Weird Guild list question - Guild Wars Forums

Jei Ro · Oct 28, 2008, 10:16 PM // 22:16

So we send somebody an invite to join the guild. He seems nice, but after he logs off, under the section in the guild window where it lists how long it's been since a person last logged on, his time is simply "Offline." He's also always listed at the bottom, regardless of how long he's been offline. What's up with that?

Maybe he didn't really log off and just put his status as offline. Not too sure though.

Jei Ro · Oct 28, 2008, 10:45 PM // 22:45

Well even when people put their status as Offline, it'll still show the time offline status on the guild list.

This happens every now and then, I've seen it on old members as well. Dunno what causes it. -shrugs-

Jei Ro · Oct 29, 2008, 01:15 AM // 01:15

It happened last night. Apparently he's been kicked from our guild before by one of our officers who claims to know what the guy's deal was. He refuses to say why though, citing Anet threatened him with a ban for disclosing the information. I couldn't grab a SS because he's already been kicked. Dunno *shrug*

Narcin · Oct 29, 2008, 02:22 AM // 02:22

this usually happens to people who are set offline when they accept the guild invitation. It also happens when you DC and attempt to reconnect i believe. It's strange but not to rare

I think your guild officer is lying to you, or you misunderstood him. Anet will not reveal information about someones account to anyone but the person who owns the account. If there was an issue with the guys account, Anet would not have discussed it with your guild leader. Even if it was an account used to sell gold from websites, and your guild leader traded with him and got banned and shouldn't have, Anet would not have discussed anything about WHO he traded with to get banned. Nor would they 'threaten' someone with a ban. Nor can I think of a reason that someone would have an account that Anet would warn someone about discussing, and yet not ban the account they warn about. If he can't even talk about the guys situation, then the account should be banned. If it is the same person, and a new account, Anet wouldn't know he was discussing it unless they discovered it was a new account, at which point it would get banned.

As noted, guild rosters get messed by rather simple means. DC can cause odd listings. I have DCed myself, and when I reconnected, was shown as offline still. After reconnecting to the Friends list, I was shown online again, but the guild roster showed me on a different character than I was on. I have also seen multiple people have the same log off time. Although this is easily possible, when 12 people log off at the same time, and some of them are kids who have school the next day, and the time they would have logged off is 4am, I say it is an error

Why it showed them all logged off at the same time, I don't know, but it is just another example of guild roster errors.

It happens on my guild list sometimes. It fixes itself. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

This only occurs when you set your buddy list/ YOUR status to offline. If you get disconnected, and you reconnect, you have to manually set your buddy list (status) to online mode, otherwise, it'll show you as Offline on the Guild list and buddy list. So if you see anyone on your guild list displaying Offline as their last login status, then they are online.
