Title: FYI: CS actually helped. (Innactive guild leader replaced) Post by: Rasix on August 21, 2005, 10:22:46 PM Quote Greetings, *deleted account stuff* Thank you for taking the time to contact us via the in-game petition system. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for being unable to address your issue while you were online. After investigating your Guild Master's inactivity, we determined reasonable cause to promote a new Guild Master. We have promoted the above character to Guild Master status. In order to facilitate this, we have demoted the former Guild Master to Officer status. If you would like to transfer leadership status to a different guild member, simply target them and type the command . Please note that only one character at a time can be flagged as a Guild Master. Thank you again for contacting us. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft! *** Please do not respond to this email as all conversations on this matter would be best handled online. *** Regards, Ranssil Game Master Blizzard Entertainment www.WorldofWarcraft.com Took them a couple days but I filed the petition on Thursday night. On Friday morning I had a in-game email saying they would look into it. I get back from vacation today and I get that email. Made me happy. I now have GM status for my old alt guild :) So if anyone runs into this, yes, CS can help and will in this situation. Title: Re: FYI: CS actually helped.

If a leader is inactive for 2 weeks, promote the next best eligible member automatically. Eligibility can be based on position and membership duration. Plus they could have a toggle for a certain tier of people that they themselves would turn on that basically said, "If the leader is gone for too long, I'll take over." It must be more difficult than that though, I haven't seen any of the MMOG's get this right. Title: Re: FYI: CS actually helped.

Hasn't CoH a feature where you can "kick" an inactive guild leader ? Title: Re: FYI: CS actually helped.
