TUby: IT'd be good to protect the guild WH with a password 'cause there might be a non-reliable guildsman and valuable rares such as xelima or ice weps could be protected.
ah, you get to a point of protection of the guild wh.
I'll give a little bit more info on this matter of the guild wh security.
As we have the Bank Pages in nemesis, we'll re-use this same bank page system for the guild warehouse.
Every page will be for a different guild rank.
(Only 1 page is used by 2 ranks which are equal in trust to be given).
Anyone can deposit in ANY page, but you need the specific rank to withdraw from that page.
small example:
guild wh bank page I (1) is used for the Guild Master only, which means ANY guild member can deposit an item in that page, but ONLY the guild master can take items out of the page !
If we come to guild members, nobody trusts a new commer, therefore we call him a member.
He's part, but not entrusted yet.
A guild member only has access to the 10th page (page X).
A more entrusted guild member, we call Veterans.
Their abilities within the guild are equal to guild members, except for the guild wh access.
Guild Veterans can access page X (10) and IX (9).
So, if I'd be a guild master, and have an x-rap or other rare items to share in my guild, i'd put them in page IX (9).
That way I know for sure only my most trusted members (Veterans) and my higher ranked guild members (leader, commanders and captains) can access my x-rap.
This way of warehouse behavior and rank availability is sufficient enough to prevent, or massivly reduce item theft.
Appart of this different paging/rank system within the guild warehouse, there are also logs kept.
This allows the guild members to view the activity in the guild warehouse.
And, the guild wh behavior (deposit/retrieve) is ALSO logged in GM log files (as are any items you drop, what you say, what monsters drop, who you kill, etc etc etc...)
I had have been brainstorming on this security issue, and that different guild ranks brought me to the idea.
A Guild is supposed to be based on trust and friendship.
Those entrusted and worthy enough, will earn a higher rank.
(Ofcrouse the Guild Master and Guild Leader are the ONLY ones who can change guild ranks of other members)
Nice info, and 1 more question, if there's a guildsman that took an item, and the Guildmaster or guild leader bans that member while he has the item that took from guild WH, the item returns to the guild WH or what?
