| GuildCafe Rolls Out New Tools for One-of-a-Kind Guild Organization GuildCafe Entertainment has announced new features that allow guild and clan leaders to organize and promote their gaming groups, complete with private forums, event scheduling, roster management and targeted publishing of guild accomplishments to outside media. By integrating with the GuildCafe social network, guild leaders are offered capabilities far beyond existing "guild hosting" and "guild portal" services, with intra-guild communication, publication of news, import of score and profile information, and methods for finding new recruits and appropriate opponents. Using GuildCafe's new features to create a home page for a guild, guild members can tap into private forums, a scheduling system for events or raids, and tools that track the player roster and statistics. These rosters are automatically updated with information such as the level and classes played by their members, equipment, scores and other profile information like competitive Person versus Person data in select games including "World of Warcraft." To reach beyond a guild's home page, guild members can broadcast their achievements through the automatic publishing of brag-worthy events, such as major raids and PvP victories, onto GuildCafe channels ? a medium expressly built to herald guild successes as RSS feeds distributed to websites and other interested parties who want to stay current on guild happenings. Ultimately, this guild-hosting system integrated within the social network of GuildCafe results in the accessibility of important information on guild activities. Guild leaders can then identify and connect with players who are the best match for their guild, and likewise, players are guided to the guilds that are ideally suited to their individual playstyles. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
