Warhammer Online: Guild Interface

Warhammer Online features a nifty guild interface that receives some developer love and player information in this week's article. See how the GI can help you and your guild below:

Guild Interface

This week we'll explore the nuances of the Guild Interface, which is your tool for managing your guild and keeping in touch with fellow guildies. Our Guild Interface is really comprehensive and user-friendly, containing all the tools you need as a guild leader, guild member, or alliance member. The guild interface contains six different windows: Profile, Calendar, Roster, Standard, Rewards, and Admin.

Profile Tab

The profile tab contains the guild summary, the guild description, message of the day, guild website, guild email, statistics, and news. In addition, guild members can set up a guild profile to tell other players about the guild and leave notes within the guild interface.

Calendar

The Calendar is a guild reward that is granted once the guild reaches the appropriate guild level. With this tab, the guild can view, set up, and manage guild events. The Calendar can be viewed by month, date, and year, and summaries and details can be added to each event. Additionally, there is a sign-up list which allows guild members to sign up for specific events, and provides an option to allow guild members with the appropriate permissions to Accept and Decline sign ups.

Roster

The Roster provides a listing of all of the guild's members. From this window, each guild member can view the each guild member's name, rank, career, title within the guild, and Status (when the member last logged in or where they are currently located inside the game). The Roster tab also includes a note function that allows members to set notes for public display, and officer notes that allows guild members with the appropriate permission to set and view an additional set of notes. From the Roster Tab, players can also access the Alliance window.

Alliance

Alliance access is a reward that is unlocked through guild rank. Alliances are formed when a leader from one guild invites a leader of another guild to form an Alliance from within the Alliance window. Alliances can contain up to 10 guilds, with each Guild Leader being an Alliance leader, and the Alliance can have up to 50 Alliance Officers (5 per guild). The Alliance Roster displays the Alliance name, each Guild in the Alliance, Leave, Invite/Remove options, and Promote/Demote options.

Standard

The Standard window is where the Guild's standard is displayed. Standards are granted as a guild reward and are two handed items that are usable by Standard Bearer's on the battlefield to grant bonuses to the party (more on Standards below under Guild Standards). From this tab, Guild's can view their Standard, Edit their Heraldry, set the Standard post, and modify Tactics for the Standard. The Heraldry Editor is accessed from this window,

The Edit Heraldry display allows guilds to choose a unique Heraldry configuration that is displayed on their Guild Standard. Heraldry reservation costs a fee and is granted as a guild reward, though the display of the Heraldry on the Standard is unlocked gradually through the guild rank progression. Heraldry customization options include a shape, base color, pattern, pattern color, emblem, and emblem color (there are 1-10 color variations per emblem).

Rewards

The Reward tab lists each reward the guild can receives at each rank, and mouse-over information detailing each reward type. Members with the appropriate permission can also access the tactic purchase window from this tab (more on tactics below under Guild Tactics).

Admin

The Admin window is the tab where Leaders and members with the appropriate permissions can set access to certain guild privileges such as enabling and editing guild titles, promotion/demotion guild/Alliance chat privileges, and calendar management privileges, etc.
