why are you idiots so stubborn on the name of "guildhouse?" Originally "PLAYER houses" were meant to be private, but are now public. And guild houses are much larger to fit the PUBLIC. And besides even though guild houses were originally meant for guilds, a) you can invite non-guild members in anyway, b) the owner can disallow members access to the guildhouse.
And besides, no one puts anything real fancy in their player houses, all i see are mazes and crap. Most people put more stuff in their guild house because its BIGGER. I have 500,000g worth of furniture in my guild house and no one else sees it.
Basically: i paid 5 frickin dollars for my guild house so i should be able to make it public if i want. the rest of you can keep it private if you want
