Raid in Trouble, Final Phase & Special Event seem to be the most popular among the people I know.
To prevent swearing, canned messages could be limited to numerical input. Either screen for numerical, use a numerical keypad or have a drop down selection. Thus allowing:
Raid in X min
Raid ending in X min
Special Event in X min
Guild Meeting in X min
Officer Meeting in X min
Messages could be limited to 15 minutes (current cancelled Raid cool down), to cut down on eSPAM. Raid related messages could be triggered with a Message button on the Raid itself. Thus Guilds that run multiple Raids could still have a 15 minute message limit, but coordinate multiple Raids.

Whenever the Server restarts, it would be nice if all Raids in progress, starting with least time remaining and ending with most time remaining, were automatically sent a Raid in progress notice.

Server restart notification would have a huge impact on Guild Prestige & Power. Currently Venan does not compensate for Server Outage lost Prestige & Power due to Leaderboard issues. Mercing in v1.6 will further complicate this issue. There is also the issue of the Server crashing again if a huge load is suddenly reapplied or crashing repeatly while tracking down the issue. For many reasons, a Server restart notification would be bad.
