scarr Report post Posted November 18, 2006 any reason why it only show up 30 guilds on guild list? i like to see other guilds, so i can look up the sites and btw, says top 30 guild lists lol, since when is a guild with 200 members concidered to be a top guild, doesnt make much sense to me to be honest, some guilds are pretty newbish, and accept al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyReni Report post Posted November 19, 2006 2 of the guilds listed are bot's guilds (shouldn't belong to the list at all in my opinion) Number of players in the guild doesn't mean anything indeed. There are guilds that #remove inactive players to show how many active members they have. Some examples: one of the guilds I used to be in (TC), split to OldCrusaders (with unactive members) and (TC) with active members not to give false information about number of active members to potential recruits. =hc= removes inactive players every few months Not listing all guilds gives the listed ones unfair advantage if it is viewed by potential recruits. Not to mention this list was the only place to see who are the guild masters of the guilds. New cathegory 'short names' is very useful . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vytukas Report post Posted November 19, 2006 I agree with the posts above, some guilds are smaller, some are bigger, but all deserve being mentioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted November 19, 2006 The reason for that is that the guilds list was way too big and taking bandwidth and stuff. Maybe I will make it up to 50 guilds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted November 19, 2006 The reason for that is that the guilds list was way too big and taking bandwidth and stuff.Maybe I will make it up to 50 guilds. you still list those with a lot of inactive newbie members before those with a few high level people... what if you display a lot less info per guild, with a link to a page with more info about the selected guild? that should drop bandwidth a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, it would be too complicated to make a top of the most active guilds. I mean, what is an active guild anywya? One with the most members logging in? If so, that can be defeated by making a few 'mules' and logging on and off with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maximos Report post Posted November 19, 2006 perhaps guilds with most people in a top 200? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjersey Report post Posted November 19, 2006 perhaps guilds with most people in a top 200? From when do people have to level their skill in this game? You can still play the game without leveling any skills Or am i wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can still play the game without leveling any skills Or am i wrong? to become on top of guild list(instead of putting guilds with most members on there).. read the posts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted November 19, 2006 having 200 members in your guild that played for 2 days and never relogged does not make it #1, jamesjersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted November 19, 2006 I think that a short description is needed as well.That's what the url would do. This is how people know what guilds are ingame, and who the leader is to contact them. Not everybody is only interested in a big guild. I think it would much more practical and helpful to have less information about each guild and all guilds listed. Besides, current descriptions are only as accurate as the guild leaders choose to make them...it should NEVER replace getting to know them face to face and deciding for yourself. And this can't happen if players have no place to find out what guilds exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyReni Report post Posted November 19, 2006 I think the list should be 'just a list', all guilds in alphabetical order maybe. Size, quality, top players, etc shouldn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted November 19, 2006 make it the way scarr suggested imo, with guild name, tag, GM, url, # of members in a row. And don't need to make the url a link, this would not take very much bandwith I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarr Report post Posted November 19, 2006 a link like ''click'' , would work ye ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted November 19, 2006 I suggest the sorting by alphabetical by tag. since that's what people are most likely to have seen. I dunno if the GM is needed, that and anything else can come from the guild forums/whatever... then you know the correct person to talk to for recruiting, diplomacy, etc, instead of a bot or mostly inactive GM not having a short description means they have to go further to find it out, so less browsing, but it would cut down on bandwidth a fair bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarld Report post Posted November 20, 2006 The reason for that is that the guilds list was way too big and taking bandwidth and stuff. Maybe I will make it up to 50 guilds. What about splitting the full list in several pages (with navigation links)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Form_ Report post Posted November 20, 2006 I usually get the URL to our guildforum from the Playes Guilds list when i am not home, but i couldnt today, the we're not on the list anymore..... Poor forums remain unattended today.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desdamona Report post Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) alphabetical order would be the best solution Form Edited November 20, 2006 by desdamona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tico Report post Posted November 20, 2006 I think it can be listed by the amount of members in guild, even being with not active players. but, like we have in top players, more then only top 30 guilds... lika a top 50, top 100, top 200... i dont think that more then 200 guilds will be necessary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockfall Report post Posted November 21, 2006 I really like the way Scarr suggested it, and since the guild tags are there, a short description can easily be found in game!! I suggest the sorting by alphabetical by tag. since that's what people are most likely to have seen. I dunno if the GM is needed, that and anything else can come from the guild forums/whatever... then you know the correct person to talk to for recruiting, diplomacy, etc, instead of a bot or mostly inactive GM not having a short description means they have to go further to find it out, so less browsing, but it would cut down on bandwidth a fair bit If you want it sorted alphabetical by tag, maybe it would be better to put sort criteria; eg. Sort by member size, sort alphabetically by: guild tag, guild name, owner name etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
