Sorry, I looked around in these forums, but couldn't find an answer so I'm posting this.
I've been gone for quite awhile (like 10 months or something) and am way out of the loop it seems.
Why is there both en.allods.com and guilds.en.allods.com?
It just seems really... fishy.

I cannot think of a reason for having two sites and thus am very uncomfortable going to a second site for anything official.
I just want to know why I'm going between two sites, without a reason it just seems wrong. Even if the reason is pointless, like "we felt like," that would satisfy me and make me comfortable.
I've never seen anything like it with other games so it makes me dubious of the whole thing. I'm not thinking that I'll have my info stolen or get a virus that deletes all other games from my computer, but still...
Again, sorry if this is answered somewhere and I just missed it.

U mean the Guild Portal, which is more than 5 Years old. Was created by the offical gpotato-Staff for their servers to create something like facebook for allods (without stealing data) . its existing because it offers a chat and the possibility to upload vids and screenshots. Because of ppl like u its dead ...

I don't know what you mean by "ppl like u." I can tell you this though, a person like me has nothing to do with it thriving or being dead.

Hello,

Guild Portals (GP) were almost our official Allods websites for EU communities. It has much more possibilities than our EU forums had (we couldn't post videos or images, no nice signatures, no personnal avatars etc.). As Gramarye said, these websites exist since the beginning of Allods Online EU (end of 2009, closed bêta), there's still a lot of informations about the game, videos, screenshots and stories.

Guild Portal, as the name says, is also a place to talk about your guild (http://guilds.en.allods.com/groups).

There was a lot of events there too (Pimp My Build event was originally made for Guild Portals : http://guilds.en.allods.com/forum/topics…uild-volume-3-5).

Since Allods has been transferred to my.com, with a new forum, there's less player on GP, but you can still try it. There is a chatbox, where players come to talk to other players (or sometimes to Mods) even when they are not ingame.

There's a topic by Piopico here, for every NA players : http://guilds.en.allods.com/forum/topics…to-guild-portal

I encourage everyone to come and try the chatbox, post videos or screenshots, comment other's videos and photos, the more people, the more fun

Okay, cool. I can see the reasoning behind it now.
I'm not normal, I know, so not knowing why there were two separate sites weirded me out.
Now that I know I'll view as completely normal and not think of it again.

Guild portal is a relic of the past. And rather unpleasant past in my opinion.

People really did like the guild portal idea?
I personally hated it, I'm very happy it's close to dead. As with any reminder of Gpotato and it's disastrous handling of this game.

Don't you remember terrible, unplayable bugs they took ages to fix? (Hangar exit crash for over month, Lightwood/Novo crashed for a weekend)
Ban waves and people having to prove they aren't guilty?

Horrid, disgusting. :thumbdown:

Let Guild Portal die, be closed and finally - be forgotten.

I dont think Im the only one liked the idea of sharing pictures & videos, having 1 chat for both faction where u can directly contact a gm/cm and the possibility to do guild-advertisement (Guild-banner-rotation if anyone remembers). As long as they dont add similar features to this Website I dont want to miss it...

-------

And if there's anyone dont giving it a serious try but asking in this forum why it exists im happy to be "one of the rude Guild Portal Flametrolls."
