I’d like to have a single, easily accessible source of information that lists the following information for each server:
• Guild Faction
• Guild Name
• Date and Time for any regularly scheduled activities
• Character Names of 2-3 contact persons for those interested in more information
I’m picturing each interested guild submitting a quick blurb to a thread, either continuously updating the first post (which would make for a VERY long first post, even with shorthand) or attaching an Excel file, maybe with each tab as a day of the week. Here’s a snippet of what I’d see if it were in Excel:
Faction Category Date Time Event Guild Contacts
Empire PvE 5/28/2014 8:00PM Eastern 16M SM DF Guild Name Here Contact 1
Contact 2
Contact 3
8:30PM Eastern 16M SM TC Guild Name Here Contact 1
Contact 2
Contact 3
9:30PM Eastern 8M HM DP Guild Name Here Contact 1

10:00PM Eastern 16M SM SnV Guild Name Here Contact 1

10:00PM Eastern 8M HM DP Guild Name Here Contact 1
Contact 2
Contact 3
10:00PM Eastern 8M NIM DF Guild Name Here Contact 1
Contact 2
Contact 3
(Forgive the formatting issues, but you get the idea.)
This concept would help several categories of people:
• Unguilded individuals looking for group opportunities
• Guilded individuals looking to supplement their existing content with cross-guild pugging
• Guilded groups looking to either recruit or advertise available slots in group content
Ideally, this could all be within each server page on the official forums. Unfortunately, since I’m not a subscriber, I don’t have access to post there, otherwise I’d have already started it myself. While I can ask one of my guildies with a subscription to post it, I also wanted to gauge interest here, both to the general concept of the idea, and to see how many different servers would consider using it.
Thoughts?
