WAR (Warhammer Online)

Well I'm tired of hearing everyone talk about AoC on a Warhammer forum so I'm trying to get it back on track.

Here is my question thats been swimming around in my head.

In RvR do you think there will only be two major guilds on each server (one for each side)? As in it going to be the same guild taking the keeps and Fortresses over and over again or do you think there will be a healthy competition between several smaller guilds?

To all of you who say I'm bitching and whining well Kirby says screw you    t('.'t)

I think too many people like being guild leaders. While there will probably be a few Large guilds on each side per server, I am guessing there will be MANY MANY small guilds. I for one hate large guilds because I like a small, tight knit group. I also think it will be a better feeling to see your small guild hold a keep, rather than seeing your huge guild hold every keep in the area...

...plus, I would HATE to hold the banner for a large guild. Thats a lot of pressure.

I agree. I like small to maybe medium size guilds than a large zerging guild. When you actually know everyone easier to play with those people and learn each others style. I think that tends to lead to more successful PvP and PvE.

There will always be some mega guilds that will stand above others. PLayers like to be on a winning side, and if they see a guild that is succeeding (by whatever measure) they will flock.

However, that is NOT to say that medium sized guilds cannot also be succesful. I still prefer the comradre of  a medium guild rather than those Mega guilds. A percieved top ranking of a guild often forces the guild to push forward in order to keep its status. That often easily burns out the members and breeds drama. I was unfortunatly a part of that experience (See Awned's Monument for that storey)  

I agree with Czzarre and Misterorff (as well as you Op) but I tend to prefer medium to small even if I don't mind to be in a small guild. Medium can, like said previously, overcome large guilds which is actually quite challenging and fun. The obvious thing in medium\small guilds is the fact that you actually can make online friends that way and by that keeping the members more united. Even if some are not there when you're playing you still got online posts and guild web site forums.

To the Op: thanks for bringing back a subject that matters other than talking about AoC - which I refuse to partake specially if it's to rent a game and its hype meter - this is a WAR forum after all.

Cheers!

Well guilds can form alliances, So i see many small/medium guilds doing that.

So in the end you will have large alliances dominating.

Yeah... there are mechanics in place that favor guild alliances over mega guilds.

- the "sweet spot" for guild size regarding guild xp

- one guild can take over only one keep at a time

In addition alliances will be able to hold a max of 10 guilds so even those won't be too huge.

Yeah indeed guys, almost forgot about that guild alliances.

I'm in a large guild and I know everyone in it.

WIN WIN :D
