Warcraft Guild Management
There are many ways to effectively manage a Guild in World of Warcraft’s Wrath of the Lich King. There are many changes when it comes to Talent Trees, Spells, Abilities, Classes, and more. If you are interested in gearing up a new Guild that will be productive and beneficial to all of the members that you recruit, there are just a few things that you should be aware of. Here, you will learn a few steps and types of information that is important when it comes to effectively manage a Guild in World of Warcraft’s Wrath of the Lich King.
Guild Control Panel
When operating a Guild in Wrath of the Lich King, you should learn as much as you possibly can about the Control Panel. This will allow you to perform many different operations. The following details some of the controls that are listed, as well as the function of these controls:
1. “Guild Control” – This function allows you to view a special pane that allows you to take a look at the members of the Guild, set up the ranks that you want in the Guild, determine the different permissions of the ranks that are involved in the Guild, and several other tasks.
2. “Group Invite” – If you select this option, you can see a whole list of characters that are in your Guild. Then, if you create a “Party”, you can scroll through this list and hit the appropriate button to invite them to join the party that you have established.
3. “Add Member” – With this option, you can click on the button and type in a name of an individual that you would like to add to your Wrath of the Lich King Guild, and invite them. If the player accepts, they will automatically be placed in your Guild.
4. “Promote” – Within each Guild, there are ranks. As a Guild Leader, it is important to understand that the right promotions are a necessary component to the success of your Guild. You can use this option to promote various members to different ranks, but do so with caution. If you promote the wrong person, and give them the wrong permissions, you may quickly find your Guild falling to pieces!
5. “Demote” – Naturally, with this option, you are issued the ability to take a rank away from someone in the Guild. This, too, should be used with caution.
6. “Remove” – When you use this option on an individual in your Guild, you will actually be removing them completely from the Guild that you are the leader of.
7. “Player Notes” – The “Player Notes” option in the Control Panel allows a memo to be added to any and all Guild members. Many Guilds may wish to add notes to alts, stating that they are an alt to another character. In some Guilds, adding a note about the professions of a certain player is acceptable.
8. “Guild Message of the Day” – Here, you can enter in relevant information pertaining to your Guild, or simply a message stating a welcome message to all members. This is a message that can be seen by every single Guild member that signs into the game on the day that it is entered.
9. “Officer’s Notes” – This is a great wait to put secret information on various members of the Guild. Only Officers have permission to see the information that is listed. For example, if you have a player that has been on and off and taking quite a bit of stuff from the Guild Bank, but has not been contributing to the Guild overall, you may want to place an alert on the character by way of the “Officer’s Notes” section.
If you want to have the best Guild there is with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, it is important that you learn how to manage the Guild through the Guild Control Panel.
