Q u o t e:
k thats cool but im still wondering something, patch 2.3 will come before the next expansion? or is that expansion and if its sooner i guess 2.4 will be wrath of the lich king

I think, that 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0 will come before Wrath of the Lich King. I would call 3.0 actually World of Warcraft 3, which might be a compatibility patch with WLK, in the same way World of Warcraft 2 was a compatibility patch with TBC. While WoW 3 will be accessible for anyone, it is obvious that WLK must be bought.

I am very pleased with the arrivel of the Guild bank feature. :)

Q u o t e:
I'd like an ETA as well.

I think, this is a matter of several weeks, maybe a few months.

make the bank 15000 gold so all guild members are paying for it and people will think for a second time before leaving the guild because they have given money for it.... maybe a idea

ETA?
Well... When 2.2 hits live, measure the time between 2.1 and 2.2 and you have a wild guess of how much longer you'll have to wait.
But since there's not too much info available about 2.3 (If there is, ignore this sentence and tell me to find a new rock to hide under.) I'd say it may take just a little bit longer.

2.3 WILL be before Wrath of the Lich King, because WotLK will be patch 3.0.0.0000(or something).

Q u o t e:
yeay, giev guildbanks so I don't have to stack on lvl 1 chars anymore

Naahh...

Everquest 2:
A guild bank is a shared bank not meant for personal storage. Ie, a member can put in stuff he suspect would be needed by other members (or gold), and they can get the it there. EQ2 has 4 "sections" of the guild banks, and the leader determines if each is available for all or only for members above a certain rank.

A system like EQ2's, requires a lot of trust between members, since it's obviously very easy to exploit.

I don't know know if there will be a similar system in WoW, but I doubt very, very much that guild banks will be available (or meant) for a single person's private use.

ETA:
I doubt Blizzard knows this yet.

Woah. Guild banks could be used by a RP guild of illegal-stuff-selling-Gnomes. Imagine the possibilities. Now when we get guild headquarters, everything is fine.

Hey, being a new player is nothing to be shamed of. All of us have been new to this game sometimes.

I have just updated the first post with some further information:

This is still under development, but currently the plans are as follows:
The Guild Master will have full control over the guild bank. He, or she, will be able to give permission to others to also have control over areas of the guild bank.
It will be possible to setup an area of the bank that everyone in the guild can donate to, but only restricted players could withdraw from. For example an area of the bank could be configured for herb donations and anyone in the guild could hand in herbs, but only the guild alchemists would be able to withdraw them.
This system should extend to currency too whereby different ranks within the guild would have access to different parts of the bank.

The guild bank will also have an online logging system on the website so that guilds will be able to track all the comings and goings from their bank.

A small but important question... does this mean that the information about what's in a guild bank and who put it there will be made public? Will the "on the website" be a part of the armory, which as of today requires no login?

This system should extend to currency too whereby different ranks within the guild would have access to different parts of the bank.

It is very much like I have proposed in the Suggestions forum under the name Arafina. A system with access rights to the bank, where the Guild Master has full access and can assign access rights to ranks. With sections, the Guild Bank has even more features than I wrote down in that forum.

Q u o t e:
The guild bank will also have an online logging system on the website so that guilds will be able to track all the comings and goings from their bank.

I agree, but it must be protected with one of the following:
- your account name and password;
- your character name and a password that you created at first use, or that the Guild Master gives you.
The Guild Master must also give read access to the bank, so that players without read access will see that parts of the bank are not listed. This must also extend to websites and XML system.

You are misunderstanding the function of permissions, as permissions are assigned to an individual by an administrator (IE Guild Master) And they will decide who gets to do what ever specific tasks are within the bank. A username and pass is not essential, in fact, its redundant.

There is one issue tho... If the guild masters account gets hacked, the whole bank will be lost :S

Probably, I might misunderstand the following:

Q u o t e:

In-game there is no reason to ask for a name and/or password, but as I interpreted it, the bank might be available via the website out of the game. In that case, there should be some protection. IMO, parts of the bank should be inaccessible for reading, if the Guild Master desires so.

Hi,

is it possible to donate/take out mats/items/gold to/from the guild bank by raid members? cause not all raid members are in the same guild.

A scalar guild bank would be nice. I guess, it will be like the normal bank, buying free slots or such.
