Also, let's be honest, the function gave every single active guild a reason to compete, including factions, you could always see who had the most faction points and kills and which guilds had the most members, which added in some competition between guilds.. Oh and you could look up their websites, which came in GREAT handy for guilds that did have sites... There is ZERO reason to run your own guild anymore and if it is for RP purposes, good luck, it has become extremely difficult not knowing which guilds are active and which ones are not and not..I can only hope they are working on it. Yes while I realize I have MY guild on my own person available to me... what sucks is when I'm trying to figure out who someone is and if they are in a potentially dangerous guild.... I'm not about to offer someone a war without first knowing who all they have in their guild.
There were hundreds of uses for MYUO including we used to track how well our Squires (Young players) were doing with their skill training by having them allow it to be public so we could track their progress and give them pointers if need be in raising skills.
Now that chore is difficult at best and terribly out of character.
I looked around a bit, and maybe I didn't see it, but do you all have something about guilds looking for specific types of players/specific templates?UOGuilds.com although lacks the function of the old guild search on the site is a guild data base growing in population any guild can be listed by applying for a guild listing. and anyone can look up their shard to see what guilds are on there
it basically gives guilds the chance to share what they are about, their websites and forums locations and how to join
It's a poor substitute and not everyone participates.UOGuilds.com although lacks the function of the old guild search on the site is a guild data base growing in population any guild can be listed by applying for a guild listing. and anyone can look up their shard to see what guilds are on there

No But it might be worth putting it in the application a question like "What type of player would suit your guild?"I looked around a bit, and maybe I didn't see it, but do you all have something about guilds looking for specific types of players/specific templates?
It was never going to be as grand as what they had.. mainly because they had the data bases for all the info.. We get applications for new listings and add them asap. Think of it like a phone book for guilds...It's a poor substitute and not everyone participates.
I'll say this... I have been around a long long time in UO... but even I who typically is on top of most everything in game.... only read 2 forums... my own (those of the GL RPC) and Stratics. And I'll be 100% honest... 75% of the players left in UO don't even read Stratics.... the idea that they might look at some other website for guild information.... sorry to say it's even less likely that they would.It was never going to be as grand as what they had.. mainly because they had the data bases for all the info..

You might be right, but the site is there none the less for the ones who do want to look it up... As I sad we are adding guilds that want to be there and directing people to the site when and if they want to look up a guild. If you choose not to look at it then that is your choice.I'll say this...

it only has minor bits of guild info though, can't even really compare it to myUO who's primary purpose was the info on individual players in the guild, faction standings, etc...You might be right, but the site is there none the less for the ones who do want to look it up...

What I will say on your above reply is perhaps if you tried other places/sources you might find something that interests you on top of what you already have of course you might not.. But it can't hurt
Yes it only has minor info.. because its the info supplied by the guild owner....it only has minor bits of guild info though, can't even really compare it to myUO who's primary purpose was the info on individual players in the guild, faction standings, etc...
I think myUO though is just like every other UO feature players have loved in the past though, they found some minor bug in it and instead of fixing it they dont want to "waste" the money so it's permanantly "shelved" so they can work on "other things"....aka they got rid of it so they don't have to spend money fixing it but don't want players to know that.
He got the new player guide out sooner than expected, he got extra resources for the graphics update, I think he can get more resources for MyUO, but I think the problem is that they have to have somebody in charge of it. Corporate security policies don't normally allow you to setup websites that pull data from other parts of the company (or game in this case) and not have somebody responsible for it.MYUO is a much tougher beast to slay. Security issues is why we had to pull it down. Once we have the new uo.com together I'll be pushing to get some more resources to see what we can due about rolling out MYUO 2.
