I do RP. It’s been sparse over the holidays but my guild is for RP, we do adventures and shenanigans. Of my 12 characters, 4 have strong plotlines and 2 more cameo in RP as needed. (Ok, I have 13 characters, but one is a low level shill made for a guildmate’s RP, he’s her nemesis villain and isn’t for actual game play).
If someone walks up and RP talks at me I’m likely to drop into character and hang out with them, so long as it’s not moment before logout/bedtime or a guild dungeon run etc. In which case I’ll /w them with an explanation.
Btw I mentioned the guild restriction because your OP said you wanted to start your own, so I was cautioning you that you wouldn’t access its stuff while guesting.
Yeah that all makes sense, I get what your saying about the access, which doesn’t quite bother me but then again, who knows o o I’ll probably be a bipolar GM who is laid back but cracks down on the rules XD I dont know! I’ve never had a guild before! And yeah that sounds great. I’d like the idea of possibly rping with you at some point if you have the chance. Unfortunately I have school tomorrow and friday, and I need to get some scholarships done for college as well as Financial Aid crap UGH. But if you’re ever up for it I can see what I can do

Not sure if you’ve already seen them, but there are a few helpful guides here on the forums that might also help a bit (not necessarily specific to your guild-creation question, but still helpfull overall):
Also you can only guest to two servers per 24 hours.
It’s useful not just for RP. If you really need an open temple, you can check temple timer pages to see who has it open, get nearby (not in aggro) and log over to that server, do your business, then again get to a safe place to log back home.
Restrictions are you can’t WvW while guesting, and your guild bank and benefits are localized to your home server so you can’t get at those either.
Thats okay, as I don’t have my own guild yet and I don’t do much with the guild I’m in currently, that doesn’t bother me, let alone, if I did guest, it would probably just be for rp at this point, if I see fit to, I mean, I still don’t completely understand this game either, I still have a lot to learn; I still don’t understand WvW either. And, I was curious and I dont want to assume, but do you rp? I mean, you are on the Tarnished Coast server that is the home of homes for rp, but I didn’t know if you yourself rp’d. Just curious.

RP’s a huge part! Then again I’m on Tarnished Coast, home to thousands of RPers.
It turns out that making and growing a guild isn’t terribly hard. I just did it for some extra storage, made my own solo guild. The only scary part is that Leave Guild is a button right next to Represent Guild. If I ever misclick while swapping over to access the bank, I’ll have lost a lot of time and money.
However, influence will come in very slowly with just one or two members (unless you have a ton of gold) and building things takes not only influence but time — when you want to build something, it can be a week before it’s available for use. Since you have to build one stage, then build the items that stage allows, then build the next stage, it can be a few weeks before you have the initial basics.
Yeah, my friend wanted to switch servers once he found out about another server having huge amounts of rp’ers and I told him. Go ahead. I don’t care. I’m not moving. I love my server, and I don’t have the money to pay for switching servers, or the will to delete any of my characters to switch, especially now that I have my level 80 Necro. I definitely want to rp with it, have the guild, unfortunately I don’t think my server has a lot of rp’ers but I wouldn’t know, I just joined the one that one of my friends was already on, though she doesn’t get on at all anymore. My only fear is that I don’t know enough about the lore of Tyria and such. I want to know it so I can properly rp and not be the one who knows nothing, which I sorta am at the moment. I know the parts of my storyline and that’s it, and even that’s giving me trouble now.

Here’s my Lvl 80 Female Charr Necromancer, Rasinya (and unfortunately I didnt write in her last name when I created her so I plan to change that when I get gems possibly go for Swiftblade or even Swifttongue , who knows!)

And as for me, I have my main as my now level 80 Female Charr Necro. I absolutely love playing her, and I love her. I wouldn’t change her design for a moment, though she’s the more dignified caring Charr, where as my other Charr Female, a Ranger, is a bit of a spitfire, more ferocious and likes to let off jokes once and a while. I love both of them more than anything, and I do think it’s unfortunate that the ratio of female to male Charr is so low, as well as the ratio of male to female Sylvari, though I haven’t gotten the chance to play a male one just yet. This is my main girl below Female irl as well .p. who says girls don’t game huh?

I’ve honestly never counted them. Most of my charr characters are female though, as I find their looks and voice less over-the-top.
I agree on the looks. The charr females are a fantastic example for well designed “beast people” while most of the male options seem designed to try way too hard in the “LOOK AT ME! I’M MEAN AND SCARY!” department. It’s hard for me to consider them mean or scary seeing as how they live in constant danger of serious self-mutilation by their own teeth. :p Trying too hard like that inevitably backfires and turns me off hard, be it in terms of scary, evil, cute, “manly” or “sexy” or whatever. It becomes a caricature.
The female charr voice could use more oomph, though. It’s not exactly the sort of voice that I could imagine bellowing orders across the din of a chaotic battlefield. (Maybe I’m doing the VA a disservice there; it’d help if our character actually had a chance to bellow orders like that now and then.) I’d like it to be deeper and with a bit more of a growl and military briskness to it when called for.
There’s a few faces for the males that I actually find a little less scary and I could almost say “sexy” or “cute”, at least, as far as it goes without them trying to rip your ear off with they’re teeth if they whisper to you. The few male faces I’ve seen that are in that category happen to have smaller fangs/teeth than the others, which I’ve come to realize, actually looks good because otherwise the males have these stalactites protruding from their mouth, and with some characters I feel like I could be impaled by them.

Private guilds are really good in my opinion. I have all of the storage unlocked (took about a year since it was not a huge priority), and you have something to rep so you do not get drowned in blind invites to guilds (can’t understand why people don’t even bother to whisper when they do this). You have I believe 4 or 5 guilds you can have on your rep list so a mix of private, social and various dungeon or pvp or fractal or whatever your hobby is works well.
I was planning on making this guild with my friend, since he finally got the game a while back, and we were thinking of putting a little bit of an rp spin on this guild as well, seeing as that has been controversial to him joining and we think it would be more fun if we did add a bit more personality and storyline to our characters as we use them, though I dunno how that’s going to work (cause I really don’t want to disrupt other players who don’t want to be involved so it wouldn’t be able to be in the speak/say chat), let alone how many people would want to join it because of that. All in all, I just want my own sort of guild cause I feel as if the one I’m in now has a little too much drama and I get confused and can’t always participate and such. I feel like such a nerd saying all this. I know that rp isn’t a huge part of GuildWars, but I think it’d be a little fun to do it, I mean, it would definitely add more to my perspective.

There’s really not much point into guilds other than another source of chat, a few minor buffs, and guild missions. You can experience 99.9999% of the game without a guild.
I want to make my own guild and I have absolutely no idea how to, let alone the correct way to do it. I’ve been on here for a few days more than a year and I have joined a guild, but now I’d like to start my own? I’ve no true idea what exactly happens within the guilds, as in the activities (if they’re just set up by the Guild Master (or whatever the term is here) or if they’re set up by some otherworldly source and the GM delegates) and such. Over all, I’m just admitting that I lack the knowledge of what the Guilds do asides be a team and a family. I know, pathetic for being on here for a year. I do want to make up my own guild at some point, but I’ve just no idea what to do, and once it’s made, what to do after that. Some insight and teaching might do me some good. And yes, because I don’t know much, if anything, about Guilds, I also am quite confused and lost when it comes to WvW so any advice or knowledge on that might be helpful as well. I’d really appreciate some help. Please and thank you.
