2008-07-21 14:20 - Summer holiday...	[0 comments]
The summer is ongoing and this is reflected in the work and use of Guildage. I have not had much time to develope new things but everything is lined up for when the summer is over. A lot of guilds are taking well deserved raid breaks, but I see more is getting back from vacation these days. Happy raiding to all of you ;) Many things are being considered for the future of Guildage. The worst part is - I have too many ideas to realize them all right now. Maybe more developers will be "hired" for the project, but that is to be decided over the next weeks/months. The system is already prepared to be used for more than just WoW but is not 100% ready in all regards for that just yet. I have no intention of making it support all possible games in the world, but the possibilities are many - and I have a lot in mind in that regard, nevertheless :) That was a few words to let you know I'm still alive. Have a pleasent summer! - Ni PS: While getting a new girlfriend sure is nice - it also takes time away from gaming/coding a.t.m. ;)

I just thought I'd share a happy moment with you all :) Last night GEMS got its 2000th user registration and we also passed 100k pageviews/month. Both were bound to happen with the increased usage over the months - but never the less is warms my hearth to see it actually happening ;) Your support means a lot to me, and it will keep me developing the system even further - as planned. Have a nice Sunday :) - Ni
2008-03-19 21:06 - Happy easter...	[0 comments]
Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that lots of work is being put into the DKP system and I hope to have a first draft to show soon. There is a LOT of groundwork to be covered before I can show anything really... but once that base is built the system will take form quickly, and the turnaround time for new features will decrease once again :) A few days of national holiday here, because of easter, will maybe mean more time for development - but there's also a lot of parties that needs my attendance ;) Happy easter to all of you - Ni
2008-02-21 22:58 - Expanding forum categories and forced sign ups	[0 comments]
By popular demand I have now implemented expanding categories in the forum. This means that you can choose to expand a single category to let it show what sub-categories is has beneath it. It should be pretty straight forward - but let me know if you think anything should be changed in this regard. I also implemented "forced sign up" to let officers give certain members raid priority even if they signed up late. This is to circumvent the fact that sometimes class balance is off and needs correction. Some will see this function as a way to "confirm sign up" which is fine by me - call it want you want - use it like you want... it's a free country ;) Ni "broken toe" signing out for the night
2008-02-17 22:10 - GEMS v0.4.2 released	[0 comments]
Time for a site update and a look into the future... The major changes are as following: - Rename character - Auto remote fetching item/loot details if non-existing locally - Front page redesign - New access level for webmasters - News / article system - Votes / Polls per guild and system wide Minor changes: - Linking to Break.com and Google Video... - Comments for news / articles - Timezone offset for RSS feeds Security issues: - Unreported potential exploit in event listing - User applying for a guild should stay private (on IRC) Looking at the future: The last poll pretty much spoke for itself. We will focus on implementing DKP next. Several solutions are already in the works and we're looking forward to show you first drafts as soon as possible. The item database / lookup has also undergone heavy work to be ready for the DKP system. While we do anticipate making all sort of import functionality from the major addons and existing DKP systems, we also feel it's important to make our very own contribution in sense of an updated, feature rich, innovating, and easy to use DKP system. Stay tuned for more information on all of this.

Introduction to GEMS

GEMS is an easy to use online web based Guild Event Management System -or- Guild Event Manager System. Thereof the original name GEMS.

Starting in 2005 everyone I knew used a forum based signup system. It did not take long before I saw the need for a new and improved system. And so GEMS was born. Read the full story here.

The plan is to make "everything" a guild would ever need for:

planning events / raids easily for signup
easy management of all guild relations in one system
present a nice and simple public appearance on the web
keep track of DKP (Dragon Kill Points)
socialize in a free forum
share progress tracking server and world wide
managing professions (tradeskills), items, bag and bank content, and so forth

See the full todo list here

When you have created an account, you can create as many characters as you want/need to.

Managers can create and change events for members to sign up to and much more.
