WAR (Warhammer Online)

I voted the 1-5% range because our guild charges 5%.  We have 66 members currently and we make a decent amount of coin for the guild at 5%.  Honestly they could raise it to 10% and I would still be happy.  I would accept up to 20% even as we all gain lvls.  For a new guild with few members and/or a lot of low lvl toons I think 5% is a good start. 

The guild im in uses a tithe so each person can set their own taxes.  I find most people use 5-7%.  It builds quickly with a guild of hundreds of people.  A smaller guild may want to opt for a higher percentage.

Far starting guilds, with low level players (IE, not in T2 or above), 10% is adequate.  However, this will need to be adjusted.  Once you hit T3, you're getting about 1 silver or more per kill.  Gold is easy to get in this game, and there is honestly little to spend it on.

50% is good for a T3 guild.  This helps maintain a good enough gold level for the guild to purchase standards and keep "rent" in the bank for when you get a keep at Guild Rank 14.

I thought it was going to be excessive.  My guild originally had a Tax Rate of 10%.  We were discussing increasing that to 50%.  For a few hours, while they were waiting to talk with the other officers, I was 10% base (required) and a 40% tithe.  It isn't bad.

I honestly wish there was functionality to base the tax rate off of the level of the person.  Think of it as tax brackets, the more you make, the more you pay.  Thus, the higher levle you are, the more you pay.

high guild taxes are the way to go if your guild plans to claim a keep for extended periods of time. Once you get to rank 20 or so looted items sell for some decent pocket change and you really won't need the coin drop after you buy a mount and last name =p

Yeah it costs alot of Gold to keep a keep. =P so guildies need to PAY UP!!

trying to find a page with info on the keep costs and such, but cannot find any.

anyone have any info on this or can give a link to a site that has info on keep costs?

thanks in advance.

We not claiming keeps in our guild now. we collecting our gold atm to have a lil stockpile. Making sure everyone gets a level 40 char, some people are working on having 2 40ies quite fast so they can rotate after what is needed. (Crazy in my opinion!)

Don't try to convice them to raise the tax and pay for the keep. They will realise their mistake too late and we will have more keep for us.  One day you will see the light and understand that you can not catch up on us, because we already have our tax to 100%.

If you raise taxes on your guild and the high ranking members get richer and it sends your guild crashing. Don't worry the Senate and Congress will just add another 150 billion to the BS Plane er I mean Bailout plan for your guild and others guilds too.
