Sorry to quote the whole spiel there, but what I have to say kind of references several points... guild houses and houses need only a couple more layout options imho.

As to towers, have you ever played call of duty 'nazi zombies' ?? It was a popular alternate gameplay option way back when... basically the concept I want to bring to light is that players in that game would be thrown into a building or area with limited entrances (sort of like the towers in graal) and have to defend it for as long as they could against the zombies. Doors and windows were able to be 'boarded up' and blocked to prevent the zombies from coming inside... the parallel that immediately came to mind is that players could work to destroy objects or obstacles that would block the path to the flag, while others could try to destroy or find another way in (like the dual entries in york fort). Potentially multiple entrances (or objectives to reach in order to take over the fort instead of just a flag) would be the way to limit the influence of a guild with multitudinous members! Just hit the barrel of TNT, for example, and the fort gets blasted from underground, killing all inside and putting everyone back at the entrance?

Also, something with 'guild house' and 'towering' might be interesting - the ability to go and capture a 'flag' at some one else's guild house in order to get a prize? Maybe something along the lines of a time limited competition with similarities to guild spar/capture the flag in game, but hosted at players' GH's ?

Which leads me to another interesting concept that I had been toying with a while ago... what about neighbours? I hate how, in many of the current house and GH layouts there is just a line that denotes the end of your level 'property' and no explanation of what goes past there. How about a link to a buddy's place? Other MMO's do this, with varied results... but walking into a friend's place from your own would be awesome!

On that note, so would being able to walk from your own Guild House to your House through a door, warper, level edge... ;)
