I got a reply from the lead developer about the idea we had

[Metalic_Noodles]

ooo, you can send 2 mass PMs a month (bi weekly), or pay 10g per member that is sent PMs after that. 3nodding

Pilot-I think tht's how we all feel.

WO, nice, I love the Captain's guild links. heart And the GGN mod link.

But for someone who's just crew, I think that version would loose appeal.
Why would you need a link to the mmeber list where there is one near the mod panel button?
Accually, crew would only see the join requests and the invite members links wouldn't they?
And the forums thing, would make the page loooong for the subforum heavy guilds. (think 50+)
Maybe a link to make a guild PM, and in it's place a box to invite members?
Oh, and could join requests just be notifications, like near PM, but the link always just take you to the join requests page? (yes, adding suggestion for a feature) and if you want the notifications (crew and up can get them) you just use a thing in your profile or guild's mod pannel?

For a captain, I really like that page, but for crew it would be less of a change.

Exactly!

As for the Join request notifications, I love the idea.

I really like what you suggested WO! It's really cool ^^ and I like the ideas of metallic, about having the requests be a notification blaugh It'd make things way easier ^^

I do really like the idea of limiting the amount you get per month. In a way, it kind of helps make it more appealing to the staff behind it (and to Gaia's servers) and it makes it more appealing to members who worry about being spammed. This guild has really come together in trying to push reform blaugh I'm proud of you guys ^^

I think that a serious guild network reform is in the works. There will definetly be a huge increase in guild activity when the MMO comes out. They will need to change things to keep up.

DUH

Admins and devs have been saying that the admins are planning to have the devs rehaul the GGN from the code up, for years. :/

Where have you been?

Most recently it's been mentioned in a few AtAs.

I totally love the idea of a mass Pm for the guilds
it's a pain in the butt to send out one Pm to each person individual...
and I know my guild would only use the mass Pm like once every 2 months or so...
probably only when we throw a big contest or something.

this is something that they should totally do!

and i think the crew should have just as much power with sending the Pm's as do the captains and vice captains...
Me (a V.C.) and the captain are in college and alot of times just leave it to a mod to watch over things, but were also lucky cause our guild takes care of itself and don't cause trouble.

If you think your crew can handle the abilities, why not just promote them to VC, or make a VC mule for the crew to share?

It took me a couple of months to get the Captin to get another VP to fill in with us.... I don't think giving them all VC ranking would go over will, ,also it's cause I worked my a** off for the job, therefor in his eyes i should have that title,
Not saying they don't do alot, cause they do, but a ranking for us means something.
