Reasons:

1) It would save a lot of "what guild are you in?" questions

2) New players could see how guilds chat and thus be able to make a better decision on if or which they would like to join

3) As most other games do this it might add a little more "hey ok this is a modern game" when new players arrive.

4) cause we can't have Terradons

Write a plugin.

Then we have [CHANNEL][GUILD]Name ? meh.

Easy fix for this grievance . Make it optional via the interface menu.

I would definitely like this as an optional feature. There are times when it would be useful, but a lot of the time it would be clutter that I'd rather not see. What I personally would rather have is the ability to hover my mouse over a name, or right-click it, and get the basic character information that way.

@Mi5: The game doesn't make guild information available to plugins unless you're in the same sector, so you can't just write a quick, simple plugin to do this. It can be done, but it requires either relying on an external tool or server, or setting up an SSL library so that the guild pages can be downloaded from the website. I don't think anybody has gotten SSL working in VO's lua environment yet, but I could be wrong. If they have, then it's not a huge burden to implement this as a plugin, but otherwise it could be a bit of an undertaking.

+1 to We all float, sounds good.
Aslong its not standard and autocomplete wont include [guild] :)

+1 as an optional feature

-1 useless waste of developers time. Its unneeded really just like channel 100, as agreed with Mi5 which is hardly ever, write a plugin.

We can let the devs decide the priority should they decide to implement something. I think clutter is the main concern, but that would be mitigated by making it optional.

VO 1.8.466 includes:

- Added option to show player guild tags in chat. It is disabled by default and can be changed in Options -> Interface -> Show Guild Tag in Chat Log.
