Guild Wars 2

Can a person be in more than 1 guild? And if so how exactly does that work?

You can be a part of, I believe, 4 guilds. You can choose to represent any of them at any time. Representing a guild gives said guild influence and access to their guild chat/bank.

You shouldn’t do it though because it will make your guild leader cry.

Yes someone can join multiple guilds, but they can only represent one of them at any given time. They can choose which guild to represent by going to their guild window (Default G) and looking at the left side where it will list the guilds they are in. Once they click on the guild they wish to represent they click “Represent” at the bottom of that window.

Representing a guild means they will display that guild’s Emblem – if that guild has the emblem perk purchased, and that character has purchased the underlay for the emblems.

By representing all the actions you do will provide that guild with Influence (Guild Currency to purchase perks / upgrades), and you will also be able to use that guilds currently active upgrades/perks.
