Visit the Norrath Guild Recruitment Fair In-Game!

"The in-game festivities are scheduled Saturday, June 28 through Sunday, June 29; however, you can get ready for the event by visiting our Guild Listing page to learn more about the participating guilds."

I checked perma and didnt see our guild listed

Even though we're not listed that doesn't exclude us from participating. |;>

They've also done some work on the Guild Recruiting Tool window in game... and rushed it through in time for this weekend.



"Thursday morning we plan on hot-fixing a new feature. This isn't something we normally do mid-GU cycle, but we wanted to make some changes to the guild recruiting window in time for the Guild Recruiting Faire happening this weekend.

The recruiting window will still perform a default search when it is opened. However, we've changed the metrics to hopefully provide better results. Guilds that have players within 10 levels of your character will be weighted higher than before. Also, recruiters are no longer required to be online for your guild to show up. While this might not provide instant gratification to those that are seeking to speak with a guild at that moment, they will at least see a wider variety of guilds and can perhaps contact one of the recruiters at a later time.

In addition we've added a filter window that will allow you to customize your search a bit more. The filter window will let you specify the playstyle, up to 2 descriptive tags and more.

We've also added a new field to the recruiting tab on the guild window... minimum level. The default search will show guilds that are recruiting up to 10 levels higher than your character. The advanced filter will let you specify any minimum level, or none at all.

Also, guilds will no longer show up in a search if none of the archetype checkboxes are checked.

These changes were done on relatively short notice and unfortunately we've found at least one bug that slipped through. We are planning on hotfixing this bug on Friday. (Something else we rarely do)

Hopefully everyone will find this new recruiting window to be much more user friendly.

Rothgar's Post in The Guild Recruiting Window Demystified.

There are some slight bugs they're s'posed to fix before the weekend. I haven't had a chance to get in and try the changes out yet [blasted spring/early summer thunderstorms] but I hope to today.
