We have a very loose definition of required. You aren’t completely obligated to run any add-on, but these will make certain aspects of guild life much easier for everyone involved.
Group Calendar is the official AIE Event calender. We tried using GEM but it was exploited and not used to promote legitimate guild events as intended. AIE no longer uses GEM in any official capacity. (In other words, use at your own risk.) All official AIE Events will be posted in the Group Calendar. Here is a link:

The guild bank will always return any item that can be bought from a vendor. I have returned well over 100 such items.
The number of deposits have outpaced the number of withdrawals by ~100 to 1. There is not an unlimited amount of space to store all of this stuff. Please think of the bank when you need something!
The guild bank sells all grey items to vendor without credit to the sender, and returns the vast majority of crafted items and BoE gear.
Instructions so simple even an ogre could do it:
Get Guild Bank Account addon here: http://wowui.incgamers.com/?p=mod&m=3972. Click on one of the many “download mod” links on the page. Unzip this folder to the ‘C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons’ folder on your computer. If you installed World of Warcraft to another location, unzip there instead.
Log into WoW.
To open the GuildBankAccount interface, simply type ‘/guildbankaccount’ or ‘/gbank’ or ‘/gba’
To deposit very useful items to the bank, mail them to BankOfAIE.
To withdraw anything you see below, mail the bank separately and state exactly what you wish to receive. In the case of stackable items, please indicate the precise quantity you desire.
These are add-ons that many guild members use and find useful. They are not, in any way, required.
Whenever anyone asks something like , “what’s a good price for the Silky Frobnitz of the Leopard in the Auction House?” in guild chat, you have seen where this add-on can help. It’s a utility for recording statistics on prices in the Auction House and making recommendations on what to ask for items that you wish to sell. It also has several other related utilities that you can install individually, or together from a single distribution.

Based on the Ace-2 framework, this is probably the best addon that takes advantage of manipulating the world map with a wide variety of features that include waypoints as well as plugins that mark out quest locations, vendors, and so on (with additional plugins) http://files.wowace.com/ (look for all files that start with “Cartographer”)
LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab to search in your web browser, whenever you get stuck on a quest. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you’re not using more memory than you need to.

TomTom is your personal navigation assistant in World of Warcraft. This addon is very simple, but provides a nice set of functionality. Thanks to Esamynn for Astrolabe, which does the bulk of the work in this addon.

This tool provides an easy way for you to keep your Ace addons up to date. When it first launches, it will download a list of available addons from http://files.wowace.com. If it can determine your local World of Warcraft installation folder, it will also compare that list with the addons you currently have installed and pre-check them.2)

One of our Centurions is currently developing an add-on to record your progress in the PvP battlegrounds. This add-on is still experimental and has plenty of sharp, unbeveled edges.
The back-end to parse out the SavedVariables files remains to be written, but this gives us a mechanism by which members can provide some numbers to back up a self-nomination for the Centurion rank. We’d like to have some of the PvP’ers try it out and verify against screenshots that the module is collecting stats correctly. At the moment, it only supports WSG, AB, and AV.
Downloads
Current version is 0.2.01.
What the module does is keep running totals of killing blows, deaths, captured flags, et cetera. It also keeps a list of compact records of all your stats for individual battleground sessions up to some limit. The default is 256 records, but the data in the running summary has no effective cap. In the future, the user will be able to just submit the SavedVariables file the same way a service like RPGOutfitter is handled.
Please delete the old saved variable files if you are upgrading from 0.1.00 ... on most Windows systems, these will be the following files.
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNT\SavedVariables\PvpScribe.lua
