Owners — Public profile + Custom URL

Every guild on AO Master has a public profile at /g/<id-or-name>. The page renders the widgets you've enabled on Settings → Public Profile — banner, About, Recent Kills, War Roles, Messages, etc.

The default URL uses the guild's long database ID. A Custom URL lets you replace that with a memorable short word — ao-master.com/g/minions reads better than ao-master.com/g/0a5b71d9-….

Permissions

Manage Guild to set, change, or release the Custom URL.

Setting a Custom URL

1. Open the Settings → Guild Profile tab.
2. In the Custom URL panel, type your preferred URL word (e.g. minions).
3. Confirm in the panel.

Your guild is now reachable at /g/<your-name>. The original ID-based URL keeps working as a redirect.

URL rules

• 3-20 characters.
• Must start with a lowercase letter.
• After the first character: lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens.
• No consecutive hyphens, no trailing hyphen.
• Lowercased automatically (MyGuild becomes myguild).
• Globally unique across all of AO Master — first come, first served. If your preferred word is taken, the form will tell you.
• Free during the public test phase; you can change it every 24h.

You can change the Custom URL whenever you want. The old URL keeps working as a redirect for 30 days, then becomes available for other guilds to claim.

What visitors see

Anyone visiting /g/<your-name> sees the public Welcome page you configured. Visibility is gated by the Visibility dropdown on Settings → Public Profile:

• Public — listed on Guild Discovery — your guild also shows up on the Guild Discovery directory.
• Unlisted — accessible via link only — the page works for anyone with the URL but isn't browse-able from Discovery.
• Private — staff only — visitors get a "not found" response.

Share-friendly URLs

A Custom URL makes your guild link easy to drop in Discord, Reddit, Twitter, forums:

• https://ao-master.com/g/minions — short + memorable.
• Opens to the public Welcome page with banner + recruitment status + Discord invite (when configured).

Combined with Open for recruitment on Settings → Public Profile, the URL doubles as a recruitment landing — visitors see an Apply to join button at the top.

Cross-links

• Settings → Guild Profile — where the Custom URL field lives, alongside icon + display name + description.
• Settings → Public Profile — visibility, widgets, and the banner shown at /g/<your-name>.
• Guild Discovery — the browse directory that lists Public guilds.
