Guild Breakdown

Okay, so there's been a bit of out-of-forum discussion regarding guilds, and here's something Sou and I came up with:

We have 3 differing "elemental" axes in this game;

Law v. Chaos
Arcane v. Nature
Dark v. Light

We also have 3 main planets in this game;
Sneaker Planet, Smasher Planet, and Cloaker Planet.

So our game has a ongoing motif of 3, yes? That's unique, and is definitely something we want to use. however, having 6 available elements, as well as super-specialized classes, means that there's a lot of surface-level complexity to this game.

Which isn't ideal. I suggest we use the guild system to help simplify the world.

Here's what I'm talking about.

When players create a guild, they start out on the main central space station. but the main space station is the only one with the power to not fall into the sun via orbit.
When a guild decides to expand into their own space station, they must orbit around one of the 3 class planets. These planets are owned by 3 separate organizations that supercede guilds. These organizations fall into 3 main alliances:

Smasher planet: Law/Nature
Cloaker planet: Light/Arcane
Sneaker planet: Dark/Chaos

So when a guild initially is founded, they have no specific allegiances. However, when a guild grows enough to expand into their own station, they must then choose their alliances as a guild.
Note that these organizations are not exclusive: A guild that expands to a station orbiting the Cloaker plant does not need to prohibit all Dark-specialized players from joining.

i like the idea we just need a way to make sure players dont assume, or believe that where their guild ends up is something that limits what can be in their guild.

The other problem I see here is with the cloaker planet. We were talking about having two factions there, both searching for immortality, one through Arcane means and the other through Natural. I suppose it isn't really that much of a problem, but it is a minor inconsistency.
