Guild history feature idea

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 2:50 pm

An idea I brought up last month in the suggestions area was the ability to see a complete guild history showing not only current members but past members as well as their current guild.

This would be highly useful for GMs who need to keep track of their former members.

I think Rolli posted and said it was on the TODO list.

Do other people think this is a good feature idea?

I personally don't see the purpose of it, maybe to gloat one day and say "we had Hybuir here when he was just leveling up" but that's about it. If everyone can see your past guild members then it might work against a guild because you see 200-300 people that were past members and it would make you start wondering if the guild is actually stable.

Does anyone have any other purposes for this aspect of the guild list?

If you're interested in current trends vs past trends it might be helpful.

It could be helpful to see if a large number of people left the guild at the same time (ie. leadership change, huge fight causing split) or joined at the same time.

It could be helpful to see what kind of turnover the guild has. Do they help people get to 60 and then lose them to a bigger level 60 only guild?

There are several reasons I would want it:

A) be able to locate old members by guild when they are offline
B) see where our members are going
C) simply know who our old members are
D) do statistics to see attrition and recruitment
