Suggestion: When a Guild-member character respawns, they should have a partial (but significant) chance of respawning near their Guild Shrine.
Reasoning: Partly the issues raised here but more importantly: Guilds have consequences. The Nexal Struggle is decided by Guild-related mechanics, and that should play out in the day-to-day lives of the souls that live in it. So you're an Angel who joined a diabolical Guild based in Hell that supports the victory of an Evil Elder Power - you should get a reminder, every so often, that you're backing the wrong side and should either make peace with that or crusade against it. The Adamant Kinship already works like this (kind of). Etc., etc. There's a need for characters to have more control over where they respawn, and this is a nice flavorful way of doing it.
This would be a direct buff to some guilds and make some downright suicidal. Darksoul Cabal for instance, which is in the middle of the lake of fire would be an example of a bad one.
Sires of Retribution would be buffed by this. _________________ Carl Panzram (Eternal Soldier)- Maximum Overdrive

I'm assuming that any tile that's currently non-respawnable would remain non-respawnable.
But yes, this would be a disincentive for some and an incentive for others. For example, my character would be screwed pretty hard by this. He's a Good Wizard in the Darksoul Cabal who's currently getting loads of free MP out the wazoo courtesy of Agh-za-haru (or whoever). There should be some kind of Faustian Price for getting those piles of MP while being diametrically opposed to Agh's agenda.

Sires is also aligned with an evil elder power I believe, yet to make people respawn near it wouldn't be punishment for them at all. I don't think respawn changes are the way to go if you want to do something like this. _________________ Carl Panzram (Eternal Soldier)- Maximum Overdrive

I now know much more about how Guilds and respawning work under the hood than I did when I made this suggestion. The reasoning behind the OP is the issue of people joining opposite-alignment Guilds (Angels in Demon guilds, Demons in Angel guilds). We have better ways of addressing that issue that would be less awful to code.
