[Return to Main]

Guild Creation

Find a Guildmaster NPC in any of the major cities.

Acquire a Guild Charter from the Guildmaster.

Add 9 other people to the Guild Charter.

Return the Guild Charter to any Guildmaster.

You now have a guild!

Guild Names:

Be sure to create an appropriate (non offensive) guild name. Offensive guild names might be renamed or the guild might be disbanded. Sometimes a name is already taken or disallowed. Keep trying different names until you get one that is accepted.

Guild Commands

Note: most of these commands can only be used by officers and leaders.

/ginfo - Gives basic information about your guild
/g <message> - Sends a chat message to all members of your guild
/o <message> - Sends a chat message to all officers of your guild
/ginvite <player> - Invites another player to join your guild
/gremove <player> - Removes a player from your guild
/gpromote <player> - Promotes a player one rank within your guild
/gdemote <player> - Demotes a player one rank within your guild
/gmotd <message> - Sets the guild's message of the day
/gquit - Removes you from your guild
/groster - Gives an entire guild roster (officers and leaders only)
/gleader <player> - Sets another player as the guild leader (guild leader only)
/gdisband - Disbands your guild (guild leader only)

Guild Ranks

Initiate, Member, Veteran, Officer, Leader

Officers and Leaders can add and remove players from the guild.

Only Leaders can disband the guild and promote players to Officer.

Guild leaders can also rename the existing ranks and create their own ranks, up to 10.

Otherwise the guild rank is just a status symbol. You can check your guild rank by opening up your character name. Your rank is listed under your name.

Guild Tabards

The guild master must first design and purchase a guild tabard. He or she will need to find the appropriate guild creation and interaction NPC in order to both create the guild and purchase the Guild Tabard. You will need 10 gold to unlock the guild tabard. This may sound like a lot of money but it can be easily done by having all the guild members donate money to the guild master.

Only the guild master can purchase and design the guild tabard.

The guild tabard cannot be changed after it has been purchased.

Pick something you can live with. Don't be rash in your choice.

Guild Chat

Guild members will all be able to talk to each other via guild chat. Simply start a message with /g text to speak to guild members. It is a good idea for guilds to establish rules for their guild chat so that it is a nice place for guild members to be.

Guild Tips

Use your guild to help each other through the game. Use a guild to find party members and help each other do quests.

Loan each other money for items.

Pool trade skill components for specific people in the guild. This will allow them to get to a higher skill level much sooner.

Share information for players that are stuck or confused.
