How do I link a guild house in our Message of the Day? (PlayStation)

Hi guys!

I want to link a guild house in the MoTD on PlayStation. Copying the link I get from linking in chat doesn't work. I bet there's a workaround with some HTML coding, but it isn't obvious how to do it.

ZoS advertised the feature on a forum post about Firesong DLC, specifically stating you can add it to the message of the day.

    the raw text version looks something like this:

    |H1:housing:27:@name|h|h

    where 27 is the house id and the user name is the @name

    I'm not familiar with the Playstation layout so not sure where the option is, but there should be a way to generate the code from the housing section of the collections menu.

    Just to add to that: if you choose the house in the collections menu, choose link via mail and then edit the message it shows the full string which you can then write down somewhere and type in to the MOTD. 👍

    Make the link more detailed: come up with and enter the name of the house between the characters |h|h. Here's how I have - |H1:housing:44:@LikiLoki|hAngler-crab|h

    How would you add color to the "Angler-crab" custom name? If I add a |cf8c00 it seems to break the line. I'm currently adding it like so |h|cf8c00Angler-crab|h|r and the color works but it then shows the cf8c00Angler-crab|r in the motd. Clearly that's the wrong place for adding color.

    I've used the above code on Xbox and it works great, however the @ character seems to be randomly changing to an *. I know it's not a one-off typo as I've seen it happen multiple times in a couple of different guild's MOTDs.

    Anyone else seeing this? - is it a known bug?

    new House Link feature is bugged. It puts * after the @ sign. Your chars sometimes see it as @userid but your guildees see as @*userid. So it cannot TP an account named @*userid.. At least this is the case for me.

    The @ to * conversion is due to the profanity filter setting. However, it’s not clear if all users need to turn it off, or just the maintainer of the message.

    And I also found that GMT is disallowed and becomes **T, but at least UTC works.
