Any chance we'll have a guild leader name tab? Not all of us have their board names associated with their ingame character names

You can consider this version 1.0. We'll be looking at ways to improve and advance the guild listing from here on out. So, yes, we'll look into adding ways of altering the name of your guild leader, adding guild tags, integrating ladder position, and possibly more categories for guilds but for now we have it, it works, and we thought we'd let you all play around with it rather than keep tweaking. But we want your feedback and suggestions, of course.

Also, I want to point out that any guild submitted will need to be validated by someone on the staff here before it becomes publicly viewable. I know it's bothersome and, trust me, it's not like we need more work but we want to make sure that guilds listed aren't swallowed up by those out to just cause trouble. It's not a big deal, one of us just has to look things over and click a button. Also, once your guild's been submitted each time you make a change to that information you'll need to have those changes validated before they're put into effect. Just a little security precaution to avoid some grief.

Well, the idea is that once THX can figure it out, you will add your in-game name, profession, and class (maybe) to your forum profile. Your forum profile is also attached to the guild database so that people have a direct way of getting to you. It also helps build the community.

Two things I definately do want to add are guild tags and interlinking between our ladder page and guild database. This interlinking will be ... more than simple ... so ... stay tuned!

As always, extra suggestions are always welcome.

Great success - already over 80 guilds, hopefully 100 by tonight. I think the single biggest guild database now

We've *finally* cracked 100. 115 by my last count. Man, that took over a full day, we're slipping...

The guild database has been updated with more options:
  • PvE, PvP, PvE/PvP [checkbox]
  • Age Requirement [input box - minimum age]
  • Voice Chat [checkbox]
  • Guild Tag

The only part not updated yet is the search page.

With a current count of 440, I hope we can break 500 before Monday

Search page has been updated.

Example of searching for 'Australia' in the requirements - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/guilds/...lia &age_req=

Removed 100 results limit.

Is there a bug with website url's? I just tried to resubmit it twice and it has gotten through twice but still no link.

Phantium - I believe yours was rejected for having a website that has nothing to do with GW.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/guilds/ - 500 guilds.

My site is being remade, so I find this silly.

It only said Permission Denied.

If you have no website right now, put in 'None'

Its trivial to edit it later on.
