What
A Guild Events tab on the Guild window where members can schedule events.
. Why
To facilitate guild socialization / playing together.
. How
We would need at least:
Event name
Event date and time (server time)
Name of the person who scheduled the event
. Seeing events (see attachment)
Placing your mouse cursor over the date will show it in Local time.
. Creating events (see attachment)
Type
Dungeon (sorted by level)
Ascalonian Catacombs (story mode)
Ascalonian Catacombs (explorable mode)
Etc.
Explorable area (if someone is questing in the area and they want company)
Sorted per general area (first all human sorted by level, then all charr sorted by level, and so on)
WvW
PvP tournament
“Show local time” option when creating event, if possible (see attachment)
. Special considerations (could be added at a later build, or not at all)
It would be great to have a “Notify me” checkbox for an event you sign up (maybe next to the event name), which would give you a game message (pale green letters like when you take a screenshot) saying “Guild Event Name [Guild Tag] starting in 10 minutes.”
Same as above but, “Player Name [Guild Tag] has scheduled a new event.”
Show number of people who signed up for the event (0/5 party size format) as an extra column in the list of events.
Add “Create guild event” and “Sign up for guild event” to member permissions (maybe leaders only want officers to be able to schedule events).
* If server resources don’t allow unlimited events, you can limit 5 or 10 listed events per guild at a given time.

Player suggestions:
By Krisco.4093: “Show local time” checkbox in the event list.
I’d probably put another “Show Local Time” checkbox in the Event list rather than having to hover over the individual times and instead of PST/EST use the GMT +/- offset for more flexibility.
