At least now the guild members can be tracked when they're off-tag. It offers unique possibilities.
Still not totally in favor of the guildhouses themselves being the prize - it's good, mind, but it's a bit specific, doncha think? I mean, if Ventrue loses interest in Graal, it'll always be, I dunno, Jedi Knights in charge of Voluran's Mausoleum, and yet all the signs will clearly mark it as captured Ventrue territory. I figure if ownership is variable, so too ought be the markings. But that's just me, and certainly lower priority than balancing the number of guilds in CTF vs. the playercount.

292 guilds is problematic, but not itself a problem. If every group of 4 or so players is a Guild, it just becomes a question of which 5 or 6 Guilds owns a Base. Then enforcing that the guilds that own a Base can't switch tags as far as the NPC Server's concerned - if you're a Ventrue, and Ventrue owns a base, but you're also US, you can't just go US, turn traitor and surrender the flag to your Other Guild - you can do a poor job of defending your headquarters, you can even change your tag perhaps, but the NPCs will still see a member of Ventrue trying to burn his own flag and ignore him. It can be scripted, it is possible.
