Has anyone else created their own guild of 1? - Page 3 - Guild Wars Forums

TheLordOfBlah · Aug 28, 2006, 03:55 AM // 03:55

I was in a one man guild for a while, then I joined a guild which had people arguing all the time, then another was a guild of noobs, another said they were allied with lux but the leader wouldnt be on for a month to ally them, but this has to be my favorite:

Someone was recruiting in LA with the following message [---] has a cape, hall, and over 500,000 faction!! Well I didnt really care about the faction and joined to see it said 200,000 faction. I said since when does 500k mean 240,000 faction? And the leader kicked me...

now im in one with my friend who plays once and a while but maybe ill make a one man guild and join an alliance of one-manned guilds =P.

Arkantos · Aug 30, 2006, 06:53 AM // 06:53

Heh, making my own guild right now. Not sure if I actually want to make a guild, or just look cool with a tag and a cape

Whenever I join a guild, its either inactive, has a bunch of immature idiots or the closes.

llsektorll · Aug 30, 2006, 09:03 AM // 09:03

try joining pvp oriented guilds... those contain immature idiots that actually get things done ^_^

Stupid Shizno · Aug 30, 2006, 12:28 PM // 12:28

an alliance of 1 man guilds would be pretty cool honestly

Martian · Aug 30, 2006, 12:37 PM // 12:37

I've been in the same guild my entire GW Career. At first it was just me and my Dad, until, about 6 months later, all my friends bought the game and joined. Since then one has left and formed a one man guild, and no longer plays, one barely ever comes online, and one has taken over from me as leader and basically started recruiting everything that walks. So apart from these few friends of mine we have three active members, two of which are Danish.
Yeah, i could do worse.

Mrscoombes · Aug 30, 2006, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Lol I probably spent a grand total of 40k on renaming guild/recaping guilds I was in. It was 1 man so none of it really mattered in the end...I'm currently in my own guild but its for real now, I love the cape, love the name, thinking of buying a hall and maybe recruiting some friends or something

McMullen · Aug 31, 2006, 06:10 PM // 18:10

So far i've had two one man guilds.
first one was called "Cripple Cart Racers [CCR]", which was really just randomness if anything.. And my current one is "The Mullet Is Superior [TMiS]".. because i have a mullet

But it's great. The recent guilds i've been in haven't really been what i'm looking for.. plus i got a hall for doing AB's

Any Luxon one man guilds looking for an alliance?

TheLordOfBlah · Sep 01, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

ooh me!!!!1

I just gotta ally w/ lux first but yea thatd be fun =P 1 man guilds alliance.

hoqw many other guilds in it?

Green Dragonhunter · Sep 02, 2006, 01:47 AM // 01:47

Me and my friend started our own guild and bought a cape and guild hall at the isle of meditation and r u going to recruit a few nice players and keep it small, and i did hate the random invites i constanly got when i logged in.

Blackhawk · Sep 02, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Me, a Friend and our kids in one Guild, I also have another Guild of my own with just me in on my Spare Account which is allied with the main one

Both Guilds have Capes, Halls with a Storage Agent and Merchant, and it suits me fine having no other members as then I dont have to put up with any idiots.

Only problem I have is that people assume I'm in some Dutch Guild as the initials are the same (DooD), and I keep getting pm'd in Dutch all the time with hilarious results as I don't speak any Dutch so I reply by ordering a sandwich or a hotel room with a bathroom in French and waiting for the confused reply at the other end

tifaRockheart · Sep 02, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

I didn???t create the guild I???m in, but I now own it.

One by one the members left, and eventually the former leader made me leader and then left.

So now I???m part of a one person guild and have been for quite some time.

For a long while I???ve felt that if I left it would be a bit of a waste to lose the few things we collected (cape, guild hall, and an npc or two) which were hard to get in the past. Haha.. used to be 90k-60k for a sigil and we never got into PvP???ing. I???ve been here since the beta and never been in a GvG

It???s been getting a bit dull though going around with just henchies and PuGs that just rush to get the mission done, so I was thinking about leaving and looking for another guild. But after reading through these posts, I think I???ll stay in my one person guild since I don???t want random guild invite spam and it sounds like good guilds are hard to find.

Blackhawk · Sep 04, 2006, 10:38 AM // 10:38

Just checked with Sigil Trader - 12K so theres never been a better time to make a 1 man Guild complete with Hall.

Those people who say they have 30 odd members and are currently saving for a hall must really waste money as how long does it take to make 12K

silv3rr · Sep 06, 2006, 12:17 PM // 12:17

I have my own also

My situation is much like tifaRockheart's. The only investment other than Guildhall + cape my guild has ever made was when a friend of mine bought us the Xunli Agent upgrade.

Except my reason was that I wanted my own cape >_> Some of my friends did join but they all havn't been on for 1 month +

It really does get "lonely" and boring sometimes (I don't talk to anyone in Alliance) but oh well, that's the price for having my own cape

EDIT: Just got a pretty stupid idea, I say we all 1-Man guilds form an alliance

oh but then I bet most of you are already in an alliance

Effendi Westland · Sep 06, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Made one during the HA weekend. Alliance shouts for HA made me mad (and the shouts at each other because some idiot posts "HA team forming, meet at gh" and he goes of to wait in HA, leaving us afk ppl to explain to the people arriving that we are in fact not the ones starting a HA group.

Things are good in my new solo guild though :P

EDIT:
now 23 guildies strong and growing

Saphatorael · Sep 06, 2006, 07:13 PM // 19:13

My very first guild was a one man guild... i just saved up 100g in pre-searing and created Drain Bamaged [DB]

...disbanded 5 minutes later, remained guildless for almost 2 more months after my little guild-adventure

Good name lol

Having your own 1 man guild owns imo. Rule free, schedule free, noob free, "active"-players-that-join-then-leave-after-two-days-for-months-on-end free, and you can use the guild announcement as a notepad. I'm so tempted to make one now

.

milan · Sep 08, 2006, 01:19 AM // 01:19

I have a 1 man luxon guild (for AB). Get to choose the name, the initials and importantly the cape. I had a fine time wandering all the guild isles to choose which one I wanted, and I'm considering adding storage to the hall. As Mars just said, also comes with handy notepad which I use to remind myself to do the things I keep forgetting to do.

As for the 1 man guild alliance I'd be up for that. Anyone organising it give me a shout.

Linksys · Sep 08, 2006, 11:57 AM // 11:57

Yeah same here, I also made my own cape. A sort of 'anti-guild.' But I usually tell people that I'm not interested in real guilds and I just registered one to make a cape to go along with my armor. In the guilds I've been in before, the capes were usually a mismatch anyways.

First guild I was in, not much happening. Second one, same thing, kinda vague. Third one, the leader was hardly ever on to check on things. Fourth one, got a little into guild hall scrimage, but the potential of the guild was limited. Basically to stay in to be nice would be holding me back. Not to be rude or stuck up or anything. But if I aspire to battle in the Hall of Heros, which I kinda do, I may consider joining a guild later on that can help me do that. And in exchange they get another member and I can help with faction and such.

But for now, I'm out of the guild stuff. There are some lack of resources such as hitting the guild chat to see if someone can join you to help with something. But that's okay. Maybe I'll be into that later on, maybe. It depends on how often I play GW from time to time.

My cape doesn't have a symbol or image on it. Just plain red with a white pattern on it, like you see in PvP. But it's a red cape with a white ^ shape across it. My armor is red. And that's fine.
