A Suggestion About Guilds

I have a few suggestions about how guilds are run.

1. A MOTD sort of thing for guilds, some sort of panel that can be accessed by Command or via guild menu that a Guild Mistress/Master could edit and post messages for members to see much like the Message of the day thing for the rest of the Shard.

For example [gm, a menu will show up, with listings in order.

<such and such day> Guild color has been changed, please remember to dehue or rehue old items
<Such and such message day before> John Doe will be absent from Such Day- Such Day, please leave him a PM if need be. Blah Blah

And so on a so fourth. This would be helpful to get information out to guild members because they arn't all on at the same time and it's exhausting to have to tell different members the same thing day after day. While the Forums serve that purpose, a lot of times most players can't be bothered to look at them and the website sometimes takes awhile to load for me.

2. This is more of an idea, Guild Run events for the shard. Like we could have sort of like A Rush week in college for the guilds, where each guild that chooses to participate runs an event one night out of a chosen week.
So say if we were to do it next week, Ash would on Monday idk, do three champs in a row with a group of people that choose to participate, I would on Tuesday play a massive hide and seek game in the Pines, Wednesday Justin would do something else like chili eating--- doesn't matter. The point is each event will be ran by a different guild every night. Since all the guilds are friendly, I think it would mostly be for new players to get a taste of things the shard has to offer.

That's all I have but I thought these would be nice things, mostly the Message thing for guild updates. Thank you for taking time to read this :)

I think that's a really great idea Serena. Here's some more ideas for guild events.

- Doom (full bones collection and gauntet is a fun way to spend maybe 25-45 mins)
- Dungeon boss clears - Covey/Fire/Deceit are pretty easy, Despise/Hythloth/Ice are pretty hard.
- Gathering event (bring me 1000 of something for a few million gold)

Again, great idea to spur participation and get people into content Serena!

There is always the craftable message board that you can place for your guild to read and/or leave messages as necessary. Just keep it pruned of old messages so it doesn't get stale. Then you have this forum's guild section for more elaborate messages.

@Exodus Awesome Ideas Exodus, I haven't done Doom in soooooo long :(

@Yordor, in a perfect world. That would work, my problem is, they don't check the forums and they don't check the bullentin board and I don't blame them. They have to go out of their way to do so. That's why I think a message that you can pull up any time in game would be ideal.
