Guild Wars 2

So I understand that there will be an event where we have to claim a guild hall. I’m wondering if that event will be repeatable or not. I know we are going to want to have as many guildies there as possible the first time we claim it, but I’m also thinking about those that miss out on the initial event and want to repeat it. Will it be something we could do as a type of guild mission later?

Since no details are released I am going to place an assumption here:
I highly doubt it will be possible.
Unless there’s a way to get rid of your guild halls, it would be unreasonable to put you in an event to claim one when you have it.

I guess you could always keep a guild slot open to create a guild, take over a guild hall, delete and repeat. Kind of like key farming is now but with no (known) benefits.

You can switch between 2 guild halls. Maybe you will have to do fighting part every time you do that.

According to the blog post, the progression is saved and carries over when you switch between the two.

Progression is, but the unlocking event may still be required.
Remember, technically the current progression will also carry over, and yet we will certainly will need to fight.

The switching info comes from the ZAM article (linked in Dulfy’s Guild Hall Live Stream notes). It says you can swap to another hall and all upgrades etc will transfer over though you’ll have to reinstall your decorations. But the question remains open as to whether you can just move in without doing the fight.

A simple move in might not matter so much in the context of the two starting guild halls with their similar claim processes. The Initiative could just say “hey, you’re doing great where you are but we’ve found another aether stone source and would love you to shift over to guarding it, our hirelings have done the preliminary hack and slash.” I assume, however, that over time more hall styles will emerge, possibly in other climates, and it would be a shame to forever miss out on the experience of claiming them just because you had one of the first two.
