Why isn't the guildwar function in game?

[Nyrod]

omg yes!

[SearyxTZ]

balance expectations would be nil since it's a completely optional feature

(and since the players who want it the most are basically like recovering alcoholics who would accept a Jersey Turnpike shot and like it)

[JenJen]

sounds brilliant

[Mellor]

Yes please

I know a lot of people in other guilds would enjoy this. Hell even I would. It takes away from the non stop farming, and adds more to the game. If people don't want to be part of it, they can guildremove themselves till the "time period" is done with.

I know many guilds have a 2nd guild tag laying around, so it's not like it would be "gtfo of the guild, were here to slay bitches". We can tag them in the 2nd guild and pick them back up when its over with.

Also having only 2 guilds at a time have this option, seems ehhh to me. Maybe up to 4 guilds at a time, seems reasonable.

Dooooettttt

I seriously cant see whats so fun about PvP. Maybe someone can tell me that. Think it would be the same arm wrestling. I always lose!

Not that I am remotely qualified to comment on what makes for a good PvP scene, but I could see the RP as well as the purely tactical appeal of having a couple of guilds existing solely for the purposes of PvP with each other. Good vs Evil perhaps?

But I imagine the appeal of PvP for its true afficionados is the ability to jump out and ruin the day of pretty much any other person on the server whom they are able to ambush. Guild based PvP might not be their cup of tea.

Didn't SOE try a Teams-based server at some point? I wonder if the success or otherwise of that server might give some insight as to how well a guildwar function might work in P99?

If you want to pvp go to a pvp server. All that is going to happen is Uthgaard is going to put in hours of work and then either it will go unused or it will be used for a short period of time then abandoned just like live.

I would very much like this. Consider the amount of players/guilds from pvp servers that play here. Several of the guilds created here are remade RZ guilds.

[Knuckle]

Trying to argue about PVP in this thread is purely comedic, this is a classic feature of every blue server on everquest.

That being said, the merits of this feature are limited only to ones creativity. Can definitely solve guild disputes in this manner if both guilds are willing. Can roleplay with it. As far as PVP only guilds, I wouldn't hold my breath, it's too much of a /duel like function to maintain enough momentum. Not to mention that PVP with no balancing on p99 is going to be grossly imbalanced.
