Wouldnt it be nice to have a nice guild description pane in the guild interface to be able
to post maybe a background about the guild, a schedule, voice comms info and maybe a link to the forum? as an officer who has to manage the guild MotD i can tell you that it is annoying and very time consuming to get information inside that tiny little box that can barely hold more characters than a tweet. Right now i have to cut down everything i put in there to the most crucial information, and even then it doesnt fit because we’re an active guild, we do daily WvW runs and other PvE events. We also have to manage the terrible formatting in the MotD because if u make a mistake you can’t just edit what you write (that would be too convenient), rather the entire message is deleted and you have to write things 3-4 times just to be able to get the formatting right, and not have the end line or two disappear.
I don’t want people coming here telling me to go build a guild forum, we already have that, the point of this is to be able to get information across to our players in game rather than have them alt tab out to get that information. You’d also think a feature like this would be very obvious, since guilds are players trying to organize, and it’s hard to do that without being able to communicate efficiently.
This isnt a new innovation in guild interfaces, there have been countless mmos that
managed to get this right, i would expect Guild Wars 2 the next gen mmo to have that.
and please Anet, don’t delete my post for being “frivolous”, i paid good money to play this game and i do love it, that’s why i have such high expectations for it and why i want to see it develop even further and be the best MMO for the coming decade or two.

Readers Digest version:
Need a 1000 or more character text pane in guild interface to be able to put in the following info:
*Voice comms info
*guild schedule
*rules of the guild & chat
*rank explanation
*guild forum link
*etc.
