Has anyone else created their own guild of 1? - Page 9 - Guild Wars Forums

tF now has 2 of my friends in it. Also am slowly putting stuff in the hall xD

Killaya · Jul 31, 2007, 07:08 PM // 19:08

My boyfriend and I are the only members of our guild. I've been in several large ones and they all disbanded and became inactive so I gave up and we just got our own place.

Guild is called: Fabric of Existence [ohGr]

Just the two of us

Got ourselves a hall with a merchant and a storage agent, so it's all good.

I was in a very fine guild about 8 months ago. However I went off to
play another online game and so left the guild.

Recently I have been playing GW again and so I created my own guild because I have two accounts.

Maybe someday I'll recruit or disband. It depends on how much I start
playing GW again.

It's cozy

Isle of Solitude storage and a merchant

one man guild.....so pathetic

Eldin · Aug 02, 2007, 02:15 PM // 14:15

Let me tell you all a tale.

A friend referred me to GW where he made his own guild - The Warlords. Him and I were the only members, and contrary to what he claimed he had never gotten past the Northern Shiverpeaks.

...then I joined a really good guild. However a few hiatuses and whatnot made me decide to leave (plus the wide array of timezones made it hard to find a large group of people).

I made my own guild of one, though it was not intended to be that way. A friend of mine was to be co-leader. My friend was into GW for about one week, quit, and then, around the time we made this guild, he was back into it - and more dedicated than ever.

Then the lazy bum lost interest in GW (he hates it for very stupid reasons, so stupid he doesn't even deserve to hate it). I decided to just join a new guild.

However since I've been dabbling in Steam games I decided I will be solo until GW2 - when my passion for Guild Wars will be renewed 200%.

My GW-hating friend fears that day...

In the meantime, I may make my one-man guild again just because I keep getting Guild Offers whenever I go into a crowded town.

But when I do disband and look for a guild to join I guess your ummmm
attitude would rule out yours.

Alperuzi · Aug 02, 2007, 02:41 PM // 14:41

I once created: Last of the Least [LOL]

which everyone mistook for the other LoL, but we ended up being 3 people

I've also created one today as a joke for the Jora Fans at gwiki, called it: Jora Is [HOT]

haha, now the name is taken

moriz · Aug 02, 2007, 09:54 PM // 21:54

mine is called Pathetic Union of Gimps [PUG]. originally supposed to be a casual pug gvg guild, but i never gotten around to actually do pug gvg with it.

now i just use it for alliance battles. nothing like being able to switch sides on a whim so i never have to fight on the short end of the biased maps.

i find pathetic to make an one man guild only to get away from guild offers when u r in towns.It was much better when u needed a lot of gold to make a guild.
and never say never.we might be in the same guild sometime

DokkyDok · Aug 03, 2007, 06:27 AM // 06:27

I once had a "guild of one" with a lovely hall (My personal favorite, the Frozen) & cape that suited my characters. This was the only reason for having a solo guild

After a while, I disbanded the guild, because I began to think that if you wanted to go it alone, you shouldn't have a guild at all, to let others know that, by seeing your lack of a tag. I seemed to get more respect in PuGs (Not like it matters, really) but eventually settled in a guild with friends.

Naylyn · Aug 03, 2007, 07:32 AM // 07:32

I think one man guilds are rather sad, because to me it says that you have given up on finding a group of good players to play with.

For me guild wars is so much more enjoyable when you have a group of people that you get to know and like, to play with and if you don't feel like talking to anyone there you can just appear offline.

untill you have a two guilds in your alliance (of 6) gang up on all the others for not wanting to GvG, or not depositing a certain amout of faction points every day; up untill then the old guild was fine, we would all waffle randomly to each other, about half was very active and they were happy leaving the casuals, farmers and PvE only people to get one with it, helping each other if two of us were doing the same thing at the same time.

i was stuck with a group with a few good peope and many, many idiots, and i just didnt want to deal with that again as they were spoiling the game for me.

riftbreaker raven · Aug 31, 2007, 08:48 AM // 08:48

one of the guilds in my alliance is a one man guild. He has his own hall and has spent a lot on getting it decked out so hes not willing to just leave it. This is an option quite a few people take i think.

