I feel if families were implemented it would be cool to build a family tree that is permanent. However you obviously shouldn't be stuck with a family, nor should one be stuck with you if problems arise so you should be able to disown a child. This would merely remove you from the social aspect but the records are permanent. However this is just my opinion from playing roleplay-heavy mmo's in the past so it may be overcomplicating the whole thing.

Adwopt mwe pwease I bet this is more convincing..

Good discussion. I'll completely dismiss my original idea since you did such a good job at convincing me otherwise.

Grale bebyz wil ris AGIN!  

I think the staff should add a simple Family System soon. (so #noLimit stops... lmfao) and then when they finish adding more guild updates they(fp4 and rufus lmfao) can work on bettering the Family system.  

Love this idea I'd really like to see this implemented.

Very good idea, one question, can we be in GST's with these families?

I don't think there should be any other functionality to families other than the ability to chat. I originally suggested this as a way to replace social guilds, and I think the new guild system they're working on will have a lot to offer for guilds that actually care about gameplay.
Graal is a very casual and social game, so I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of guilds only exist for the chat experience.

Unlimited members?

I don't see why not, the only benefit you get from recruiting a ton of people is a ton of spam. I guess it could benefit players during holiday events, like recruiting a huge number of players to a family during Easter or Christmas for egg hunting or G4G. I don't really know if that's an actual problem though.

I wouldn't mind something like that, my only concerns against it are that it's probably more RPGish than the iClassic niche of players are used to and younger players may have difficulty understanding how it works.

I do think imposing a limit on how frequently you can join or leave a family would be cool, just to give them some sort of value. Maybe not though, since the rationale behind this suggestion is to kinda dodge a limitation on guild members...

Where does "Guild House" come into this conversation?

I'm sure they have interesting things to add to guild houses once they finish the guild system update, it will take a lot of time.  

Can you make It so that you can send out announcements and invites to all family members?
(Announcements would work for offline people too, but invites could be like mass guild house invite)

Didn't see this until after my post

So if you have a family guild then you wont be able to create an actual toweting/sparring guild? Or is it in separate leadership?

Separate.  

I think it would be cool to have a deserters fee to make families feel more permanent, like marriage.

Okay baby killing time  

How many people would you want in one group chat before the spam gets out of control?  

75-100
