Owners — Guild Discovery directory

The Guild Discovery directory at /guild-discovery is AO Master's public guild browse page. Anyone (signed in or not) can browse + search guilds that have opted in.

To show up:

1. Open Settings → Public Profile.
2. Tick Open for recruitment.
3. Set Visibility to Public — listed on Guild Discovery.

Both have to be on; Public alone without Open for recruitment doesn't list (Public + closed-recruitment is for guilds that want a shareable URL but aren't actively recruiting).

What the directory shows

Per guild card:

• Guild icon + name.
• Member count.
• Founded date.
• One-line description (from Settings → Guild Profile).
• Region pill (ASIA / EU / NA).
• Recruitment status pill.
• Link to the full public profile.

Filters at the top:

• Region — narrow to your server region.
• Size — small / medium / large by member count.
• Recently active — sort by latest activity timestamp.
• Search — by guild name or description.

Why list

• Free recruits — guildless players actively browse Discovery looking to join something.
• Vetting tool — applicants check your public profile before applying, so the volume that hits your #Join Requests queue is more qualified.
• Branding — show off your war roles, recent kills, banner. The public page is your shopfront.

When to un-list

• You've hit your member cap.
• You're rebuilding the public profile + don't want a half-broken page indexed.
• The guild is invite-only by policy.

Switching Visibility back to Unlisted removes you from the directory immediately. The public page URL still works (existing links don't break), it just stops appearing in browse + search.

Cross-links

• Settings → Public Profile — configure visibility, recruitment, widgets.
• Owners — Public profile + vanity slug — set the friendly URL.
• Settings → Guild Profile — icon, display name, description.
