Communicating with guild members when your guild is a secondary guild (most members don’t rep the guild) is a nightmare at the moment.

Something as simple as the ability of a guild leader to mass mail all members is a sorely lacking feature which could give a basic level of informing members from differing timezones of what is happening and what should be looked out for.

This could of course be done via an external forum, but many guilds exist that are not setup to be the major guild that individuals represent, and if the system allows for such guilds, the features that ensure these guilds can operate at a basic level should be provided.

Currently I have to scroll through each name, and paste a private message to them once I see them online. This isn’t how things are supposed to be for a major league MMO.

I agree with this. This is something that needs to happen. The idea that so many people have personal guilds just to have extra storage makes it hard to get everyone in guild on the same page. And not everyone will use voice communication even it’s available. Others won’t go to the guild website. Guild mail would be solve these problems.

I actually will just go through and send individual mails to everyone. though.. the guild i am in is only 28 members.. only takes 5 minutes or so after typing out my message elsewhere.

I think you’ll find what you said is incorrect.

Max limit for mail is 2 per minute, after that you are prevented from sending mail to people.

As such, doing nothing but staring at the mail screen with an egg timer besides you, it would take 14 minutes to send a mail to everyone in your guild.

The guild I’m currently managing has 287 members, and I don’t think spending over 2 hours of my time for a basic level of communication is a valuable workaround.

having a newsletter / guild wide mail would be nice as everyone doesn’t always read the MOTD.

You could have people spamming mails, so perhaps a 24 hour time limit between mails?
