Has anyone else created their own guild of 1? - Page 8 - Guild Wars Forums

Cjad the Nord · May 02, 2007, 08:42 AM // 08:42

"The Silly Nannies" was originally my one man temporary guild after the disbanding of my previous one. But then all the members from that one ('cept the leader) wanted to join, so then we became an 8 member guild. We all knew each other from before Guild Wars, so we get along great. Then, one of the members' sister joined, and another person from the forum we all posted at joined, and then we recruited someone we never knew but who eventually became a good friend of everyone, and now we're an 11 person guild.

We've got a hall with almost all the amenities, and we PvP/PvE regularly. I gotta say, it is far superior to the big guilds (and eventually, alliances) that I used to wander in and out of. Plus, I have never worn a cape I liked as much as this one, probably because I'm the one who designed it.

i made a one man guild as i was fed up with the bickering in the alliance i used to be in.
it became a two man guild about a week later, and im single handedly trying to gain all the upgrades for the guildhall.

(me and my brother, he was in the same alliance, and had the same gripe with them)

Frantic-Sheep · May 16, 2007, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Yep same here

Got kicked out of a guild and didnt feel like joining the very next one. So I was waiting for a nice guild to come across my path. However, when guildless people whisper you for join requests etc. so I decided to create my own guild for time being.. ^^

So far my one-man guild solution works very well. I play when I feel like it and I don't have to worry about organizing stuff, and I've played less anyway lately, so I don't have to feel "obliged" to play more.

I'm currently the leader of a 4 person guild. It's me, my husband, my stepson, and a good friend of mine. We got sick of weird BS in our previous guild (unfortunately, we were all in a guild with family members, and a serious family falling out made us think that we didn't need said family members' flaky weirdness) so we started ours to just have a place to hang. We love it, although we're seriously wanting to join an alliance of other small, independant guilds that we could trust to be decent players (they don't have to be great, just cool people who have a reasonable idea of how to play), to romp around with and do stuff with sometimes.

Metal Herc · Jun 25, 2007, 04:20 AM // 04:20

I am the leader of my one man guild. I got sick and tired of getting all the random invites. Besides that the drama invovled in guilds was too much. Too many guilds with people complaining, arguing. Officers and leaders on power trips, people expecting me to get so much faction or having to play so much or show up at some time. It's a game, I play for fun, not for stress.

So I made my guild. Knights of the Green Sticky [KOGS] I have some of my personal friends form real life and in game that might join.

I think it's a MUCH better way to go than all these "big" guilds that have 3 active members and 100 poeple that havent logged in in ages.

Stupid Shizno · Jun 25, 2007, 02:28 PM // 14:28

with heros now, 2-man guilds are more popular, 2 guildies + 6 heros = guild.

vergerefosh · Jun 26, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

I was in a guild with friends for ages, then I got a bit bored, and decided to make a new guild which is something that I'd thought about for a long time. Ao I made a guild and joined the alliance was part of before which is all small guilds with friends in, one of those is only 2 people

JONO51 · Jun 26, 2007, 07:45 PM // 19:45

I'm in a one man guild as i go on my search for a new and different guild. So i was wondering, are there any one man guild alliances?

Stormlord Alex · Jun 26, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

I used to have my own guild, the Cats Base Army [CATS], mostly so I could have my own pretty cape (both of my accounts were in it).

Then an old friend, whom i met waaaaay back when I first played guildwars (I even remember firestorming our way through the catacombs with him), invited me into a medium, friendly guild, the Soul of Melandru [sOm], and I've been there ever since.
IMO, GW wouldn't be as fun without the alliance

iriyabran · Jun 28, 2007, 08:44 AM // 08:44

currently..
its sad and lonely to play alone
i want to start anew but i'm afraid to join any guild
afraid of inactivity bad behaviour lack of teamplay blabla
i try to force my boyfriend to play with me but he doesn't like gw >__<

p.s. guild is Pretty Sailor Soldier of [Love]
funny eh?

Well99 · Jul 03, 2007, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I done the one man guild for awhile now.Sometimes dumping it to join a guild.Still cant seem to find a good one.The reason is posted by numerous folks on the thread.Anyhow friend came over from D so were at 2.Which is fine with me.I am slowly filling it out.Stores and such.

I find the whole "community' thing guilds have very enjoyable, but that being said, each to his I guess.

Baelian Grey · Jul 06, 2007, 04:44 AM // 04:44

I created my own guild of 1. I have a full hall, cape, and I'm not even in it. I made a close friend who never plays the leader.

freakdaddy · Jul 06, 2007, 03:29 PM // 15:29

wow it's funny as i read these posts it sounds so similar to what has happened to me. i was part of a large gaming community and we started playing guild wars together i started a guild for them then the powers that be decided they would become in safer words "unpleasant". so 7 of us left and started our own guild called Xx Edge Of Extinction Xx. we purchased everything for the guild it is a complete setup and is by far more enjoyable to play. we have done the recruiting thing and at first noone wanted to join because all we do is farm and quest all PVE. then a few people started to join and we are fluxuating between 8-10 people.although to try and give some of us a more larger feel that some might crave we did join a large alliance that doesn't require us to FF.

ValaOfTheFens · Jul 13, 2007, 12:36 AM // 00:36

My former guild went down the tubes due to too many exchanges of power in only a few months and so I kicked my RL friends(we have a standing agreement that if I leave I could kick them) and left. Right now I'm the only member but I have 2 more members coming for sure. I started the guild and made a cape. I'm going to do runs(LA to TOA and Villainy and maybe Beacon's to LA) to make money to get a hall.

My guild's name is "This Guilds Name Is Really[Dumb]". It took me like 10 mins to come up with it.

Molock · Jul 29, 2007, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Just recently I left another guild days after joining... the leader was a nazi and asked you what you we're doing everytime he or you logged on...

I have probably been in 10-15 guilds since I joined and the only guild I liked broke apart after the leader left..

So, I know what its like to be guildless and to receive invites non-stop.. and I am seriously thinking about making a one man guild.

stephenconor · Jul 29, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

yup i left my guild after getting named called pfff to them
my cus joined me

we dont care about a full hall or fration its all about fun

we called

The Old Farts Clan

Is a group of people Iv'e known and gamed with for the about 7 - 8 years now I reckon . We play all different games and when I got GW a few months ago I tried to convince some to join me . Unfortunately Iv'e not had the response I was hoping for and I am a guild of one . Iv'e been solo'ing through the game mostly , hitting a few Pugs now and again . I actually have 2 friends that play but they are rarely online and they are in another guild at the moment . I managed to save up enough cash for a guild cape so far but at level 17 Im finding solo'ing is becoming very difficult and I haven't played for a few weeks . I might drop the Ofc tag and join a more established guild just to get further along in the near future ...
