Guild Launch News
Aion Feature Status - Read Me
Above and beyond our hundreds of features that are not game specific we have functionality for many specific games. Aion is one of those games.
When new games come out we tend to get a lot of questions about features. With Aion about to go fully live the questions are increasing. So, I wanted to make a post and answer at least some of your questions ahead of time.
Features We Have Already
* 4 Aion Templates
* Aion Class Icons
* Aion Character Adding
* Aion Server info
* Aion Item Link hover from AionArmory
Features in the 6.8 Release - Planned for Sep. 23rd
* Aion Server Status
---- If servers are added please email their name to us at support@guildlaunch.com!
* Aion Spell BBCode from AionArmory
Features We Have On Deck
These are features that we know we can add, we just need to get them developed.
* Another Aion Template
---- Vicki is working on a few templates for other games that have released then she's back on Aion to develop a template with forum icons and more detail
Features We Need More Info On
* Raid Progression
----- We need more *definitive* info on raids in Aion. A website or wiki link is best. Also, screenshots of bosses, loading screens, or other "iconic" images of the instance are helpful. We use those for the widget.
Things We Need Much More Info On
* Character/Roster Imports
----- It seems there will be some web based character profiles. At this time we have *no* idea what form that will take and whether we can use it. We want to use this data though so as we know more we'll figure it out.
Things We Don't Think Are Possible
* Aion does not, at this time, support in-game addons. So, this limits our ability for Character/Guild profiles and Raid Tracking mods.
----- If this changes we'll evaluate and see what we can do.
What do you want us to develop?
We often get requests like this:
"Please add more stuff for X game."
Unfortunately, that doesn't help us. We're always looking to add new things for a game, but a simple request for "more" doesn't cut it. If you can be specific about what you would like to see it helps us deliver that functionality and the more info you can provide the quicker we can deliver it.
Hopefully that clears some things up and lets you know where we're at. We've seen a lot of excitement and guild creations for Aion and we're excited to be delivering functionality for it.
Enjoy!

There are BBCodes for items already. Spells in the next release. Other than that I'm not sure what you mean by "radio buttons". Are you talking about being able to show Aion hovers when your site is set to something other than Aion? If so, just so you know, it's not based on the template it based on your guild settings.
As far as for each game template... only about 5 games have worthwhile suport for item hovers and we support them all.

I would still like to see radio buttons for Aion item & spell code (and similar for each game template)

The quality loss is primarily the resizing. We can play with the class icons. Possibly, even if we lose some quality, because of resizing them to the size we need, using the colored ones will provide more visual differentiation.

Hehe, we run site wide announcements relatively rarely. They usually stick around for about 24 hours. Sometimes I run them for a few hours. Depends, but I like to get information out to everyone when I can and keep people in the loop. I moved this one to the admin area and I'll leave it there for a while.

It can be a pain to scroll through the BBcode extensions each time you want to post these items.
to me it makes sense to have these game specific buttons on game specific templates
