You mean a general game calendar? Maintained by the devs? I'm not sure who's job it would be to update that - but, along those lines, I always thought we should have a Supergroup calendar. Nobody from Paragon Studios would have to maintain it - each SG would have an extra page in the SG Settings tab, and could set permissions for editing it as they please.
As things stand, I'm guessing most SG's just use the motd to list upcoming SG events (at least, that's what the Liberty League does) - but that's a hassle, because you have to constantly change it, don't get much text, have to string all your events together, and it severely limits other potential uses of the motd.

This is what the calendar looks like in game.

Except that we don't have enough events for it to matter. And when events do happen, everyone gets a global MOTD.
Never surrender! Never give up!

Maybe the GAME doesn't have enough events for it to matter - but players sure do. I don't know about your SG, but mine does several things a week, and we're pretty casual. I'm sure there are SG's out there that are doing things almost every day, who would find a SG-edited calendar very useful.

Yes, but that was your suggestion... not the OP's.

Heh - I didn't know we were only supposed to say "yea" or "nay." I thought these threads were useful to discuss a suggestion, maybe offer variants, constructive criticism, etc. Otherwise we might end up with 20 different threads about very nearly the same thing, but with slight variations.

If we're going off the OP's suggestion, they said to implement a calendar similar to WoW's. Which has the ability to add personal, restricted by invitation, and guild-wide events. Honestly, it's pretty frikken amazing. |

A coworker finally nagged me into trying WoW. So far I'm bored out of my mind but it does have one great feature I'd like to see in CoX. Attached to the mini map window is a tiny calendar page showing the current date. Clicking on it opens up a full calendar page showing the current month. Each event that is scheduled to begin or end during the month is listed on that particular date and clicking on them gives more information on the event. It would be a great way to figure out what events are going on and which are upcoming without having to go to the main page or forums.
