Guild item management? (Also idle chatter pt 2)

Morning All!

So, I understand we don't have a guild bank or ship/hall/cantina at launch. Do we have a plan for guild items? Perhaps a running thread where we can list items up for grabs as a virtual guild bank (or is that virtual-virtual GB...)?

I plan to craft like a mad man. I also plan on hitting the game *hard* ("like it owes me money") for the first couple of weeks, and a big part of my enjoyment of an MMO is feeling like I contribute to my guild. If anyone needs an item or quest assistance, look me up! Odds are good I will be on.

Lastly, because I crashed early and now woke up three hours earlier than normal and feel very talkative, anyone else interested in this Legacy system? It sounds like it *could* be very neat. I'm a tad sad I have to regrind a character up to 25 first (made it to 19 during beta and I plan on starting with the same class for my main) to get the family name claimed. I'd be devastated if someone else on our server planned on using the same name (Eclipsis, an old character surname used elsewhere).

You should have a chat with Aldente if you haven't already. He'll be heading up our crafting pursuits ingame and we've talked about him setting aside a personal character bank to store crafting supplies for the guild till we get a guild bank ingame.

There's a thread here about the legacy system if you wanna give that a read.

Ah, the thread was handy, thanks Fearless Leader! I'll also PM Aldente now.

In this interview with IGN, James Ohlen says: Guild functionality is something that we're working on right now. The first piece of guild functionality that we want in the game is guild banks. We have a team that's essentially just going to be pumping out new guild functionality on a regular basis.

Uhm... what exactly is a guild bank? Can we borrow crafting resources and pay back later with a huge interest?

Hah, no. Just storage, usually, but Guilds set different rules and expectations.
