I am not sure what I expected but I am really happy, I didn't know you would be able to buy amenities so they were a pleasant surprise. My guild got the one in Antonica and we were the only ones on our server (last I checked) that allowed visitors so we had a lot of people coming thru which was kind of cool. We got the beacon with call to guild hall first, also a few bells... and the druid rings... oh I love them, love them, love them... between them and my wizard ports it saves so much time.
We also got the harvesters, and someone set up a crafting area with all of the tables, and fuel, recipe, and writ merchants. I like it because I actually get to see the people in my guild and getting know people better already just from exploring the gh and now hanging out there.
