Guilds have picked up some additional data since Census launched that folks may not be aware of. I'm going to go over all of the data, even some that has been present for some time. Data Update Frequency Data for a guild is updated each time a member logs in or out. A member who has been promoted, demoted, or left (voluntarily or otherwise) from a guild will not drop from the roster until the next time they login. General Information Example data:<guild accounts="61" alignment="2" dateformed="1298556407" guildid="****" guildstatus="0" guildxp="31598900" id="*********" last_update="1360373593.601493" level="95" members="132" name="*********" name_lower="*********" ts="1360373593.601493" version="1" world="Antonia Bayle" worldid="104">Accounts is the number of unique EQ2 accounts in the guild, while members is the number of characters joined to the guild.Alignment has one of these values:<alignment_list><alignment id="-1" name="unknown"/><alignment id="0" name="good"/><alignment id="1" name="neutral"/><alignment id="2" name="evil"/></alignment_list>Guildstatus has been deprecated in favor of guildxp which (I believe) shows the guild's status towards the next level. Guild Ranks Guild ranks are from 0-7 and always use a specific set of icons which can be found in \EverQuest II\UI\Default\images\guild_ranks.dds.<rank_list><rank id="0" name="Leader"/><rank id="1" name="Officer"/><rank id="2" name="Officer Alts"/>..<rank id="7" name="Recruit"/></rank_list> Recruiting Info Example data:<recruiting flags="10" longtext="Do you think you have what it takes to be a truly hardcore crafter?

There are 7 parameters which can be changed: cloak_color -- the cloak's base or background color (0-63) edge graphic (0-11) edge color (0-63) emblem (icon) graphic (0-38) emblem (icon) color (0-63) pattern graphic (0-9) pattern color (0-63) There are a total of 64 * 64 * 64 * 12 * 39 * 10 or 1,226,833,920possible cloak designs. These can be displayed on your website using overlaid PNG images or some other technique.Personality Tags There are 4 personality tag slots which may be selected in-game. These are returned like this:<personalitytag_list><personalitytag text="We enjoy doing quests"/><personalitytag text="We are family friendly"/><personalitytag text="We're very funny (in our opinion)"/><personalitytag text="We play at odd hours"/></personalitytag_list>Guild Achievements Guild Achievements are only published if the "Hide Guild Achievements from Census" checkbox is not checked under Guild Options in the Guild Window.Example data:<achievement_list><achievement completedtimestamp="1361934477" id="616659975"/><achievement completedtimestamp="1361934925" id="755589334"/>..</achievement_list>Guild Achievements are described in the Achievements collection (link). To distinguish them from player achievements, check for the presence of the isguildachievement flag.http://census.soe.com/xml/get/eq2/ach...amp;c:limit=100Currently there is just one category of Guild Achievement -- Raid -- however more may be added in the future.
Not allowed to create a new thread so will post here. For some reason there are now 2 achievements for The Forge Golem in Maldura. Also many guilds are showing kills for both if they killed it before and after the new one was added, sometime around March 1st. Can see them here. Kinda sucks when you're going through them all and building a list and see the same one listed twice.
The reason for that is that the achievement changed when it was discovered rather late into the xpac that the mechanic for spawning The Forge Golem was not working as intended. Rather than removing the old achievement for killing it, a new one was added that new kills were linked to. This is why there are 2 achievements.
I looked but could not find Guild Points anywhere in the data. Is this something I missed or could we get it added?
I do it by adding up all the points from each guild achievement they've completed. I.E.: Points ="10" Code: <achievement id="19578004" hidden="0" name="Guild: Defeating Malkonis D'Morte" category="Guild Raids" version="1" last_update="1470752931.246651" ts="1470752931.246651" icon="2245" desc="Defeat Malkonis D'Morte" nextid="0" points="10" isguildachievement="1" previousid="0" subcategory="Echoes of Faydwer"> <reward_list/>
Assuming you mean chararacter Points (some guilds use it for DKP), it's not available in Census to my knowledge.
Yes those are the ones in the game they are called "Guild Member Points". I thought about using them for our DKP system but without a way to easily view the number of Add events, I would just be doing double work for attendance.
Oh those, maybe they could add something like an export to text file of the Guild Point History for each member, but right now no they are not in the Guild nor Character census data. Or just use something like EQDKP+.
