Neverwinter’s next expansion is called Strongholds, and it’s coming to a PC near you this summer. Players will work together with their guild mates to claim an abandoned keep and rebuild it on “the largest map in Neverwinter,” according to a Cryptic press release.
Strongholds tasks guilds with clearing the lands around the keep of monsters before building structures and tower defenses as well as siege components to attack enemy guilds. “Strongholds gives our Neverwinter players the ability to create their own stories of banding together with their guild to forge the tales of their rescuing of lands overrun with orcs and defending their turf from invading players,” says executive producer Rob Overmeyer.

That and probably a good new dungeon to end the elemental story and i think we lla have a very good mod 7, probably the best mod.
Don't fail it !
It's a good job you have someone with lots of AD in your guild then (providing it's useful)
We've already got a thread theorizing what it might be like -> http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?922731-Mod-7-Neverwinter-Strongholds-! ;D

Thanks for all the fish.
Hmm. Skeptical. They can't even handle the lag in Tiamat and they're going to handle siege warfare??
So -- a "siege" of 8v8 players perhaps??

It's probably a pvp queue like any other, accepted by a guild party, from within a guild stronghold that they've built with guild donations..
Don't think a solo guild with a ruined keep that isn't queueing for GuildVsGuild combat will have to participate. ;D

Yeah, thats a concern. Maybe theyll implement a method where a guild actually needs to 'invite' another guild to warfare (GvG) or a simple toggle it to open warfare against anyone.

I am relatively certain that any guild that doesn't want to do the content can completely ignore it.
Not sure if you'd be able to peacefully work on it uninterrupted as a small guild without being harassed though (just by the pasted-in phrasing since I didn't see the article).
Trailer was nifty. Neverwinter does a good trailer.

Thanks!
There was nothing more, I copied the whole text.
1. you donate resources to the projects and receive guild money
2. you can buy new gear with the guild money, the money stay with you even if you switch guilds
3. you need to upgrade specific areas in the castle, upgrades open access to new gear; guild gear is in many areas the best in the game (so you do dungeons for the resources for the guild projects); these upgrades are very costy (I expect 10s of milions ADs)
I am in favor of ranked sieges similar to the system in Runes of Magic. There was only one major flaw in design and it was guild-hopping
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Everyone likes a good "I told you so!" when you warn about a possible mis-step and the warning goes unheeded. Perhaps there is also the possibility that perhaps our feedback does, on occasion, lead to better content than it would have without it.
So sad.
I got goosebumps watching this trailer. That being said, this would be another direction for PvP. I do not think that ANYONE will be allowed to raid your guilds bank. I have a feeling, after have played some games similar to this, the guild will have to rebuild the structure if they lose... while they are in a protected state. I highly doubt that Cryptic would handicap a guild or allow the farming of guilds to happen.
What I see this creating are guild alliances and guild enemies... similar to the Luskan and Delzoun thing in old GG.
This is an open book... and it does no one any good by thinking about the end of the book before we read the first page.
