Here is an update on the current status.
1. I am not happy with GEM at present. I have uninstalled it.
2. Thus far I do like GuildAds, the mod which Flash found. With 4 of us in the guild testing it for the past week, we have not had any problems.
3. GG had experienced problems on Stormrage with an older version of Guildads. If I understood him correctly there were issues with spam and crashes when they had a large number of people in the guild running GuildAds online at the same time.
4. It is possible that these old issues with GuildAds have been fixed. The webpage Guildads indicates that a number of spam and crash issues have been fixed.
5. I would like to have a test run with our Terenas guild running GuildAds. However, this will pose an inconvenience for people who are playing on Stormrage and running competing mods.
6. I have been told that when version 1.9 of WoW comes out, players will be able to specify addons for each toon instead of having to run all the addons for each toon or remember to disable particular mods for particular toons. This would address the problem mentioned above in #5.
7. We do not have an immediate need for GuildAds or any similar mod and we can wait until v1.9 comes out to run a full test. If anybody would like to try it out in the meantime, please feel free.
Addendum: Features of GuildAds
Inside a channel, players can
- chat
- see which items are needed by others
- see which items are available from others
- see the skills and guilds of all players
- inspect other players who are online regardless of distance
- create and subscribe to events (instance runs, etc.)
