Hey DM that really does sound like a good idea. :) Always nice to be able to look up data on some name you heard, be it from the auction house, or chat or whatever. Even if they're not online, some (potentially stale) data is probably good enough for your purposes.

I found that if you don't use the qualifiers like g- c- z-, then the text you give will be matched against ALL available fields. For example, if you type /who Bleak, you get not only guild members of bleak, but also anyone with the word Bleak in his or her name. By contrast, /who g-"Bleak" only retu...

Alternative Implementation

If somehow sampling and logging guild populations at the time a census is taken and integrating that data with the database proves impractical, it may be enough to simply look at the number of guild members who have been seen in the last week (or some other short timespan). This might not be the ide...

Other applications

I'd like to also point out for sake of discussion that even when you're not talking about endgame, an active guild is usually preferable to an inactive one. Having more players online in general means more active social chat, easier grouping, and faster answers to simple questions. In the case of so...

Do you feel that guild activity level (average # of players online) is an important factor in choosing a guild to join? I voted no. The reason for that is, and "active" guild full of level 1-10 characters holds no appeal to me. Character level matters, imo - unless the server is new and you're all ...

I was concerned about that as well, my guild recently topped 500, and so we put a ceiling on recruitment because we use the guild roster a great deal, and it's a real bummer to not be able to see everyone in the 'show offline members' view when you really need to. Let us know if you fix it up! Maybe...

/who optional parameters??

I've noticed that CensusPlus uses all sorts of nifty extra optional parameters to refine the results it gets from /who, like c-, r-, ##-##, et cetera. Is there a place where I can find a listing of all the optional parameters for /who? I tried Googling... but to little avail. I'm very curious. :)

Guild Activity Graph, Guild Rank by Activity/Population

As a serious guildmaster, I am of course very concerned with how my guild performs relative to other guilds. Although I acknowledge that rank by EXP is a very useful tool, I would like to suggest that other attributes of a guild are equally important, especially to guilds that don't focus on level a...
