Here's a few things from an old manual pdf:

10. How to Manage a Guild
Now that you’ve created your guild, you are its leader. How can you ensure its development ?
• By recruiting new members : simply target a consenting character then do a right click to open the contextual menu where you will find the “Invite in guild” option.
• By kicking out trouble makers : if certain members of your guild make trouble you can eject out. In the guild interface, select the character you want to kick out, then a right-click will open other options among which you’ll find the “Kick” option.
• By promoting active members : you can promote a guild member to the grade of officer or high officer. Select a character in the guild interface, then with a right-click choose the promotion window. You also have the possibility to demote a guild officer. The guild officers will be your assistants or partners to manage the guild.
Note : The maximum number of officers in a guild is limited by the members of your guild.
• By taking a vacation : you can hand over your title of leader to a guild member.
• By purchasing a guildhall : you can buy a building for your guild from the NPC “Guild Clerk”.
• By recruiting NPC “Trainers” : these NPCs allow you to teach your guild members actions which are unobtainable elsewhere. You can recruit them through the NPC “Guild Clerk” and pay with “guild points”, see page xx, guild progression.
• By buying new actions from “trainers” : these NPCs, in addition to their basic actions, can teach other actions to members of your guild. These actions can be bought from the NPC “Guild Clerk” with “guild points”.
• By buying improvements for the guildhall : you can improve your guildhall by buying extensions from the NPC “Guild Clerk” with “guild points”.
• By deciding who can see and who can deposit treasure in the guildhall : a common inventory is located in the guildhall. In the guild interface, select a character then do a right click to give him/her the right to deposit and to see items in the inventory.
• By deciding who has the right to withdraw treasure from the guild : use the same procedure as above to give members the right to take out what is in the inventory.
11. How to Develop Your Guild
The success of your guild depends of several factors :
• Increasing the number if members of your guild : this goes without saying.
• Gaining notoriety : your guild’s fame is influenced by the actions of its members (especially the members in charge), and the success or failure of guild missions linked to the possession of outposts (see page 37).
• Accumulating guild points : won through the guild missions (see page 37).
• Possessing outposts : outposts are key factors in the control of Atys. At the beginning of the game, these outposts belong to tribes (see page 9).
• Possessing trainers : they allow members of your guild to learn new actions (see page 35).
12. How to Accomplish Guild Missions
Your civilization needs the aid of guilds to ensure its survival and its prosperity. For this reason your people proposes guild missions.
In short, a guild mission consists of winning the control of an outpost from a tribe then extracting what your civilization requires. The outposts are key zones where buildings can be erected.
How to Obtain a Guild Mission
Contact the NPC outpost officer. There is one in each town.
There is one guild mission per outpost coveted by your people.
Applying for a mission requires that a mission is available and that your guild has a minimum fame score to succeed.
The officer proposes a guild mission over a period of time. When this delay is lapsed, if your guild is the only one registered, then you get the mission. If several guilds are registered for the same mission, then the mission goes to the guild with the best fame score.
How to Take Control of an Outpost
So you’ve gained a guild mission.
Now you have to take control of the outpost stated in the guild mission.
Caution : You have two weeks to take control of the outpost and succeed in the guild mission.
You can take control by force or through diplomacy.
• Control by force : each outpost belongs to a tribe. You must therefore attack the NPCs of the tribe defending it. The tribe will leave the outpost to you temporarily when you have killed their captain. The captain will appear with his/her guards only after a certain number of combats. Caution : Even after the death of the captain, the tribe will try to recover the outpost by force.
• Control through negotiation : you can negotiate with a tribe if your fame score towards it is at least neutral. If this is so, contact the NPC “outpost steward” of the tribe. He/she will offer you basic missions or tasks. If your guild accomplishes enough tasks, then the outpost will belong to you.
How to Succeed a Guild Mission
Once the outpost is yours, the NPC “outpost steward” of the tribe will disappear. He/she is replaced by an NPC “outpost steward” of your guild.
Contact this new NPC.
He/she will propose you a series of missions. Each outpost proposes its batch of missions by theme. You succeed in the guild mission when your guild has accomplished enough missions.
The reward will be guild points and an increase in your guild’s fame.

I'd really love to see many of those things in Kaetemi's post, it would give some more value to the whole op thing =P

But a lil' voive in my head says we never will =(

[stheno2]

Many great suggestions made, I can't really think of any I disagree with.

The ones I argee with the most are more content/the story evolving as it was said it would and a reversion at least somewhat to original game mechanics ie prepatch 1 era.

Tho some things in that time were seriously imbalanced, it was so fun .

I remember before they nerfed the ability to unlimitedly self heal useing normal heal spells.....these new self heals that take forever to refresh...lol icks

That was some fun solo time hehe, nothing like a low level tanking a Kip in noobland spamming normal heal.

Which brings me to nostalgia, not so much I want this back but, The single starter area in the Fyros noobland was fun. Some fond memories there.

I spend my entire time from early beta till release on noobland helping people progress through. It was fun helping and killing yubos for kicks .

Oh and I want the pre-first nerf Launchers back. Now THAT was a blast scareing noobs by blowing away entire herds of flappies in front of them lol.

OHH!! I want my red undies back!!! (those from early beta should know what I mean lol)

edit: oh and almost forgot, bring back the endless supply of dappers with the ammo selling exploit bug hehe kidding

OHH!! I want my red undies back!!!

Try to log out naked and you might have a nice surprise when you log back in...

Worked a few times for me

lol yea, I've seen that bug, but its just not the same hehe

Lathaniel used to go on and on about the bombs in Beta. One was able to bounce a heal bomb of their packer and heal themselves Overpowered self heal, yes..but awesome. He also mentioned something about a pheonix animation from beta, sounded really cool but I'm not sure about it.

*grins* keiko love, during early Beta two healers with bomb heals kept up an entire 'team' of about 10-20 people (healing everyone including theirselves) .. one healer would use hp/sap and the other hp/stam and we'd be invincible

also, the pheonix animation for the heal was REALLY AWESOME but i think it was buggy for one reason or another and the devs got rid of it? (i stopped playing at open of Focus Beta and didnt come back till 1 year later >.> )

Something - ANYTHING to spend all the SP u collect after a while thats no good to you cause u have brought everything the trainer has to offer.

To see the story progress , i was lead to belive that Atys was changing and Hominkind effected this change. Well 13 months later and i see no change, how long can players PAY to play the same game month in month out.......
