Calendar

Were you looking for general event calendar info?

The in-game Calendar, added in the 3.0.2 content patch, shows in-game realm events and allows players to add their own events including raid scheduling.

The calendar window is accessed from a large round button at the upper-right edge of the minimap or throught the slash command /calendar.

Calendar window

Accepting/Declining events

If you see your calendar button flashing (top right of Mini-Map), that means you probably have been invited to a new event waiting to be Accepted or Declined. Click the calendar button, and you should see a large ? on the day of the event in question. Simply click on the event, read the description, and either "Accept", "Decline," or "Remove" the event.

• If you "Accept," you will be marked as "Accepted" and the Event Leader and Moderators can modify your status to: "Confirmed," "Standby," or "Out"
• If you "Decline," you will be marked as "Declined."
• If you "Remove," you will remove yourself completely from the event list, as if you were not invited.

Creating Events

The individual that creates the event gets a solid crown next to their name. Event Creators have full control of the event. They can:

• Appoint Event Moderators.
• Perform same actions as Event Moderators.
• Modify event type/location/start time/info text.
• Perform "Mass Invite"
  • Mass invite has two options: Level range and Rank.
  • For example, select:
    • "70-70, Initiate" and all level 70 chars in the guild get an invite.
    • "1-70, Initiate" and ALL guild chars get invited. (You can only mass invite 100 members, all but the smaller guilds will not be able to use this type of invite)
    • "1-20, Abbott" and only Abbott ranked and above "banker" chars are invited.

Ability to create events is given by the Guild Leader to selected ranks though the Guild Control option.

Moderating Events

Event Moderators have an Outlined Crown next to their name. All Event Moderators are appointed by the event creator. (Or other moderators? - verify) Event Moderators, do NOT have a "Mass Invite" ability, but can:

• Invite individual guildies, or non-guildies.
• Modify any individuals status (need to verify if can change "Declined") to the following options:
  • Confirmed, Standby, Out, Accepted, Declined (verify)
• Modify event info text.
• Modify event start time/location? (verify)

Announcements

• Announcements are simple ways to announce something to the guild.
• Announcements can be added to the calendar in the same way as events. They can be flagged as Raid/Dungeon/Etc..Etc... (verify)
• No one has to Accept/Decline and no one is listed as "Invited" to an Announcement.

Notes

• When an event is deleted, all invited (accepted/declined? - verify) guildies are notified via in-game mail.
• Sometimes, past events cause minimap calender button to flash until deleted. (Event Moderators and Creators only? - verify)
• Even deleting past events notifies all participants via in-game mail. (verify)
• You can Accept/Decline/Moderate events though the Armory.
