With F2P blosomming around, player are more and more playing multiple games, hence many guilds are based on more and more games.
From this perspective, Raidplanners are not as useful as they should : RP, WRM our PHPRaider for instance are single-MMO-centric and very often you have to install whatever instance of your fave raidplanner to manage whatever games your guild is on (with one calendar per game). This is very painful.
What about adding a “game” entry to your database, which yould be documented through the admin (so that only the games played by the guild are listed) which would be a key to whatever character / event is recorded (events/dungeons are linked to games, characters are linked to games, classes are linked to games)?
Once the admin has documented the games his guild is on, players will be able to add their characters and events in relation to these MMOS, and events will then all be listed on a single raidplanner.
Let’s have a short example with SW:ToR and WoW :
On SW:ToR, I would have a SWTOR-Gilce, SWTOR-Bounty Hunter able to register to SWTOR-Eternity Vault while my WoW-Gilce, WoW-Druid would be able to register to WoW-Baradin’Hold.
On the calendar, everything could then be displayed, but a player who’d like to register to an event would see only his eligible characters, since the “game” key would be used to select the proper things (kinda like “select * from user, character where level x and game =’swtor'”).
I think this would be a major plus to RP (and to guild management) without being too time consuming to implement.Only thing is… synchronization with external site might be difficult whith several games. Well, not every game has synchronization, hence, I think we can live without since we would have everything on a single raidplanner instead.
