I'd like some way to expand a guild beyond just a neighborhood. Maybe a Guild listing sort of like clans in other games, just better. Perhaps you could somehow earn things for your guild with all the people in the guild working together in some way, maybe there would be "Guild puzzles" to solve to earn these things.

What do you guys think?

I'm no to keen on this idea, take WoW for example there is just waaay to many guilds, some only have 1 or 2 members just because people want a name above their heads.

Groups can be expanded beyond the hoods, just set up a website for said group, organise gatherings elsewhere in the cavern/ages.

Guilds should be limited to ones that will benefit (ie writers, maintainers etc) IMO

I agree completely with Tweek. Fan-created guilds = 'hoods.

Rather than split us up and create all that additional overhead of the work required for separate websites, I'd like to see groups (guilds, neighborhoods, cone herders, etc) use a Cyan-established website for the purpose. One domain, such as DRCSite.org or here on UruLive.com, to put in my favorites list is a whole lot more attractive to me. You'll have a complete and definitive list of organizations to find something you might be interested in, rather than having to spend time building a list yourself or searching for an unknown you might never find.

I know there are worthy sites like UruObsession, DPWR, Guild of Greeters, and, yes, the DJC (Tweek's site), who have built their own look and content. But I doubt it's out of the question to have the tools on a Cyan site to allow for such things. This wouldn't preclude you from doing your websites as an extension, but I would just like it better as a subscriber to be able to see the community at a glance and contribute without all those extra URLs, registrations, usernames, passwords, and interfaces to remember and slog through.

I think a lot of the sites are artifacts of the separate Until Uru shards anyway. With the return and hopeful continuation of Uru Live, the need for separate websites is not so compelling.

Finally, anyone with a good idea but who cannot hope to build their own website and organization would have the built-in tools to express themselves in the community. It gives everyone an equal chance.

From what I gather, there are lots of different fan-created Guilds out there. Some of them would be Shard-olny (ie, Guild of Slackers), but when LIVE comes, I'd like to see these guild recognized in some way.

Then maybe there should be a screening process for guilds, or some other thing, such as puzzles.
