Why can't Guild Leaders send mass in-game mail to guild members?

[wancow]

It seems like a no-brainer that Guild Leaders should be able to send an in-game mail to all the guild members... as it stands now, there's no way to do that... yes, I know it may be thought of as redundant with the Guild Message of the Day, but there's no way to flash to members that there's a new one, whereas with mail, you are notified there is new mail with an icon... just a thought...

Actually not a bad suggestion, now that you mention it...

Using a guild-bot mitigates this problem.

yeah, because they are ingame feature and every single guild got them.. oh wait

Well even a shimpanza (me) can set up bebot so its really no biggie. Plus you can always use "message of the day" which is an ingame feature...

While it's not an ingame feature, it is NOT hard to set one up. It's a bit more tricky on Linux than on Windows (few good guides for it on Linux), but it's done in less than an hour.

I seen guilds in the past who use Skype... sometimes people does very strange things.

I have several times sent mass mails to our guild members, got them all registered on our webpage with mail addy and all ;-) whats the problem?

of course, but you still need a dedicated server (or your machine running 24/7) to run the bot.. again, I´m not saying bot is something baaad or rocket science, I´m just telling you it´s still a workaround for features, that could be easily in game (all the alt list, crafting list etc. etc.)

Would be a good feature for guildleaders, and I can add a few more.

• Guild history, why can't guildleaders see who left or joined their guild when they come back online?
• Why are guild invite and kick rights tied together? Obviously you'd like to be able to give invite rights but limit kick rights.
• Why is access to the guild storage also equals access to guild funds?
• Alt sorting of guildlist with possible storable notes to each entry.
