Pirate/Guild Lairs

[Nate Raidhawk]

Hi guys. My idea is that we should have our own island. We go to tab, then on the list to the right, there is an island icon. We click it, and we get to size and place an island in the sea. But you choose which server first. The bigger the island, the more gold it costs.

Then, when done sizing, placing, and naming the island, we sail to it. Upon landing on your island, it is all sand, and there is a tab in the corner of the screen that says, Customize Island. You click that, and you get to add features!!!! Such as trees, huts, dinghies, and even enemies. However, it would also cost gold to add features.

Also, if this is a guild liar, only the GM can customize the island.

If it is a pirate liar, it can only be a small size because it's for one person.

Also, you can decide if you want your island public, or guildmates only. You can also decide a soundtrack for your island. The island will be visible on the map, and also from islands and your ship.

So, mates, what do ye think? Drop by and toss me a comment

I like it, but it should be like the Underground poker games, where nobody else can drop by. It should be something in a different world, for lack of a better word. You go to your map, and at the bottom, next to port of call, it can say something like "Go to Guild Island" or "Go to your lair" It would get awfully crowded if it wasn't like that aye? Otherwise, love the idea.

[Nate Raidhawk]

Well, that works too.

I like the idea, and always thought about it, an sounds pretty kool!

P.S. I think ye spelled 'lair' wrong by instead confusing it with 'liar' XD sorry mate, natural habit :P

"The island will be visible on the map, and also from islands and your ship." well only if you are part of the guild i agree xD

[Kat Five Knives]

Aye that would be kewl. In Toontown each toon has his own customizable house, so why not? We could also bury some of our treasure there - and only carry around so much - and if you spend it you can go dig it up. Might be necessary if the ship of the line ever goes back on sale ( 200k gold for that sucker )

Didn't they mention something about this LONG ago?

[angel 4ever]

that be really cool love the idea

[WitchdoctorDan]

Yeah, but there are thousands of guilds. The game would be FLOODED with islands otherwise. If it is only visible to guild members, then good idea. If not, well, it's a little impractical.

Um, loving the typo there, just sayin, it's seriously funny.

On topic. Yeah, I would like a guild hangout. However, for individual pirates I'd prefer a captains cabin. Here's where I'm gonna get a lot of comments. I believe captains cabins should be standard on any warship. And only a warship. Yes, I realize that would mean if you owned 3 warships you'd have 3 cabins. However it would be too difficult to have to limit it to one when there are players out there who sell a warship just to buy another and reduce their max gold. I just think that no starting pirate would actually have a lair or whatnot. I think it should have a level to it, and anyway, a captains cabin would be an appropriate place.

I do agree a guild hall would be nice. I think it could be available to all current guild members via the lookout tab. Then they wouldn't have to be put on the maps, it would just be there.

If we do get captains cabins/ guild halls, they should definitely be lockable. By the pirate, or by the GM. The permissions could work something like ships permissions, but be tagged instead to guild rank. Allow GM, Allow Officers, Allow Veterans, Allow Members, and for when you want friends to be allowed, Allow Friends. Captains Cabins permissions would be separate from ships permissions. That way if you set your ship to public not everyone could get in your private cabin.

Anywho, just a thought.

love the idea!! i think only people in the guild should be able to go there, but it would not be on the map. instead, there would be a button on the bottom or the map page saying go to the guild island. i also love the idea of a captains cabin. i sent POTCO an email about this. i also like the idea of a below deck on a ship that has extra ammo in it, plus you could put extra gunner cannons. what do you think?

[Eliza Creststeel]

Glad others picked up on the thousands of guild islands vs tp or guild only point.

As for quarters there would only be ONE cabin, for any ship - its not a real cabin guys... just a space for your stuff.

And I don't mind 'buying' a space in a guild lair or a cabin - be a good investment, if we were granted more storage space.

i think this idea would take a WHILE but its a nice idea and it would be nice if (like i have posted before) you could have a guild page kinda like in evony for alliances where u can post guild updates (rules events new members and so on)

I think the idea of having a guild hideout is already on the drawing board for Disney's staff. Before I left and cancelled my subscription, they asked for members to take a survey and one of the questions asked what new features would you like seen in the game - one of them being a guild hideout/fortress. Not saying that this is implying it is in the works, but I'm sure they have thought of it. Personally I think it's a great idea, gives guild a real sense of home, you know? Perhaps if they add a hideout they can make a guild vault of some sorts where the guilds can manage money to fund guild fleets, etc.
