Guild Wars 2

I’m willing to bet that pretty much any serious Guild would agree that getting members of the guild to participate on the external guild forums is like pulling teeth. Shoot, just the idea of having to register and apply on a internet forum is likely preventing a lot of people from bothering with guilds at all. Solution?

In game, guild-specific forums, browse-able from the game client OR a regular browser (but at least it should be a part of the game UI).

This forum should be integrated with the guild, allowing for permissions, poll’s, a calendar, a standardized membership application, and several open boards that can be set up by the guild leadership for different topics.

Let’s make it easier for people in-game to participate on guild forums!

I think some just don’t care to go to forums while others are opiniated and will visit often.

That could actually be a pretty useful way of encouraging people to apply. Most people I talk to hate to look for guilds because you have to register, maybe even wait for a confirmation email, then finally fill out the form. And all to potentially join a guild. And it would be great to have an in-game calendar to organize events.

Right now Overwolf is a UI app that allows you to view websites and has neat apps to it. If you have a guild website it’s easy enough to have players simply use the UI and chat, post to forums, and do much more all in game with the overlay.
