Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I decided to try another class/profession have been on TC for maybe a week and a couple of days now can’t really remember. First day I found a guild that offered fun times and activities, so I joined right away. I had been playing on another server for week and another couple of days before that and have never played the original guild wars.

I had no clue that if I made another character that it would show in the week old guild I joined. I had thought I had enough information to continue going on what I had been doing. Anyway woke up logged in and after an hour I tried to say something in gchat. Was given a message that I was not a member of a guild. =/ About that time I saw the advertisement of the guild I had joined so whispered the leader.

Was told that I had not been representing the guild and that it was one of the main rules so kicked for breaking it. Tried to explain that I have always had them represented from day one. It wasn’t until underhanded insults towards me and how I was lying to find out that if I made a new character played said character then it would show that I was not representing the guild.

Sorry for the long post I would just like to know if there is anything else I am missing that is important? Again I am new to the Guild Wars world… I read a lot of posts trying to gleam anything I can to help me along. Clearly it was not enough if yesterday was to go by.

To be bluntly honest, if that guild will act like that, they aren’t worth the time. Good guilds don’t insult their members and will take the time to explain things.

Most things in GW2 are best learned through experience, and I can’t give any general advice without specific topics, but feel free to add me in-game and give me a shout if you ever have questions.

The way that guilds work in GW2 is that when you join a guild, all of your characters are in it automatically. Your account joins the guild, not the specific character. You can also join multiple guilds, and choose one to represent at any given time – whoever you’re representing, you earn them influence and can participate in their guild chat.

When you make a new character, you always start out not representing any guild, which is what will have happened here (you get the ‘you are not in a guild’ message if you’re not representing any). You just had to go to the guild panel and choose to represent, and then it will stay that way until you change it.

Falunel’s right though, that wasn’t very nice of them. They should be able to see your account name next to the new character, and recognise who you are from that. It’s not your fault that you didn’t know the system yet, in fact I’d say the guild leader is at fault for not recognising his/her own member, even a new one.

Because GW2 allows you to join multiple guilds, I think it’s a little narrow-minded to make it a rule that you have to representing at all times, but each guild has their own rules of course. I hope they’re a little more understanding in future.
