[crossfire] Private apartments versus guilds

[Nicolas Weeger]

Hello.


I'm wondering on the use of guilds versus private apartments.


From what I see, the 2 major points of guilds are:
- having portals to many towns and places in the world - that is probably the 
most useful for me
- sharing items between players (or even your own characters)

Negative points are:
- there are only a few guilds, so not all players can join one
- guilds are expensive, and their crafting facilities have a nice price for 
use


On the other hand, private apartments provide:
- buildable areas
- free crafting facilities if you buy the relevant material (or add a 
cauldron)

They do lack "safe" item sharing, though.


With the addition of the bank's vault plane, this adds some buildable 
location, enabling a player to sleep there directly, from anywhere in the 
world.



So well, I'm wondering on what to change to make it more balanced...

Should the private apartments have also portals to other places in the world? 
Should they be connected once you bought them (so you can jump from Scorn to 
Darcap)?

Should the guilds be more opened, easier to join?



Ideas?
