The easiest way to fail is to not even try. If you do not ask for something, how will anyone know you want it?

FCs need;

• In-game bulletin board,
• In-game calendar (as per this topic),
• Moggle messaging FC members

Well in game calendars are in almost every other mmo, so there is no reason SE couldn't do it. Makes it way easier for guild leaders to plan events. People can check the calendar sign up for events, invite people to events, when it is in game the game can tell you that you invites to events or notify you when an event is about to start.

Instead of them programming it on the loadstone it should been programmed in game for much easier, ease of use.

Indeed, and PS3/PS4 players are massively unlikely to visit the loadstone, adding it in-game levels the playing field.

I'd love it if they could simply link the two.

You don't have a smart phone or a computer?

I do, many do not, or simply find it cumbersome.

I've wondered that before, about the entire FC lodestone page. An embedded microbrowser that you access in-game, that simply presents the FC page, forum, etc would fix this 100%. It could easily be a special desk or other furniture item in the FC house or some similar method specific to your FC. It can't be that hard to create a themed microbrowser tragetted at handling the lidestone.

Not everyone has those resources, not everyone wants secondary devices to play a game.

I'd love it too.

While you are at it, SE, please implement a to-do feature, so that anyone can share his needs about gathering / crafting and get them done by anyone available.

I've tried to use The Lodestone calendar for FC events before. It's just never worth the trouble.

No one checks the Lodestone calendar on their own. Most players don't know it exists, and it's not terribly user-friendly when they do find it. You have to advertise in-game to get anyone to check it, and at that point it's already defunct.

We have the company board, but that's already half-eaten by our Teamspeak info, so there's little room for anything but the most bare-bones description. Also, only allows one message of any real length. Sorry to anyone else that wanted to plan anything.

I'm in a fairly large FC, and we still just use word-of-mouth. We need an in-game FC calendar.
