Idea: An official GWG guild! - Guild Wars Forums

Kiwi · Mar 17, 2005, 02:42 AM // 02:42

How about that, the mods here make a guild and all members of forum can join! Think that would work?

worthless · Mar 17, 2005, 03:14 AM // 03:14

can only have 100 members in a guild... i believe

Kiwi · Mar 17, 2005, 03:17 AM // 03:17

OK then members that the Admins like and think are nice.

ratatass · Mar 17, 2005, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Nash, made an allstar team at The Guild Hall, then again Nash is a GW freak (he he)...and I feel confident that the Nash will LEAD US TO VICTORY!

Vene Vidi Vici (if i spelled it right).

It would be fun, if some of the big boys here put something together. But the big boys are Alpha testers and friends of Alpha tester - so they might end up in some UBER Alpha Guild.

Anybody know what Guild Saus, THX, Freyas, Spooky and Ensigns are a member of ?

Kiwi · Mar 17, 2005, 03:46 AM // 03:46

Give them a PM and find out.

Jak o · Mar 17, 2005, 12:26 PM // 12:26

As far as I know, Fraya is in SoW, Spooky is in ZoS, saus not really in any guild, Ensign isn't in alpha.

Makarei · Mar 17, 2005, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Does this mean all new people when they sign up. have to join this guild or do they have choice? if they have a choice then i cant see any problem with it.

Kiwi · Mar 20, 2005, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Guilds are made by players, you don't have to join.

Aria · Mar 21, 2005, 07:31 PM // 19:31

Don't steal Spooky

And GWOnline did something like this too.

It worked rather well.. and it's still together as far as I know. I know both Tarrant and Chantal are in SoW.. but I don't know if the GWO is permanent, or just a BWE thing.

GothKatt · Mar 21, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

only 100 members huh?

Alpha Guru's AGWG
Beta Guru's BGWG
Gamma Guru's GGWG
Delta Guru's DGWG
lol have the same cape for all

Spooky · Mar 21, 2005, 08:16 PM // 20:16

Something like this could be interesting for next month's BWE .. we'll see how things go. It would have been nice this past weekend, but an unfortunate impossibility for me. We had quite a few new people playing with ZoS, so I wanted to be on hand to keep an eye on things. Alas.. how much simpler life would be if I only had two accounts. And a clone.

It's a good idea, though. The people in GWO's Guild seemed to be enjoying their time together, and to that end, I think it makes it easier for people to find others to group with - no matter what 'style' of gaming they're into, as everyone already has something in common.

How much does making a Guild cost?? I heard from a friend that it's around 1kk gold....but it's not too easy to get gold I believe...or there are quests that actually got a ncie reward :P

Its easy to get gold. You just need a signet basically, and thats around 1000. I believe.

I don't like the idea of this GWG guild for only nice people, for the new people who have come on these boards would not be allowed in.

Kiwi · Mar 22, 2005, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Well there could be multiple guilds run by different mods...

Well.. I assumed that this idea would be like another GWO guild.. but only for GWG. I think a lot of people have established guilds that they've already been in.. and the GWO guild was originally meant for being just a medium for meeting others in the forums, and fostering more of a community between forum members during the BWEs only.

It was definitely intended as a temporary thing just to set up friendships, contacts, and the original plan had a looming possibility of it disbanding after the BWEs. However, due to its popularity, it might remain.

So.. at least with GWO, it was open membership to new and old. Besides, the increase in guild cap helped a lot.. so I don't think it's really that necessary to divide a possible GWG in fractions. Also, of course, if it is a temporary thing, you can always use TANK's rotating roster idea should the 100 members limit be reached..

Freyas · Mar 22, 2005, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Well, if there's interest in making a GWGuru guild, I'd be willing to help out, though I am a member of Spirits of War, and don't plan on leaving them. I'd probably be around to help set things up, and maybe play some games with you guys, and then move back into SoW.

Even if there is no GWGuru guild, anyone here is free to add me to your friends list or get a hold of me in-game if you have any questions, or want to run a mission or something. My main character is Freya Njordsdatter, though I'll often play on different characters with the same naming scheme(Freyas Bane, Freyas Wrath, Deathly Freya, etc) based on what I'm playing at the time.

Back on the subject of a guild, I know a lot of the members here are already in guilds of their own, so I don't know how much of a problem that we will have with the member cap. I know the GWO guild was under 50 members(though right about at the 50 member cap at the time), and I think they have a bit larger community at the moment- though at the pace that Guru is growing, that might not hold for too long

I think this a a great idea!
The Alpha Gurus could be the top Guild
All Guru members that want to join would be in
Beta - Gamma - Delta until they get promoted into Alpha

Or something along those lines

Lews · Mar 23, 2005, 03:56 AM // 03:56

So that means all the people who have posted here from some time ( forget us lurkers ) or all the people with a certain post count, get in Alpha, while all the newer members get Beta and Charlie ( you forgot it ) and then noobs get Delta?

I'd rather make my own guild with some friends then join a guild where I am in the 'Charlie' Guild.

Kiwi · Mar 23, 2005, 04:08 AM // 04:08

No I think you guys are getting confused about my idea.

All GWG guilds would be the same, just different people.

I wouldn't want people being left out of things they might think are better.

Lady~Bug · Mar 23, 2005, 04:36 AM // 04:36

I'm interested in the GWG idea and who would be allowed in each group.
