Not that I need any of you Curentent idea right now, but I must say I love them both, awesome idea and I'm sure it will befit community

as far as Guild portal I believe its something like $30 bucks to get Add free so you deal would be way better

The DKP thing that Dissolution uses is pretty awesome, would be cool to duplicate and offer something like that since it also helps to track lockouts.

Could you provide a link to the service - not necessarily to Disso's own DKP pages. I did think that one was pretty awesome when I used it.

Thanks

It's not a service, Shihan wrote the code and Banaag(spelling?) hosted it on his server, they were members of Disso at the time. Maybe Shihan still has the code for it.

Edit: It has really usefull functions for adding mobs/zones and tracking the lockouts. When I was an officer I did the DKP most of time so I can vouch for it's ease of use. IIRC though it had one flaw, I don't remember being able to remove stuff, so like when we moved onto T6 and didn't do T5 anymore I don't think there was a way to remove the old stuff from the list/tracker. Though that shouldn't be too hard to fix, it's just that Shihan quit mid leveling in T6.

I would surely pay what I am paying now for our guild site to be hosted here, if the performance is greater or equal to what I am getting now.

Right now we're considering a few options but my original train of thought was a free package of phpBB/CMS/DKP. Basically guildportal .. but free and with more options.

I'll have to see what the leading CMS's are but I assume phpBB is still leader in (free) forum software. For DKP we're looking at the system Manyak is developing the integrates directly into phpBB and uses the same user database (pretty neat). He might even need feedback. I'm not sure how far along he is in the development.

The idea would be to create a default package that is already tailored for EQ2 guilds. Of course we can expand on this idea by adding modules for player rosters and whatever else is needed in a guild website.

EDIT:

Any technically savvy people who want to donate their time or insight please contact Permafrost.Niber or PM me here.

My guild is currently has a website that functions.... below average. I'm sure our guild leader would consider something like this. In fact, the only reason we havn't switched sites at this point is we were just too cheap. Its hard to get something cheaper than free

.

A good chunk of my guild already reads the site (i think most are unregistered), but free hosting would bring in the whole guild.

Awesome ideas

eq2flamesDKP and webhosting, awesome.

Who woulda ever guessed it would get this far

, I remember telling people about this site when I first joined to get referral bonuses, and they were like wtf. Now if someone doesn't know the name people scream newb! Friggin awesome

I'll try to make it better than free also, but rest assured it will be free. When this is ready, and after people have a chance to set up and customize their site, we'll put up a meaningful contest for best site design.

Thanks

About the DKP Niber was talking about....

If you would like to see the system in use, ive temporarily unlocked our DKP site here.

If you want to see the admin panel and other stuff, go here. The username is "admin" and the password is "password".

Of course, theres still a few more tweaks ive got lined up for it (plus the skin wouldnt be that ugly), but yeah thats the basic system. It even lets you parse an EQDKP database so that you can transfer systems really easily and quickly.
