Guild member join
« on: June 06, 2005, 06:43:33 pm »
i\'m not sure if this has been said, i checked a bit searching proved useless.

what i would like is a message thing when a guild member joins the game, like you get when a member of your buddy list joins the game.

when i think about it it sounds like a lot of work but i don know...

now revision!! \\o/

I, like Drey, am also too lazy to add everyone to my list...  :P

I tend to keep only people I actually talk to in my list, so it would be nice to be notified when a guildmember shows up.  It would be a nice substitue for smacking the guild button every ten minutes...

You don\'t talk to your own guildmembers? :P

On a more serious note, I too think that a message announcing guildmembers would be nice.

Some guilds are gigantic.  (Dragon Council anyone...?)  Mine\'s fairly small, but half the people in it are never on when I am...

On a side note, the guild list gives rough locations.  It might be nice to see this in the buddy list and notifications as well.

Locations..? No, I don\'t think so. To me that\'s a bit too much info up for grabs, for random strangers. \"Want to know where someone is? Add them to your buddy list!\" With guilds it works because you\'re supposed to be in a trusted group environment, and guild leaders (or other members) can plan things around each others\' locations.

So I\'m highly against that suggestion, DaveG.

I keep anyone, friend or foe, in the buddy lists... so location would be put out the door.
But simply for guildmembers, I think this would be a great idea as I don\'t always add all guildmembers to my buddy list...
Hmm... Next time I\'m back in the realm, I\'m going to have to update that list...

Yeah, universal tracking might have it\'s drawbacks...  :rolleyes:

Oh well, back to the drawing board on that one.   :P

Im sure I already saw such request... but the problem is that there is no good title so... search for \"guild\", \"join\" or \"message\" wont be usefull...

Im in favour of a message which warn you that a member arrived in the game... off course...  because it looks so obvious!

Yeah, and there could be an option for people. With a list, where you could add peoples names, who you wanted to see your location on their buddy list. So you only allow certain people. Yeah I realize thats alot of work...

Or you could have something in the options that reads: \"Would you like to reveal your location to players on your buddy list?\" with a checkbox, or something similar. Hm.

Karyuu, it could actually say \'do you want eighteen fanboys chasing you down to akkaio because you showed your cute picture in the forum?\'
:p

lucky for me i can find you and chase you neways :3

Personally i p[robably wouldnt take notice of a Guild member notification message, i automatically click on the guild button anyway, see whos on, do a /who to make sure everyone is suitable, and i skip down the road to find my friends, a major part of the fun is the hunt ;)
