OK...here it goes:
1) A list of members, levels, classes, and rank
2) Date when they joined
3) To allow the guild leader to actually enable/disable all the available actions, either per member or per rank. Actions being invite, remove from guild, Donate to guild bank, withdraw from same, award xps, etc.
4) The ability to teleport to your guild hall using the guild book
5) The ability to promote/demote without the guild member being online, also, to remove from guild without the member being online too
6) The ability to donate/withdraw to and from the xp bank.
7) The ability to actually get to the guild messages without going thru 3 or 4 actions...should only be 2 actions...goto guild messages...then read from the list
8) The ability to have guild messages repeat a number of times (to be determined by whoever has that action enabled), instead of once upon logging in, like that idiot newpaper vendor, who repeats his message to the Nth degree.
9) The ability to send guild messages to a single member, or to any number of members, instead of the default: all members.
10) If there is anything I've forgotten, add that too ;D
Really, I know that all of this isn't going to be possible, but, most of it should be.
And, what is possible, should be controled by the guild book.
I've talked to PI about a "merchant" type to collect guild tokens and exchange them for forge tokens, which would be helpful.
And I know that many of my guild members have ideas too, so let's get them posted before Night takes off.

Good ideas there. ;D
I was also thinking of the ability to send a request to a guild. This way people dont have to be logged on when the guild leaders are on. They can send the request, log off, guild leader can log on and accept, and the PC becomes a member.
Also, maybe the ability to be in multiple guilds. ^_^

Cool ideas there : ) Night, if you're able to make any of these improvements to PGS, we should upload to the vault eventually and call it "PGS Netheria Add-on" or something. It would be a way to up our NWN street cred.... Keep it real... Phunic out

Those are excellent ideas Night ;D And I think P is right. Once the PGS is changed to fit Netheria, it should be changed to Netheria Guild System, or something along those lines Rooker

Yep, I definitly plan on doing that! ;D I wanted to name it something close to Player Guild System, so it would show up in more searches. But I do plan on spamming it with Netheria advertisments. I mean everywhere! Web page, comments, and in the description. ^_^ Even post a comment on the original PGS about the update (since the link is broken and to promote Netheria some more ;D ) Keep the ideas comming! - Nightmare

Well, slight change of plans. Im leaving early friday morning instead of saturday. Everyone told me Saturday... Anyways, this is a little bump to get some more ideas in before I go. Didnt know how big the PGS was until I imported it. So it might take some more work than what I thought, but I believe it can be done. ^_^ - Nightmare

Updated 8/8/05> Rooker's Ideas: 1) A list of members, levels, classes, and rank Possible. Its going to be database driven.Done, but with only names. Might add more later, just need to keep an eye on some things with the final version2) Date when they joined Possible. Again, database driven.Done3) To allow the guild leader to actually enable/disable all the available actions, either per member or per rank. Actions being invite, remove from guild, Donate to guild bank, withdraw from same, award xps, etc. Possible. Might have to put a config setting to allow that or not.Trying some things out. Guild Leader can now disable all request and invites.4) The ability to teleport to your guild hall using the guild book. Im pretty sure that can be done.Already in the PGS, though Guild Hall (main territory) option is added.5) The ability to promote/demote without the guild member being online, also, to remove from guild without the member being online too Im working on the new invite system, so with it this is possible. (thats if it works...)New function being worked on to check for offline changes6) The ability to donate/withdraw to and from the xp bank. This is pretty much done. Just need to add the ability in the book.Done7) The ability to actually get to the guild messages without going thru 3 or 4 actions...should only be 2 actions...goto guild messages...then read from the list Yeah, im going to reorganize it.8) The ability to have guild messages repeat a number of times (to be determined by whoever has that action enabled), instead of once upon logging in, like that idiot newpaper vendor, who repeats his message to the Nth degree. Possible.Might be laggy...and annoying like the newspaper vendor9) The ability to send guild messages to a single member, or to any number of members, instead of the default: all members. Ill make a message system as well.DoneAll of these are good. Might take some time though. Im going to play with my routers some and see if I cant get a server through for testing. Testing server is no go. All changes will have to go to the mod. So any bugs and the like that slip through testing....youll have to live through it till a fix comes. Sorry...- Nightmare

Alright, I have an idea for the entering message. What do you think of this (appears when you log in, and if you are a member of at least one guild.):
---------------------------------- Player Guild System v#.# ---------------------------------- > [Guild News] - The Guild's Guild The Guild's Guild wishes to welcome all new members. Please donate so that we can provide our members with the best protection.
> [Guild Offers/Invites] - No new guild offers ----------------------------------
If you dont like this, please say so! If you have another way, please post it!

---------------------------------- > [Guild News] - The Guild's Guild The Guild's Guild wishes to welcome all new members. Please donate so that we can provide our members with the best protection. > [Guild Offers/Invites] - No new guild offers ---------------------------------- Instead of that, what about this: ---------------------------------- > [Guild News] - The Guild's Guild The Guild's Guild welcomes you back to Netheria. You have # new personal guild messages You have # new guild-wide messages > [Guild Offers/Invites] - No new guild offers/invites or -You have been offered a promotion...congratulations! That is if your in a guild. If not, then: > [Guild Offers/Invites] - No new guild offers/invites or - You have recieved an invite to The Guild's Guild ---------------------------------- Those are when your entering Netheria. Just my thoughts for that great idea (never thought about entering messages ) Hope those help, Rooker

Keep in mind, im also going to try to add the ability to be in multiple guilds (That is, if it works, and if it doesnt cause problems)
Under [Guild News], all guilds that you are a member of will show their latest news message.
I was thinking of having the private message system universal. So maybe at the bottom it would show how many messages you have. THat way you can use the system in the PGS, and maybe outside of the PGS (not sure though).
And yes, guild leaders and guild members will recieve different messages. Guild Leaders will recieve a message if anyone sent a request. Others will recieve a message if they get an invite to a guild.
Heres an example of how it would look if your in two guilds. A leader in the Guild's Guild and a member of the Bard's Guild.
---------------------------------- > [Guild News] - The Guild's Guild The Guild's Guild welcomes you back to Netheria.
- The Bard's Guild All members must meet at the temple on 1-19-1354
> [Guild Offers/Invites] - The Guild's Guild No new guild offers
- The Bard's Guild You have been offered a promotion...congratulations! <-- This might be possible to do.
- You have recieved an invite to ThE lAzY gUiLd ---------------------------------- You have 3 new messages ----------------------------------
