My guild started out on one server in an EU world and built up an investment in various Guild Services there. Subsequently half of us decided there was a different US server we liked better. We moved there and started building new Guild Services in that world too. Our guild consists of people from all over the world. We were thinking originally that once we had guesting facilities we could still all play together no matter which home server we were on. But now we find that that won’t be possible, with guesting not working between US and EU servers. So we find ourselves with effectively two guilds that cannot meet, both with services, but taking up space in only one list of Guild members. It seems very bad to have a whole lot of people in our guild who we will never see again, or to kick them out after they built up the Guild services there with us. So we would love to be able to split away our friends on the old server (who, sadly, we won’t see again in game) but without them losing all the services we had all worked together on building. This would give them the ability to manage their own EU guild ranks and whatever other new services they wished, separately from those of us on the US server now. ANet would presumably need to allow guilds with the same name at each datacentre, or allow/enforce renaming of Guilds that were split. And all of this would be unnecessary if some form of guesting between data centres could be provided.
A more general guild splitting service may also be of use to other guilds spread across more than one world, even without the EU/US rift.

Judging by the tools they’ve lacked in the past I’d say guild splitting is very far down the list. I think it’s safe to assume that won’t happen.

It’s a terrible situation :/ Don’t expect any help from ANet, I’m afraid you’ll have to sort this one out yourselves.

In any way, is it that bad? How many are you? You still share the in game chat, so you can still have some fun together.
