Who deserves a castle??
Since the illustrious Guild Fair is starting soon, which guilds do you think are going to occupy each of the five castles on your server? Please explain your reasoning. There are only five castles per server, so choose wisely!
Rule: You may not name your own guild.
Feel free to reserve your answer until after the fair.0

Edit: GREED BEFORE NEED @lexmax
2 months into release this will change as the guild structures WILL change, as they always do.
The biggest question is, Which guilds will stay alive through the first initial months? This will be the make or break time frame that determines if a guild will stay together or fall apart
In Archeage, on my server the 4 biggest guilds each had a castle as soon as they were released. At one point one guild had 2. But it changed so much it was hard to predict.
I'm thinking the guild with the best node will probably hold a castle for sure.
I don't think you talked to us, I know this because I saw you post about L2 being your favorite MMO and I have been keeping an eye out for fellow L2 veterans
Winter is coming.
It's this sort of networking between multiple guilds that I think may be interesting for cities in AoC. Sure, very large guilds may be able to take control of an entire city itself.... but I suspect that it's going to take multiple guilds in cooperation the majority of the time, regardless of guild size.
Now will that apply to castles as well? Possibly.... even if the game mechanics don't account for guilds in cooperation to officially share a castle, I could foresee a guild within an alliance of guilds claiming the helm while the allies take advantage of the resource. Of course, you'd have to trust your allies wouldn't you? Oh, the intrigue and political drama that could unfold in such a circumstance.... heavy is the head that wears the crown. Its' that sort of intrigue that I love to see in games. You can't create a game specifically for it, you just need a system in place that allows it to happen.
But, yeah.
And now I can go back and keep shoving my head into the absurd fanarts on devianart and tumblr.
Edit should not soul lol
Where we going?
Who deserves a castle? / raises paw........Me
Why, explain your reasoning?...........hummmmm because?
I think I reasonably answered all the questions (and I'm not a guild!).
I'm the type who'd like to be off exploring uncharted areas and return to the Guild for a weekly chat about my adventures, probably whilst winding down in the Guild jacuzzi (*) before going off to the bar? Then the next day I'd be adding to and restocking from the Guild Store before setting off again in a different direction....
Sometimes I might like to take one or two stealthy and cautious others along with me as company.
Where would I fit in?
(*why do you think I so love my towel!?)
