Anzu,
While this is great that you guys are working on your database issue, this is really impacting new guilds. If you have 1 architect in guild (And it is a small guild and it is expensive to level up another architect), this architect gets capped when you are making slabs, frames and girders for your guild. NONE of the 33,000+ creations count towards leveling up your guild. (This equates to roughly 20,000,000 Renown or to help clarify some more, roughly 2 guild levels.) I know we get renown for putting up the buildings, and that is good but capping my guild's architect is keeping us from leveling our guild at least two levels (I haven't figured out what the wall impact will be but again, probably another level).
This is a huge unfair disadvantage for a new guild. I guess we will never be able to get up an inn or be able to use a traveling merchant....
