Olympus Guild

By the King's Command

The King asked for better recruiting tools. Here they are. The game lets each player send about 10 guild invites a minute, but together we are thousands: with 4,000 of us online, that is 40,000 invites a minute. Only the addon and this community make that possible. Passing requests between members is still experimental, so tell us what breaks. Most of you now see the full census numbers. Not everything made it in time: more comes in the next update, as soon as tomorrow.

• Recruiting. If you can invite to your guild, the top of the Census shows your open spots and three switches: answer JOIN requests, post recruiting ads and find unguilded players (also in Church > Invites). Anyone can whisper you JOIN, even without Olympus. A window shows the /ginvite command: press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V in the chat that opens, then Enter. The game does not let addons send guild invites, so that step stays yours. The game takes about 10 invites a minute: past that, or when you pass one on, a request goes to another member who accepts handoffs and can invite (Experimental).
• Church > Invites is now the Church's first page. Public announcements name your guild and post with one click or Enter. A reminder can open one every 2 to 30 minutes, taking your public channels in turn; each channel keeps its own wait after a post. Scan unguilded players runs a quiet /who when you turn it on, and Search more finds others; it also lists players without a guild that you target, mouse over or see on nameplates. Their window is the same invite window, with Whisper them first. Guild masters can ask the Apostles for recruiting help for 24 hours.
• Without a guild, the Join Olympus page opens at your first login. Request to join asks an online member for an invite. If none arrives within 45 seconds, you can ask another member, and a reminder can prompt you.
• PvP, RP and RP-PvP totals counted by the author's characters now stay until a newer count arrives, instead of vanishing after two days. The Census shows its connection, relays answer census requests sooner, and /oly recent shows recent diagnostics.
• In the Olympus chat window, guild chat gives each speaker a colour of their own. Layer hop can ask helpers in sister guilds when no guildmate answers.
• The Watch can resend a guild approval, check a guild's current guild master, hide guilds and copy names.

To everyone who sent ideas, bug reports and fixes: thank you. Special thanks to Thunder Konig, Fern Melder and Heuto Jerrico.
