I've recently begun setting up a guild, and run into a brick wall. The brick wall that is apparently no calendar for coordinating events. I have one question:
 
Why?
 
What sort of MMO has no calendar built into it? I mean, we have some semblance of it for the game devs to announce their own game events, but how exactly does a guild coordinate their own personal events through the game itself? Using third party options seems completely unnecessary, and yet appears to be the standard. Worse still, the addons meant to add these functions to the game haven't been updated in over a year. I'm both stumped and disappointed, but holding onto a shred of hope that I'm HORRIBLY WRONG, and somewhere in the tangle that is the UI, I missed some breadcrumb that's supposed to guide me to something that might, maybe, could be something like a calendar.
 
Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'd also love someone from Carbine to shed a little light on such a key social, coordinating feature, and why it doesn't exist, if that's the case.

			uhhh, almost no MMOs that I've been in have their own calendars? We always planned our events trough external guild website, so I don't see the problem?

			Out of curiosity, which mmos were you playing that had built in calendars? I've don't think I've seen one... But I may be forgetting. I'm trying to remember the last game I played that had a calendar in it at all, and the only thing that comes to mind is animal crossing, but surely that is just me not being able to come up with something more recent. That was a long time ago. Lol

WoW has one, a neatly organized one to be fair, but it doesn't really count since WoW survived long enough to even warrant luxuries like that, (it didn't launch with the game) while other mmo's pretty much bit the dust so no need to add em, let's hope Wildstar is different.

			Yeah, WoW was my main one (sorry for late response! Got busy) But I'm relatively certain ESO had something like that, may have been more along the lines of an announcement, or news board you could post to within your guild interface. My biggest problem is that people are a) lazy, b) have short attentionspans and c) very often cannot be arsed to visit a third party site for things. Hopefully though, hopefully one of the addons will get an update, or it'll become an in-game feature.

			Our guild made guild site on enjin, somehow we are able to sign up for raids and other events. Not that big issue, if you are truly guild leader.

			I'm in FFXIV, GW2 and here. None of these have a calendar as far as I remember. And even better, FFXIV message of the day has to be at maximum 2 lines and 100 symbols long, meaning that I can't even fit our TS info, so for EVERYTHING people are directed to our website. And to be honest, it's not too bad.
