No love for Guildhead?Follow

Hi,

I am generally disappointed with the status of Guildhead right now. It seems that it's not being updated at all, and questions in the feedback forum there aren't being answered. Also, there is no ZAM GuildWars2 forum here, why not?

Are there any plans to work on and improve Guildhead, or is it just going to be shuttered soon?

Cheers.

Probably because of the forum on Guildhead. I assume they didn't want to split the community.

Guildhead was pretty nice for a while. Of course, GW2 itself has a /wiki function which brings up the GW2 wiki, so there's that. The only reason I ever go on Guildhead is to look up what weapons share a skin, and if they ever implement the ability to preview gear on the Trading Post, I won't even have to go there for that.

I noticed that on the GW2 subreddit (which is pretty active if you are looking for a GW2 community to chat with aside from the o-boards), someone was posting on occasions when there'd be a Guildhead update, but aside from those threads, there didn't appear to be any real attempt to become part of that community.

Honestly, it seems that the Zam Network launches a new site, promotes it a little bit, and that's about it. They don't end up getting enough user-added content to stay really up-to-date, and eventually nobody goes there anymore. Furthermore, launching each site as its own individual entity with little interaction with the other network sites is a bit short-sighted. They should be capitalizing on whatever community they have by making it easy to stay together throughout the various network sites. But what do I know?

Edit: It should be noted that I don't really fault those who actually work on the various sites. It just seems like a poor business model, and without proper staffing I don't see how you could really rectify it.

Torhead is also pretty dead. Posted a question in the feedback forum back in September about an issue that was "being looked at" back in July. No response and the issue hasn't been fixed. Pretty crucial issue as well. I imagine Torhead lost a lot of traffic because of it.

I understand that the site is low on staff and on the priority list, but you'd think someone would check the feedback forum once every couple of months at least.
