"Player" houses have been openable to the public for quite some time now; yet Guild Houses are still restricted to the default options.

Why is this?

Obviously if one pays five dollars for the GH versus the one dollar for the player house it should have more features if not the same? This is not the case however. I have heard the argument that making them both openable de-values the player houses; but I think this is a silly argument. We payed 5x more for the Guild House than we did for the player house; of course it should be able to have the same features as the player houses. Here is my proposal; and I really hope it can come true as I have spent two years decorating my Guild House and it really saddens me that I have to manually invite people in order for others to enjoy it.

*Rename Guild Houses to "Big Houses"
*Allow them to be opened to the public as well as a separate option to open them to friends
*At the VERY LEAST, add the "open to friends option"

Thank you for reading this; I am not trying to sound self righteous but I really hope this problem can be addressed.  

The "Open to Public" option should have been with guild houses too when it came for regular houses. I don't see why not.

But, yes, I agree with your idea.  

this is a really good idea  

We eventually aim to introduce 'real' guildhouses where members can be given rights to manage furniture, etc. This isn't suitable for the current guild houses because they are associated with players and not guilds themselves. This will most likely result in the current guildhouses becoming a 'villa' or the likes.

Excellent  

Give house owners power to drag others  

I like the idea of "Guild Related Furniture" items.. Maybe being able to upload guild themed furniture, like heads and bodies.. Example being, my guild "SoB" there isn't very much to represent it in anyway, so I could whip up a banner with "SoB" written on it, in colours that represent the guild itself..

That would be cool if the actual 'Guild' house had guild banner on it :0

Thank you for clarifying this!  

I was just thinking about this the other day. I thought they could add a new bigger house for maze scammers. Then make a separate actual guild house and up the price to start up a guild. Then include the guild house with the purchase of the guild. Thus making it so only guild owners would have them and they would be openly accessable to any one on that guilds tag,and would not be able to be opened to the public. Then perhaps have a few items inside to benefit the guild. like bomb/arrow venders ect.
