Guilded allows multiple independant players to create a channel for chatting plus anything else that the possible plugins allow. It is effectively a second Guild chat channel, without any of the Guild restrictions. Anyone with the channel name and (if required) the password can join.

Don't know anyone to use Guilded with? Join the default channel 'guildedglobal' with no password and see who else is there.
Core Guilded: (inside Guilded.zip)
- Guilded chat system, channel configuration.
- GuildedMembers plugin for listing the name, class, level and location of all online Guilded members.
Current optional plugins: (in the appropiate zip file on the Guilded page)
- GuildedTraders (Taken over by Micron) - Advertise items to Sell/Buy, find crafters, manage your Guilded items stock pile. See the readme.txt for instructions!!
- GuildedPlayerTracker - Track Guilded members on the world map and if close enough on the minimap. (Entire code stolen from GuildMap and turned into a Guilded plugin. See GuildMap for more details.)
External Plugins:
- GuildedDKP: http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=2332
- GuildedRaiders: http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=2387
Commands: #### IMPORTANT 1 ####
/ga <message> is the default chat system slash command. It acts the same as the Guild channel, so it will be sticky and allow item links, etc. This can be configured in the config screen to be anything you want it to be.
/guilded for some minor commands, nothing really needed.
Bindings: #### IMPORTANT 2 ####
You will need to bind the Guilded GUI to a key. I would suggest Shift-o since it is similar to the default Social GUI which is usually bound to the o key.
Setup/Installation: #### IMPORTANT 3 ####
1. Delete the old Guild addon directory.
2. Install the AddOn as per usual and log in to World of Warcraft.
3. Confirm you have at least the addons named ChanComm, Guilded. (In Guilded package)
4. Optionally make sure you get any extra Guilded plugins you require. (GuildedMembers, GuildedPlayerTracker.)
5. Enter the Main Menu -> Key Bindings menu and bind the Guilded GUI to the Shift-o key or any other key you choose.
6. Close the Key Bindings and Main menu and bring up the Guilded GUI with your bound key (Shift-o or whatever you set it to)
7. Change the Channel Alias as you like, it is only for your personal chat window. eg Type /ga then a space will replace it with [Guilded] or whatever your alias is.
8. Enter a channel to connect to. Use 'guildedglobal' if you don't know another channel to try.
9. Enter a password if it is required. Leave this blank if you are joining 'guildedglobal'.
10. Press the Accept button. You should see a message in the default chat window that says 'Guilded: Joined channel guildedglobal' or whatever channel name you choose.
Some suggested uses:
1. Multiple Guild alliance channel. Chat, Trade, Raid with other Guilds without having to merge your Guilds together. Especially useful for a number of smaller Guilds to pool resources.
2. Create an underground Guild. No one will know you are in the underground Guild as there is no way to detect what channels you choose to join. Infiltrate other Guilds, become an assasin Guild, or perhaps a horde/alliance illuminati. However, be prepared to reap what you sow.
3. Create a black market. Organise your shifty deals, advertise bounties, request hard to find items, trade in all that is dark and scorned; but beware, your fellow shifty blackmarket members may not be so quick to pay up.
Future Guilded plugins ideas: (feel free to notify me if you'd like to code any of these, as I'd like to play more and code less)
- GuildedAlts - Display who your alts are on which servers. Configurable for privacy.
- GuildedGatherer - Share gatherer data with other members of your Guilded channel?
- GuildedEnchantrix - Share enchantrix data with other members of your Guilded channel?
- <insert your idea here>
All new feature for addon developers:
Guilded now has a plugin system ready for use. So, if you have an idea for something that would make Guilded better, feel free to code it up and try it out.
Get the Guilded developers pack for a helpful Guide and template code, plus use existing Guilded plugins as examples.
Current state of the AddOn:
- All new and improved with a complete rewrite.
- There may be minor bugs since no one is perfect, but none I have noticed in 4 weeks of usage.
Code Credits:
- Lots of people that know who they are. Especially those that helped with bug fixes, translations and hosting new versions during my break.
