Work on upgrading it, there's a thread here somewhere that discusses doing that. It's the one people visit and earns you tavern silver. I just can't see a benefit from any angle.Click to expand.The Friends Tavern is the one you get after researching it, you only get one of these. To break it up by day (and it's assuming there's a controlled steady flow, which of course there's not) I would need to be clearing my tavern every 1.5 hours, without sleeping. For me that would be clearing my tavern 16 times per day.

It takes people a long time to get 24 seats, I currently have 14 as I check fairly often. And see the silver issue above, you would need to do it that often for the same amount of silver you're getting now. You would have to empty your tavern more than 9 times per day to fit that many people. A full friends list and a full guild would equal 219 people, I don't know the seat cap but let's say 24. Should they decrease the amount of silver earned because now it is available to more people? Why go through the extra trouble of creating more work and mindless clicking for the same benefit? People don't want to see tavern requirements on guilds. Some people just don't want to participate in the taverns any longer and while this should impact their friends list, it shouldn't impact their guild.

Add in aiding a full guild and hood and were up to 578. 140 friends aid plus the double tavern click = 420 mindless clicks for friends alone. There are a growing number of people getting sick of the tavern. If the friends tavern is important to you, and suddenly guilds are allowed to participate, your choice in guilds is now impacted by its membership and their participation in the tavern. This would also interfere with individual play. Guilds and guild mates have a number of benefits allowed to them and only them, this was the one thing special for friends. Even if those players weren't in the forefront of their minds, giving friends a greater importance in the game certainly was.

Giving friends a greater importance gave another way for those players to still be social within the game. I really think part of their interest in developing the tavern was to try to help players who chose to go solo and not join a guild.
