Hi there, I wanted to bring to you guys something a group and I have been working very hard on to bring to the MMO community:
Guildwork is a new website created to give players and guild leaders access to a huge, global, social networking site that offers a customizable DKP database, an easy-to-use event calendar, your own fully-customizable forum, your own personal wiki utility, integrated ventrilo, and much more to come!
Currently, the site is still under construction, but is open for public release. We would like to test our servers to see what they can handle, and we want opinions from all types of gamers to see what you like, don?t like, what you want added, and anything else you can think of to make this THE primary site to use. The more criticism you can give, the better we can become.
I have been helping Stanislav and Wambulance stress test their site from the beginning, and I want everyone to see how much dedication they have put into the site. Against everything else, Guildwork has been their main focus, and it shows through how amazing the site has become.
It is everyone?s hope that people will learn to love and use Guildwork for everything they could ever need in a guild site, no matter the MMO. Also, that it is able to grow and fit your needs while keeping the speed and efficiency it has today. See below for links, additional info, and screenshots for this fantastic site.

Other notes:
Once live, Guildwork will be able to support specific content for Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, and WoW (ex: wowhead links will be integrated). However there will also be a "generic MMO" interface so all games can be supported. For all beta testers, please only focus on testing parts that have been completed vs. suggesting additions to projects under construction.
If you do have suggestions for the site feel free to post them either on the Guildwork forums or in this thread as I will check this regularly.
Also, feel free to start using the schedule for your current guild. However, keep in mind all info will be wiped on release. (We will give prior warning).
Thank you for your time, and I really hope that some will take enough interest to at least see what we're about, and I hope to be able to converse with you guys about it in the future, as I personally would love to make sure this site fits with all MMOs.
