Sounds like you're asking for a guild hall. Maybe they can put a tavern on K9 and you can choose to spawn there in Safer Seas with your guild mates but no ship (and an invisible wall around the island preventing you from leaving). You can role play, drink, duel, and act all piratey to your heart's content, then split into crews and set sail. That could be fun.
As for me, I see no technical nor game-related reason why guilds can't have more than 24 members. I don't believe there are a lot of communities with more than 24 members, but they certainly are vocal on the forums, talking about how their Discord guild needs five guilds to accommodate all the members, and they have to constantly shift them around what guild their in so they can all play with each other at any given time, et cetera.
It's literally just a label on a character, or an ID in a database that takes up very little storage space. Why is it limited??
@lordqulex yeah I don't see the point to that either, but off the top of my head it could be to do with balance for emissary ledger's but that doesn't really seem like it should be an issue to me

Cheaters and alliance servers already make up the top 5% of ledgers, the rest of us only really need ~1M+ to get into the top tier, which is only four to eight hours of focused play. (Source: last month's ledger) If they wanted to make the ledger fair again, they'd find a way to prevent alliance servers. But they won't because alliance server players love those premium cosmetics in the emporium...
@sansoif, I would love to have the ability to post announcements to other guild members. Could create event days, reminders, encouragements, etc.
I think some sort of guild chat, even if its exclusive to main menu to help recruit like minded mates to a specific ship would be good. Perhaps more guild cosmetics, and maby a hideout, regardless if its a starting hub that would replace the menu idea, or just an in server place to get special guild cosmetics.
There is not a lot i can think of that fits in with the games simplicity and would improve it much. The original idea and hope i had for what guilds would be when teased went out the window once it was announced what they were.
I'm not too into the design of guilds. Far too -different server- alliance feel mixed with just serving the same ledger cliques that pretty much everything "community" focused serves.
It's not gonna get re-designed so it's become very "it is what it is" to me.
I'd like to see stuff like guild bingo card events, based on just common SoT activities for guilds to have fun with.
Meg maps for hunting guilds where there is a map where guild member's meg kills are marked on a map just for fun.
a "recommended guild" thing would be interesting where people could opt in, then if some solo out there kills megs or visits a bunch of shipwrecks all the time they will be recommended guilds (that opted in) that also kill megs regularly or shipwreck fish or whatever. It would be cool to use an algorithm of organic activity to help people out socially.
Just fun stuff, so much in this game is designed for a social media grind where it's just cheesed and extreme and then most of the players of the game have to deal with everyone else's nonsense. Ledgers for example.
@sansoif
Personally I would like the ledger to be limited into different sections. It is impossible for small guilds to reach far into the ledger, compared with these 24 player guilds.
Not important tho, I just thought it would be nice.
I would love to be able to pledge my entire guild to a single faction.
That way my guild (the E. Scrooges) could be fully aligned with the Gold Hoarders. This would be a decision made when creating the guild.
Then you can build a different type of experience with the Gold Hoarders that is tied directly to the company and it's aligned guilds.
