Hi folks,

I see no reason we can't do this for you guys in a future update, I do however like the idea of having a something (a small icon or image) that will show who the current Guild Founder is.

What about a way to mark other officers too?

I like the idea.

Yes! Perhaps a few boxes of different colors that would allow us to fill in the text or some such thing.

OTOH, a pretty good argument can be made for NOT disclosing who the Guild Founder is, unless the founder chooses to identify his or her self. Who'se business is it, outside a guild, who the Founder is ? If a guild wants to have recruiters and other "ambassadors" they can put the designation in the rank. Letting everyone know who the founder is just subjects that person to hacking attempts (since Founders have all permissions) and other annoyances.

So if the Founder is allowed to choose a different name for his Rank, there should be no restrictions and no tags. Even the Founder's position on the guild membership list should be up to the Founder -- let him hide down at the bottom with a rank of "Ancient and Much Reviled Dogsbody" is he or she wants to!


Why, whenever someone has a conflict with another member in a guild or needs to discuss topics only to be discussed with the true guild founder it is much easier to do so when the founder stands out. If you hide who he or she is then the rest of the guild will get annoyed with messages saying "who is your founder blah blah blah I need to speak to your founder about blah blah blah and only your founder"

Actually sounds like a good idea, some guilds like to keep there ranks in order by experience, and some times the guild founder doesn't have the most, so he can get in line with everyone else while still being founder.

Then let's see all guild members listed in a circle so no one player is at the top of the list.

Personal ranks are fine for founders as well as being able to identify officers by small icons.

Make it a new upgrade so the devs profit slightly.

We need some new upgrades.

Not sure about the circle idea, that would look funny :P but a structure to have officer marks is a good gold sink.

Change guild founder name should be free though.

IMHO, I can see no earthly reason why this shouldn't be allowed.
Ok, there may be a lot more important issues that need seeing to first, but on the other hand, enabling this suggestion, isn't exactly brain surgery or rocket science, or at least, I wouldn't have thought so.
As to the narcissistic comment, come on, the lass was only asking a question.

100% agree that a guild founder should be able to name his own rank.

I think there are bigger issues to work on. Fixing other areas of the game will take precedence.

We're hoping to include the option of changing the 'Guild Founder' rank name in an update next week :)

And the ability to flag a guild member as an "officer"?

The game will assign a 'gold' star/marker to the founder and you will also be able to assign 'silver' stars/markers to other members (for example co-founders etc.)

This will clearly show other players (and guild members) who are the founders/co-founders, even if the 'Guild Founder' rank is named differently :)
