Facebook / Guild Features?

Is there a "point" to having a Guild, or friends on Facebook playing the game, right now?

ca5ba mentioned to me that if you've got a Facebook friend that's reached the same level as you, you'll get a minor stat boost (like +5 HP) when you enter that particular dungeon, but that might be the only Facebook benefit at the moment.

As for Guilds, they look like they're purely cosmetic. I have a few people in my own guild (Treaders of The Dawn), but all I can do is see what they're currently wearing for equipment, and my interaction options are limited to promoting a person to Guild Leader or Kicking them from the guild.


Having features like putting gold/gems towards various guild features (increasing the maximum number of members, stat boosts, once-a-day additional benefits like an extra free Standard Chest or a potion to refill 10 Courage) might make guilds more meaningful. Naturally, the better the benefit, the higher the cost and the more members would need to be in the guild.

Being able to "donate" old equipment or gold to lower-level guild members would be a good feature, too. I could understand not wanting to add that, though - if people could get Circle or Triangle items from higher-level characters, they'd be less likely to buy gems and chests!


As for Facebook friends, there should be some benefit to encourage people to "advertise" the game to other people on Facebook, but without being something that makes the game too restricted to people who don't want to use Facebook. Like ... I dunno. Each Facebook friend you have increases your gold found by 1% (up to 20%), or for every five Facebook friends you have your maximum Courage increases by 1 (up to 5).
