Why No Green Guild Discussion!?
 

This has been bothering me a while, so I figured I'd ask.

Within the "Blue Community" there is a "Blue Guild Discussion."

Within the "Red Community" there is a "Red Guild Discussion."

And yet, despite the fact that Green is the largest community with the greatest number of players by far (usually over 30x more than Red), there is no "Green Guild Discussion."

Why is this?

The staff has never addressed this, or at least not that I've seen. I'm not on the staff, so I don't know ... but I have a theory: they realized that guild forums are a bad idea because of their experience with Blue/Red.

In the guild forums every guild has to constantly respond to their post, to try and "push it to the top" ... filling them with garbage posts. But then to make matters worse, the one important part of each thread (the part that list's the guild leadership, what classes they're recruiting for, etc.) would be in the very first post of the thread ... and that post couldn't be edited after the fact.

So in practice guild threads were just outdated information in post #1, followed by endless screenshots and pats on the back about how great the guild was. Maybe on page #10 the guild might post some updated details ... but no one would ever see them, because the need to push the thread to the top would soon add pages #11, #12, etc.

On top of all that, some people in raid guilds are assholes, and would post asshole stuff in other guild's threads. This meant more staff time spent dealing with those assholes.

The wiki solves all that. http://wiki.project1999.com/Green_Guilds tells you every guild on the server, with perfectly up-to-date information (or at least as up-to-date as each guild is willing to keep it), in a nice, consistent, and organized format. Furthermore, that page can link to the guild's wiki and or web page, which typically is where you really want to go to learn more about the guild.

So again, no staff member has ever said this (that I've seen) ... but it seems to me the guild forums were just a worse way to tell people about guilds.

Thats what the RnF are for....

Galach has said before that he had put in a request like 1-2 months ago now. But nothing has been said since

Please don't use the red server in a negative context just because you don't play there.

Thank you.

Why no green RnF section? 😭

plx gib green and teal guild discussion. thx

Thanks Lor, didn't know about that wiki.

And don't be so sensitive Swish :D

I wasn't being negative, simply pointing out a quantitative difference.

There have been a dozen threads about this.

The powers in charge hate Green guilds. Stop posting any more.
