll be for those who can afford. I think they could use this, and the vip room on shipwreck island.

To hijack my own thread, here is how I see it.

Shipwreck Island. TP Quest when you hit level 5. Simple go see Jack and you get it. It is an island for pirates, no.
On the island. Usual items for a major island, taverns, shops, shipwright.
But, option for guild areas. Would be a small area with shops and stuff, but there would be a guild tavern with the VIP room. It would be at the gm, or high officer's discretion on how it would be used at that point, party room, meeting hall, or off limits in general.
Then, across the way, a hall stands, similar to the one on porc and avaricia (the giant tower they are drunk on). Inside, there is a guild hall. This, must be opened by an officer, as it is a hall, and can only be used for certain events.

Total Cost: 65K, but the gm has to buy it. Figure, since most of us with a big guild have a ton of gold laying around.

Commodore, I don't think it is necessary to bankrupt the GM. That price would only be practical if the gold limit was increased. How about 50k?

[The Commodore]

James, a war frigate costs 60K. This is a pretty big thing. I think it should cost more, cause this place is something that would be pretty cool.

They would hopefully raise the limit and/or offer a means of guild members contributing to a guild bank so to speak.

IF that's what D is heading towards, sounds cool to me. What else do we have to spend the gold on?

[The Skirata Clan]

maybe we can store our extra cash there too.

[Eliza Creststeel]

If they did truly make a guild house, where the structure would be specific for each guild - then I could see customization and even a place to have a roster or Hall of Fame would be excellent additions. Those elements are already there (via XD) and like the XD snapshot of your pirate - the VIP's could have their picture on the wall.

Would go a looooong way to help group cohesion and socializing, which is one of POTCO's strong suits.

[The Commodore]

Good ideas Eliza. This is something I'd like to see added. So, anything else y'all would like to see, or anything people have they'd like to post?

[Jamesvsthekraken]

this is cool. I wish they would hurry up and update already though

Well I'm buying me a Customized Royal Frigate, with 16 Outfits, and the latest Level 8 Weapons...

Oh wait - thats just my dream hehe

[The Commodore]

Stop making me drool max.
Agreed sarah, if yer a gm, or top officer, more often, yer close to mastery of the game. More often then not, the only time I use my gold is to repair my ships. I'd pay to get a guildhall.

[Chris]

Yea or even better I want my own Island > where I can set sail my custom built War Frigate!

[Maximvs]

Excuse me, but does anyone know how I can use this feature?

Well, its not a "feature" to use in the game As Jack explains - you go get Panda3D then use that program to look at the files just to see what pics are in them (as updates are applied to the game - sometimes they add / change graphics).
