Guild Wars 2

I love GW2, but after a lot of horrible experiences in several games, I’ve given up guilds entirely. However, I am interested in the guild halls in the expansion. Also, I’m rather tired of getting a guild invite every time I log in. So is it possible to make a one-man guild? It might seem like an obvious question, but it IS possible over in Marvel Heroes.

Yes

Of course they are possible. I and many people I know have a one man guild as a storage.

Just be very careful not to accidentally leave that guild. If the last/only member leaves it is irrevokably deleted.

Keep in mind that it might not be possible (or very hard) to get Guild Halls on your own depending on how they will work.
If they would require Merits and such for example it could be quite hard for a single person, seeing as you would need to complete Guild Missions for that.

Thanks, guys. I’ll try to make my own guild, and if I can get my own guild hall, then yay me. If not… well, no worries.

I’d be surprised if most players DON’T have personal Guilds as you can get some decent storage for potentially otherwise unused currency.

NOTE: keep in mind that NOTHING stored in a Guild Bank is EVER going to be returned to you if a hacker gets to it. Account rollbacks do NOT restore Guild banks.

Yup. Most 1-man guilds are used primarily as storage. They are also useful for when you want to run solo.

One thing nice about a personal guild that you rep is the ability to get the 250 bank slots as well as have the various buffs and banners when you want them.

Visit the guild promoter, dump a little gold in, Expand the guild bank and maybe set yourself up with some banners. You can have one self-created guild per account, and imo it’s worth it.

Uh, you can have 5.

Wait, you can have several guilds? As in be a member of several guilds at once, like in Elder Scrolls Online?

You can be in five guilds at once, yes, though you may only be representing (which lets you see guild chat & get guild bonuses) one at a time.

Also your activities and influence scrolls etc go to the guild you are repping. So make sure if you join a guild you don’t intend to 100% rep that they won’t kick you out for that. Rep requirements should be stated at the start for new members.

Be very careful when swapping guilds. The “leave guild” button is in a super-easy-to-click-by-mistake spot and there is no confirmation. If you’re the only person in your personal storage guild and you leave the guild, everything you put in the guild bank is gone forever, as are all the resources you put into building up the guild perks.

Yeah, you can be in 5 guilds, rep only one at any given moment; though some req 100% rep, but you can still access your own guild storage. But last I checked, you can only create 1, which most people do for storage space at least.

You can create more than one personal guild. My account has two. Afaik you can create as many as you want. The limit is the number you can be a member of at one time.

Hmm… must have changed, I don’t recall getting the option to make a second when I created the first years back.

If you stop representing and are not repping any other guild you will then get the option to make another guild. Now that I think about it, I actually made 3. One, made a few minutes after launch, became the guild for all of us from Guild Wars 1 and then I made a storage guild for myself a couple of months later and a third guild, for storage, a couple months after that. I’m a member of all 3 guilds still.

Interesting. Then this whole thread is kinda pointless, in way. :-) I mean, I was wondering if I should start my own guild or join another one, but if I can do both, there’s no point in -not- starting my own. I’ll just join another one later, if I feel like it. :-)

How do I leave a guild and go start my own?

How do I leave a guild and go start my own?

You can be in up to five guilds at the same time; you can choose “Stand Down” to simply stop repping a guild or “Leave Guild” to leave the guild. To start a guild, press G. Then click on “Create guild”. You can also speak to a Guild Registrar in the main cities to start one. It costs 1g to start a guild.

Keep in mind that you can be in five guilds, so you don’t have to leave one to start one unless the one you’re in requires 100% rep or you are already in five.
