In game calender / event planner for ARR

[PinkamenaDiane]

With all the info for ARR I have yet to see any kind of in game calender/event planner feature. Most current gen MMOs have some type of in game calender that players can use to plan in game events. I played MMOs that have this and it makes organizing raids a breeze.

With a ingame calender you could:

-Create events, invite people to a raid on a day and time, allow them to accept or decline. If you invite the same group of people a lot have copy, and paste features to quickly make new raid events. Meet someone had a good time with them you could easily add them to an later event you are doing. Very helpful for organizing a raid and seeing who can make it and who can't.

-Create linkshell/free company events with a sign up feature. A leader or officer can create events for people in their linkshell to sign up for on the calender.

-Show when lock outs to certain raids will expire.

-Devs can post stuff on the calender like when special in game events occur like holiday events, GC appreation or what have you.

-Lodestone / cell phone app, Intergration. If someone is not currently in the game they could log in the lodestone click a events tab to see if their LS is planning any events or if anyone else in the game has invited them to a raid or event or sent them a message. When they respond on the website or through the app it is reflected in real time on the in game calender.

This is something i can agree on as well... In-Game calender :P with Timezone function pls?

Could have sworn someone suggested this already somewhere, but possibly not!~

I always wanted SE to implement some sort of Calendar function, and while in a Free Company, the members with access to such priveleges could add events to the FC's own Calendar and it would reflect on your own as well. Would also be helpful for telling you how long an event is going for (seasonal or otherwise). I'm sure there's plenty of other reasons I haven't thought of, but hopefully if we can find enough reasons for SE to do such a thing, we'll see it added eventually!

An in game calendar would be a great option. I am all for this idea.

I like to have calendar built into game because I recall from a previous game I used to play that guild members would more likely sign up to events using the build in calendar rather than going to guild website to sign up.

I think this would be a really great feature, if not in-game then definitely be a part of the Lodestone.

its pretty much what could be done with my idea too:
