I've seen this idea before but I couldn't find it so I thought I would bring it up again.
Ontop of everything else that is already going on for the guild system, I have an idea that will make finding guilds for people much easier.
As of now, this is what the guild menu looks like
(Search Guild Database)
( Create Guild )
( View Joined Guilds )
( Guild Help )

when you click on (Search Guild Database) it is just a search.
What should happen when you click on it, is this:
( Search All )
( Find Social Guild )
( Find Tower Guild )
( Find Spar Guild )
( Find Other Guild )
When you click ( Find Social Guild ) it will bring you to a list that looks kind of like the leaderboard with 3 different categories for the Social Guilds. Today, Week, Season.
Each category will have a list of the 50 most clicked on "social" guilds for today, the week and the season. This way people can find the 50 most popular social guilds and try to join one.
Guild leaders should be able to define their guild as Social, Tower, Spar, or Other. this way every type of guild has a list displaying the most popular ones, making it easier for everybody to advertise their guild or join guilds.
Find Other Guild would just be a list of the most popular guilds that identify with "other". these guilds could be role playing guilds, Baddy killing guilds, Straight Pro PKer guilds like Guild B, or guilds that like to do a little bit of everything rather then sticking to one thing.

I know the guild system already has enough stuff going on but this would be a huge improvement whenever the staff have time to work on something like this.

ADDITION:
You can only APPEAR on one leaderboard. So if your on the Seasonal leaderboard, you wont appear on the daily and weekly leaderboard. and if your on the weekly leaderboard you wont appear on the daily.
this way the daily leaderboard is full of new guilds that you don't see on the season, the weekly would be the best of the week, and the seasonal would be the best of the season. rather then the seasonal names just dominating all 3 lists  

This doesn't take into account that a guild might do for an example soar and tower , it limits a guild to specific game style ,furthermore I'm pretty sure the new system will merge pk spar and tower into one reward pot so having these is bassically pointless ( if this is true ) .

Furthermore more let's say this was gonna happen for a reason or another , how would you even define the popularity of a social guild ? There is no point value that makes any social guild better than another

False, the 'Other' section would be guilds that aim to do both. but overtime its obvious the most successful guilds stress ONE field. US, only known for spar. Alumni, only known for spar, Chain of memories, only known for tower, Guild B only known for PK. Your talking about the minority, most guilds stick to doing one thing. If a guild wants to be known for doing two things he would go under the "other" category that I made...
I already explained that.

Even if the staff do find a way to merge things, this is not useless at all its the opposite. right now if I want to find a guild OR if i want to recruit people i have to physically find people.
With this, the most popular 50 guilds for the day/week/season can advertise their guild. its a better way of finding the type of ACTIVE guild you are looking for, and the most clicked on guilds are most likely also the most popular. The idea is far from useless. Clash of clans has something like this

I would say 90% of the guilds on classic are social guilds, guilds for people who sit around and talk all day and do nothing. Popularity of social guilds would be the most active ones obviously.
This has nothing to do with which one is better, it has to do with finding an active guild that suites you, OR advertising your guild and being able to make a better guild.  

seems unnecessary

seems unnecessary

this attitude is why graal is so boring. is anything necessary? This would help the smaller guilds who aren't already well established, you wouldn't relate.
I would rather see the new guild system come first, but once they have time to add other useful tools, this one would greatly help guilds


If you go on graalonline.com website and click community, guilds, active guilds. its a list of the most active guilds from pc graal. it hasn't been updated but it was a good concept.
All the staff would need to do is allow leaders to generalize their guilds into categories, maybe add a like button on the guild page so that you can like a guild once a day, and then the guilds with the most likes would show up on the list like houses, except with houses the same names appear on all 3 lists(day week season), that wouldn't happen with guilds. It would be a hierarchy where if your on total, you can't show up on weekly or daily. or if your on weekly you can't show up on daily. this would allow new guilds to be seen everyday  

Your entire suggestion is moot, though. When the new guild system gets released (whenever that may be) guilds will be encouraged to spar, PK, tower, etc all at the same time. It makes no sense to divide guilds into specific activities when the whole point of revamping the guild system is to bring all the activities on iClassic closer together.

You, Sardon and whoever else need to stop suggesting things from PC graal.. There is a reason it is effectively dead and iClassic has more players than it has ever dreamed of having.

okay maybe your right, fine, don't divide them into categories. but a popular guild leaderboard in general would be good, working the same way i described it. so u can see which guilds are popular today, which guilds become the most popular that week, and then the seasonal popular guilds. this is a good way to promote new guilds while also showing the best guilds so that people can work hard to join them.

As for PC, there are a lot of things from PC graal that should be added here. PC graal is dead for one simple reason:
its not user friendly for young children in 2016

And iclassic is very active for a few reasons:
user friendly on Facebook, its own website, android store, apple store.
Also a lot of customization and a nice map to run around.

But this idea is still good. Just don't catagorize the guilds then, just do a list of the most popular guilds in general for day/week/total

it was a good concept on PC it just required too much updating, my version is simple. You and whoever else is closed minded, needs to stop using your agenda to shut down other peoples ideas.

I don't think the content on PC Graal is what killed it though..

most ******ed thing you've ever posted, David  

"let's make our thing more like the thing that failed horribly"

A myriad of factors killed PC graal, and yes- content was one of them. A bunch of horribly designed game-breaking items whose soul purpose was to find exploits in the game and basically make it annoying as hell to just afk anywhere outside. Guild activity list was bound to fail based on how little the Guild CP admins cared about it- completely set it up for failure. At least on iClassic admins care enough to not design something they know they won't be consistently be on top of. Let iClassic be what it is and let PC graal be what it was.

Hilarious part is that most of the ideas I see being suggested on this forum are from UN, the ****tiest and most terribly designed server. If you guys were old enough to have played Babylon, Delteria, NPulse, G2K (the list goes on) you would understand how terrible UN actually was. People only played it because it was the last resort. At least it had semi-decent events, but that was it.

Anyways, that was off topic entirely but ya, heres my synopsis: A guild "popularity" list serves absolutely no purpose because the guilds that are worth knowing will be known through activity and skill anyways.

There needs to be a way to show the most active or liked guilds for the season, and a way to see the most active or liked guilds for the day and for the week. It would make it easier for new players for establish their own guilds.  

I agree with David. You would have a bunch of social guilds that don't tower in the towering section, or a bunch towering guilds that don't spar in the spar section. And it really just has no real use, if you want to join a social guild, go to Graal City, or a tower for a towering guild- so on, and so forth until you have 100-odd-thousand of your favored stat, and then you can idle and buy food.

How would that provide any benefit to new players trying to establish guilds? If anything it seems like It would do the opposite, as the biggest guilds would be publicized the most.  

I don't see why it's necessary to promote social guilds in any way at all when realistically all they do is take away from actual gameplay
