I did a “/who” of guild that was standing right next to me. It said 0 players online. Does it not work anymore? Is there an alternative, it’s seems it’s been broken for quite sometime.
same server?
Are you using the proper format?
/who g-"guildname"
Broken for a long time now.

It doesn’t work with layering - it only works for the layer you are on…

I feel like it’s been broken for awhile.
This is unnecessary. It’s just broken with sharding.

Yes, they are on the same server
I’m not sure what you mean. Let’s say a guild’s name is “The Duchy of Emberwind” on moonguard
I type in " /who the duchy of Emberwind" even though they are online, I don’t see any of them. Is there a addon that can help. Am I doinng something wrong?
That is pretty much the problem you are facing. You might be on shard 3, and the others might be on shards 1, 2, 5, 6 etc…
Is sharding and layering synonymous terms? They appear to be but than I throw in phasing. All those nuances…

To be honest, I don’t know the difference, all I know is that each server has different instances for various zones, which overlap when the bodycount gets too high… Layering/sharding seems to be used interchangeably for the same thing…

Yeah, that makes sense to me
Without the g-“name” the search won’t specifically match a guild name, try:
/who g-“The Duchy of Emberwind”
You say it isn’t necessary, but it is, and I just tested it. It’s easy to say its broken because of sharding, but in fact if you try the proper form, amazingly, it works. When you don’t specify g-“Guild Name” it will only search players in your shard. But when you do specify the g-“Guild Name” it searches specifically for Guild names on your entire server and any connected to it. Try it, instead of being wrong.
