New House (Castle) Fc's over 300 members

CASTLE HOUSE

New house type 2 per each ward, one in the main division and one in the subdivision.

Requirement's for the new house type:

1. 300 + members in your free company
2. 150M Gil Fee
3. 15M Gil tax per week upkeep

Perks from Castle:

1. One Extra FC buff slot
2. Access to purchase type III buffs
3. Massive Guild Hall bigger than mansion type

What this will solve:
*Will free up some mansions and medium houses in a lot of the wards.
*Will reward players for having an above average sized community, and give a massive group of players something nice to live in.

There are 195 FCs with over 300 members spread across 67 or so servers, and you're proposing 96 castles per server exclusively for them (likely quite a few more after 4.2 hits.) You would just end up with bot armies selling mass membership from FC to FC (it takes less than 40 people with 8 characters each) in order to get around the limit.

Im up for the idea but the requirements hurt people feelings so your thread will recieve lots of hate

[Veritas-Ancora]

Huh.

This is actually a really good idea. It'd reduce the housing market and push for a stronger community on each server.

I agree with the foundation of the idea, which is another size house. I would stay away from any type of repair fee, as other threads have dissected ad nauseum. Also the fc member requirement would really encourage games to be played with members and their membership, bots etc, people getting kicked maybe after, I don't know.....just seems like another thing for people to try and circumvent. I would agree with some other type of requirement, like content cleared maybe by certain amount of members, I'm not sure what, just not fc member amount.

While it sounds great what would happen if they drop under 300 members? Can they have an option to recruit or keep an active member amount of 300 daily? Maybe after 30 days evict them? yeah this sounds like a terrible idea.

[rhosaria]

very nice ideas, and yea this is just an example/idea. I'm sure se will make different requirements and limitations.

The whole concept of this house is the fact its a "guild hall". A house that houses a large amount of people who share an fc/guild.

[rhosaria]

Some cool features that this house type can have, would be free company house construction for example: you can have add-on plots for the house such as giant statues of primals where all fc members who have permission can put resources into building etc..

theres just tons of possibilities when you add in guild halls. It would be nice if se would take this idea under consideration. This is just a blueprint there is so many things that could branch off of this.
