I'm not sure if I can go to Osha since I have decided to choose Artemis so far. Maybe I will though, who knows. I'm only level 10 and I just picked Artemis since most of the information that I read said it had the highest population for an english PVE server (U.S. server). I could easily just start over again. Usually I don't play on pvp servers in most games.
Is Osha PVE or PVP? I forget now but I'll check it again later. And with guilds, I tend to never use items provided by the guild. I always try to just make it through the game on my own from auctioning or using whatever market systems exist. I have been that way with most mmorpgs that I have ever played.
The buffs however are another story. I try to take advantage of those in most games. Can someone tell me more about them? Like you say it lasts 2 hours for example, but can you get the buff repeatedly, as often as you want it? Or is it just available once a day and gone forever after that? And what is the highest level that a tower can be, and the highest number of them that any guild can get, (in other words, the highest level of buff possible)?
Same question for the stables too, what is the highest level that it can goto? If I decide to stay on Artemis, I'm assuming I should just try to find a guild that has a well established guild castle to get decent buffs. Or I'll look for the same on Osha if I decide to start a character there.
Overall, I was thinking about buying a mount from the store too. Always hated having to run back to town to rent another horse every 1-2 hours. I made alot of gold in the past from auctioning, so I didn't mind the cost of rentals. Just disliked running back. I had the same reason for wanting to buy more inventory space too, had to run back too much. And I'm the type of player that just autoloots everything and sorts through it later. So any extra inventory space is a big advantage.
Thanks for the help so far though. Just want to know more about guild buffs and I think I'll finally have my mind made up about everything. I remember reading a guild castle guide somewhere on these forums a few days ago too. But it didn't mention anything about towers or the stable buff system that you just described.
