New Guild/Social Features

[Willowdreamer]

I logged into Test Realm, and the first thing I see is a big pop up notice asking if I wanted to add my Guild to the Social Kiosk to help find new members. I said no, and the notice went away, but I see I can change my mind any time:

Adding the Guild to the Kiosk brings up the option to have a "Main Purpose" for the Guild, which gives a choice menu like the Guild Message Menu - Hanging Out, Questing, Dungeon, Beastmoon, PVP, Derby, Pets, Housing - it doesn't look like it matters unless we join the Social Kiosk, so I'm skipping that.

The Member Roster has been expanded to show the number of Accounts as well as Members from the same account. One icon I don't know how to use yet is the "Promote Provisional members to full members." We don't have any provisional members, so what it does we shall have to see.

Without another Guild member online, I can't really test the Chat Channel, but it's there:

Time to read some update notes but yeah just from reading what you said, lot's of testing!

One thing I've noticed is that now our Guild affiliation appears beneath our name. When playing on my wizard Brian WaterSpear, the fact that they are in a Guild (and the Guild's name) appears directly beneath my Badge title. It seems this can be viewed by other players; I saw other players who had their Guild name shown as well. I'm not sure if this option can be disabled.

Just an interesting tidbit that I thought would be worth pointing out.

In the patch notes it says you can disable displaying your guild if you want

Using my Level 111 Death Wizard, I went to the Social Kiosk. There are zero Guilds listed at this time, but I got this helpful description:

Then it switched to this information for Guild Leaders:

Using my max Life Wizard, I've added the Intrepid Grey Wizards Guild to the Kiosk for Testing. Then, I saw this:

Weird, seeing as she is already in the Guild.
However, switching back to my Death Wizard, this Wizard cannot see the Guild in the Kiosk. My other accounts cannot access the Test Realm, so if there is someone else in Test Realm right now, can you check to see what a Provisional Member of the Guild gets to do?

Thanks!

This is the new requirement to unlock the Guild Manor - 50 members from 50 ACCOUNTS:

And for the Guild Conservatory - 24 Members from 24 ACCOUNTS:

Smaller Guilds are clearly not the target audience here.