SeraCombi · Aug 31, 2007, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Having led a large guild as well as led a full 10-guild alliance in the past, I've seen life from both sides.

My guild is now comprised of me alone.

I have an awesome cape, awesome guild name, awesome guild hall (Isle of the Dead) which has the most convenient npc layout, and all the npcs, and I'm (currently) aligned with Kurziks for AB access.

I can tell you it's nice.

Precious, precious silence in guild and alliance chat.

No alliance players for whom you have no boot control.

No constant petty disputes among 16yr olds that need monitoring.

If I want to have fun with other players I pug. Get my fill of juvenile behavior, and then go into the deep recesses of my silent world again.

The OP's idea of having an alliance of one-man guilds though sounds intriguing. I'm not a total misanthrope.

Ghryphon · Sep 02, 2007, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Im in a 2 person one with my gf....

Its rather nice

We dont have to worry about a bunch of people with attitudes and other things that we really dont care to deal with anymore. Basically put, no more drama!

downside is, when we want to do large group things, we dont have anyone, but it all works out somehow. You can do everything in game with heroes anyways

Yggs · Sep 03, 2007, 10:13 PM // 22:13

I've created my one an guild once... it was fun but after some time, you want to talk with someone dunno stuff like this... ATM I'm looking for a small PvE guild new guild. The problem with the olds guilds is that they don't know you well so they ignore you in most of cases...

A11Eur0 · Sep 04, 2007, 04:57 AM // 04:57

I was in my own one-man guild for a year and a half. I didn't like PvP and thought that was the only reason for having a guild. All guilds I saw recruiting were heavy into PvP, focused on rank and faction and whatnot. I didn't have factions until recently so there was nothing for me to get into.

Now that I have Factions I'm in a rather large guild/alliance, and I still don't PvP much. I'm kinda one of the PvE gurus for Proph and factions, helping out and running where I can.

Azza · Sep 04, 2007, 07:30 AM // 07:30

Me and My son are the only 2 in our guild, we recently had a Member recruit for another account of his guild, and most ask to be exited, some where kicked by immaturity on there behalf, and our alliance just kicked 3 "non" PvP guilds including us, even tho me and my son PvP when we can/have time.

were currently just trying to finish PvE in both modes, i have done all campaigns(excluding GWEN) in Normal Mode and my son who only started 3 months ago has finished prophecies twice in normal mode, finished faction but the deleted his assassin(due to alot of abuse from in game players), so now he is trying to get his warrior threw NF and Factions but finds himself doing Prophecieshard mode few of the times, or doing Tombs with his ranger.

well what im saying is its better to have small guilds, I'd be happy to let others join but it seems as tho people wanna join big guilds and never be helped(well 50% of the time they will not help)...the whole reason i started a guild was due to never being helped and i have always Vowed if any 1 in my guild needs help i will be the one to help them, and my son loves helping people(that say thank you) threw alot of prophecies or early factions, or early night falls, me on the other hand can help in any area of any of the mentioned campaigns(Will be getting GWEN on thursday)

Can't agree more. I am now having my one man guild. Thank God for no drama in last several days and peaceful playtime. One thing I will slighty disagree to is the statement regarding the 16 years olds. I am 34. I have seen many 30+ folks need more monitoring and they tend to be way more juvenile than many 12 years olds I came across.

I don't think I will be in a multi-player guild again as most times when I need to get someone to play with I whisper friends on my list or just pickup random pugs. Better trade-off than guild dramas.

And always remember the game is Buildwars and not Guildwars!

Yes me and Azza are both in United Farmers Of Europe[FOE](play american-english server)....and yes the quiteness of non 16 year olds arguing or members who get help and dont say thanx then leave the guild once u help them threw 4-8 missions(depending on how much time i have).

But between the constant arguing and the guild hoppers i just dont bother to recruit anymore, altho i was thinking of recruiting some PvP players!!
