Guild Wars 2

I hope this isn’t already discussed somewhere. Recently I received an offer for a merger with another starting Guild. The request came after a friend and I discussed the possibility to hand the leadership to someone else since I for one am very ill at the moment and secondly that I really do not have an idea how to run a decent Guild and that must be frustrating to mu Guild Members wanting to do Guild stuff.

My question is:

Is this at all possible? How do we change the name of “our” new Guild since the new Guild would like to keep their name but would like to add my Members? I currently have almost 500 members and him just a few but they are doing all the nice Guild stuff.

Thank you in advance.

There is no mechanic in the game for guild merging or changing the name of the guild. Whichever guild you want to keep (presumably the one that has the most improvements/influence) is where all the members go to. They could keep dual membership if there is they like to access the old guild’s storage, etc.

Sometimes in WvW, it’s nice to have a secondary guild people can go to and run incognito. Might keep the old guild for that too.

Personally I think far too many people start guilds, thinking they are going to do it “right”. Everybody and their uncle thinks they should not only be a member of a guild, but be a leader of a guild and that’s just silly. I guess you found out the hard way that it’s a pain for most people to lead a guild.

I started four guilds . . . . for storage. They are fully upgraded to 250 storage slots each. My fifth guild is the one I actually run with.

Have said person create(if not already created) the guild and invite those who want to join said guild to it.

Since each person can have 5 guilds it shouldn’t be an issue unless you’ve gone storage guild crazy.
