Q:

Hello dev team,

My guild members were having a discussion in guild chat today about how difficult it is to schedule events that work within everyone’s daily life schedules (work/family/other). We came up with an idea that the developers of Guild Wars 2 may want to incorporate at some future point and shouldn’t cost a lot to add this feature to the game.

We decided it would be easy if the guild (G) panel included a tab that had a calendar with scheduled events that were editable by the guild officers so everyone can see which events are going on and can RSVP to them or sync the guild calendar to their Gmail calendar so they can receive reminders for guild missions and other things. It would also be nice to have a personal calendar for your account that shows all the events for all 5 guilds that you are in (if in max number of guilds).

This would increase participation in the game and keep more players online and solve the issue where many people are saying they are bored with Guild Wars and don’t feel like they can participate effectively because they don’t know when things are and don’t have time to keep track. It can cause people to quit the game and become less involved in the community. This feature alone would add revenue to the game because if it works as intended, more players would be online and therefore may buy from the gem store. I would appreciate a response from one of the developers to confirm that they have seen this and possibly give feedback on what you think.

Thank you.
