We have this nice concept called reputation. Then we have this process that is
not so nice called reincing. Then we combine these two with personal attribute
\"i want to try and test that and that\", urge that is player
depending totally.
This gives us the present situation where some guilds punish the player for
trying/tasting anything else, some heavily some nominally, while other guilds
don´t, at all.

When guilds loose reputation so vaistly different rate, it also produces an
order of superiority addition to the abilitys the guilds offer. \"Test X
first as it has no repu loss and after that test Y that has repu loss\"
Also if the price is heavy, it effectively makes sure you won´t try
anything else. If testing something, even for a realy short time, means
throwing (couple) years work out of window, it is not an option. This even
more emphasized by rebirth.

So my humble request is that rep loss would be solely made time depend
something along lines:
Each day online out of the guild drops your repuation with XYZ.

XYZ could be: number of online days not been member of the guild (the longer
you are away, the faster your name is forgotten), number of members the guild
has got online (refelcts the number of eager people that want their name to be
heard over yours) or simply flat X% (easiest to code and worst as it is plain
blah).

e.g.
It has gone 11 online days since you were a member in a guild, you loose 11
reputation in that guild.
You are not member of a guild and first time as you pop online today, you
loose 22 repuation in that guild as there is 22 members online in that guild.
You pop online and as you are not a member of guild you loose flat 33% in that
guilds reputation.

With this those top notch leaders in repu guilds could get a (sane) way to
test something other outside of their present guild.
I know that i would like to test but the rep loss keeps me quite firmly bound
in my guild. I can just imagine the frustration of persons that would loose
truly LOT of their work in a expedition to other guilds, like Moonlord and
Pirutar to name a few that you all know. They might even consider rebirthing
if the idea would be extended to include that too.

A :-D hits you.
