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.

.

Great suggestion.

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.

Would be nice to have day of week when creating event, rather than just time :-P Looks like I forgot to put it in the image!
