Was this not added to the game? I thought we would be able to create guild ranks.

Disabled because there were some problems with it. Guild A changes rank officer to picklemerchant Guild B officer's would been changed to picklemerchant too. :) They are probably figuring a way to fix it.

Can we get a Dev response about it, would be nice to know if there is a fix coming, why have the tags over our heads then. Members, Officers and Leader will look pretty silly after a while. Plus can guilds please get a bone, we have no housing, nothing has changed about guilds in nearly 3 years.

Oh yeah we got recruitment sigils, something so basic in logic that Ultima Online had them 5 years ago. That's really not enough though, guilds make up most of where you find the most active players, please help us out.

Anyone from the DDO team please give us an update on this. Answering small questions like this will go far in regaining trust from players, a little feedback goes a long way.

The were removed for the EU release because they were broken (as noted in the thread). There is a fix that is currently in testing for for a future release.

Nice. I'm just laughing because of how simple this probably is.

Assuming it's SQL, for example...basic field updating takes the form of:

UPDATE tableName
SET fieldname=futureValue

However, what they should have done was:

UPDATE tableName
SET fieldname=futureValue
WHERE keyGuildIndexField=guildValue

Please keep in mind this is an incredibly simplified way of explaining it and it's entirely possible they're using a non-SQL based data storage approach although that doesn't really alter where the logic failure occurred.
