Title: Clubs or whatever.
Post by: DarK_SouL on November 05, 2010, 11:20:50 PM
So clubs or guilds an' stuff are something that alot of people want. So I figured I should make a topic, where people can post there Ideas for Clubs and people can say if they think they are going to join, you can talk about it. Either everyone will like it, or no one will post. One of the two.

Anyway, mine is Soul Flare, a club for Dragon type users. Either way, get to posting.

Hm, I guess so, but people were kinda

"I'm gonna make a guild called Super Awesome Guild!"

and not really going indetail, and this is more that. Also that wasn't directly for that, people just started that... I think....

Whatev's.I don't plan on making my own guild, but if everyone else's sucks/ doesn't suit me, I will.
A few rules would be:

A few rules would be:
  • Don't take the game seriously, figgit. It's a bliddy pokemon game. Chillax.
  • This damn guild base is expensive. Pay your share or GTFO!
  • NO BLIDDY TEXTSPEEK!
  • Are you an asshole? Do you try to make other people feel small by talking about how great your so-called 'life' is? Well the door is right over there ------>

I would join that. Especially the first part, even on the forums people overreact a lot, imagine the game itself.

I'm fairly split when it comes to this.

One part of me thinks:
Hey, this would be brilliant. Friends and similar players will be able to connect in a unique way.

The other part of me thinks:
There's gonna be some silly 6 year olds who start a team called "Team Killers" or something utterly ridiculous who will spam our chat with: PLZ JOIN TEAM KILLURZ LOL WE R TEH BEST TEEM ON PU AND WE WONT MORE MEMBURZ PLZ.

A wild 6-year-old-spammer appeared!
6YOS used REQUEST TO JOIN GUILD!
What will you do?

Mello used MUTE!
Wild 6YOS isn't annoying anymore!

I'm not too keen on this idea. Mainly because Pokémon Universe is meant to reflect the console games. In the console games - there aren't any guilds etc.

Of course, this being an MMORPG and not just a 1 Player RPG, there would need to be some sort of teamwork element... but isn't there a double battle system or something? (I think I read it somewhere.)

Anyway, back to topic - I like the concept of the idea, but I feel maybe the guilds would take over the 'objective' of Pokémon, which has always been to kick Gym Leaders' asses, pwn the Elite 4 and then murder the Champion so that you can claim your rightful place as ruler of everything, if I had to worry about everybody in the same guild as me - I'd find it difficult to get in any training for the 17 gyms this game will offer.

It is meant to be better then the video games actually, so they try to introduce new games.

Yeah. And I bet it will be. It's just that a guild would still take up a lot of a person's time on a game.
I used to play WoW (forgive me), so I know that being in a serious guild takes a lot of time for gameplay and stuff.
I know there are quests in the game, but still... the 'main' objective is to beat all of the gyms. And either way; questing and doing gyms takes a significant amount of time... maybe a guild would take up some of that time.

But of course, one could simply... not join a guild.

I'm an idiot.

It's a good idea.

Guilds/Clans have been confirmed, and even buildings they could use as a Base of Operations. They're in.
In other games, I tend to join a guild/clan, and as soon as I notice inactivity going on, I splidaddle and find a new one.

Im thinking about making a team simply named "The Elites". If that doesnt work im down for joining other teams, got to get this stuff sorted out before the game gets launched

Actually, there is something like that since DPPt came out called 'Groups'.

There is no Elite 4 in PU. Would taking care of a guild be taking so much time? I don't think so.

EDIT: Fixed a typo...

Ah yes. I had completely forgotten about groups.

Also, I know there isn't an Elite 4 in PU, but there will be tournoments. I for one would like to perfect my Pokemon for said tournaments.

A big guild requires a lot of commitment... especially if you're the leader... but then again, I'm only getting this from WoW; it'll probably be different (and better) in this game.

Pokemon Universe is meant to reflect the nostalgia, and the joy, that all players had when opening up and playing their first Pokemon game. We are the joy you had at getting your first starter; at defeating your first trainer; the sadness of losing your first gym fight; the constant challenge to beat everyone around you, including your rival.

We represent the ideal of Pokemon, not the game itself.

At least to me. So, there will be guilds. And anything else we decide to put in to, plainly, make the game more fun. We're not out to mimic the original games. We're here to make them more fun, while keeping what we fell in love with.

EDIT: Speaking as someone who runs his own guild on WoW, unless you are running end game content, or their is a fight between guild members, guilds require absolutely no effort to maintain. You start it, invite people, and that's all.

Nothing will be fundamentally different in PU. Unless you make it complicated, it will be the same as maintaining a large party of friends you enjoy talking to. Things are only as complicated s you make them.
