Hey there!

Since it will take you some more months to improve the guild system in GW2 further, I’d like to suggest a small but effective improvement to the formatting of the “Message of the Day” feature in the guild dialog (thank you for the new edit function, this was very helpful!) by changing the font to a mono-space (aka fixed width) font.

We have a guild homepage and a calendar on it, but we also like to give our members and guests a fast overview about our guild’s schedule and events in-game. I recently changed the format to sth. like

Mon - 19:00 guild raid
    - 22:00 music hour
Tue - 19:30 roaming time
Thu - 20:00 guild missions
    - 23:00 night raid
Fri - 19:30 reset preparations
    - ~20:00 weekly reset
Note how great and well aligned this looks in a proportional font, specially the creative indentation… cough
Rendering the text in a mono-space font would make formatting a table-like structure very easy without worsening the readability of the MotD, since the text box is rather small (and would look much better in a fixed-width font), anyways.

Another possibility to help us out here, would be an in-game scheduler with proper formatting and some kind of notification mechanism, maybe…?
