I dunno. Even then, you'd only have to download the app if you were obsessively desperate to fully max all your waking hours into your farming. If you're content to not be the absolute best on the server, logging on each evening and sorting it in-game is a perfectly viable option. And given how horribly intrusive some game's notifications can be *shudders*, I can understand people who wouldn't want that!
1) Seeing what officers and/or members are online via the app
2) Being able to access the guild's calendar of events
3) A message board and/or (typed) chat room
Ooh - how did I miss THIS?!
YES YES YES to Siege Notifications!
And to this one, too! It'd be really, really cool to be able to show other people we meet who also play AoC our toons directly from an up-to-date app - as opposed to carrying around a screenshot of our characters. Not that I've done this - but I've seen plenty of phone-photos of computer screens that don't look so great.
Being able to still see/read/monitor guild-chat OUTSIDE of the game would be really handy!
I really enjoy the notion of being able to send an invite to someone who's wanting one, even if I can't be in-game.
Being able to select specific chats to be able to monitor out-of-game feels like a good idea. In fact, if they allowed us to report abusive/harassment/inappropriate behavior in chats would be like having FREE moderators watching your game's players' behavior.
These are both handy. Being able to immediately see a "banned" list would be great, and there's no harm in knowing who can craft what.
1) Any in-game resource management or AH purchases. Maybe be able to SEE things like crop-growth status and to SEE the market while out-of-game - but to only be able to interact with these things while in-game.
2) Voting for Mayor. If you're not playing, you shouldn't get a vote. MAYBE if you've logged into the game in the last 3 or 4 days. But otherwise? NO.
3) Tracker showing locations of guild-members (adds a large load on back-end processes)
I agree with his truly.
Maybe a guild with a recent high technology rank or PvP score get certain “information perks” within the app.

I don't want it so you can just use your app to do farming on your freehold while deep down in a dungeon or away on the other continent exploring. One of the biggest selling points of this game are the social interactions and encounters while people go about their business in the world. That whole "bringing the Massive back in MMOs" thing. You don't get that if people can do stuff ingame from the safety of their apps. Well, other than the chat thing. I see that as net plus for the social aspects of the game.
This is the best way to do it tbh. Whenever a official app is made it's never as good as a community app
Hard disagree. I'd much rather have an official studio-made app.
