The guild in which I am an officer- Blade and Rose [BaR] was founded on May 10th, 2005. I'd say thats pretty old as still active guilds today go. But nowhere near the oldest.

We're still pretty active- we've had 52 of our 78 members on within the last week.

Natural Born Killaz came into being as a Delta Force 2 squad back in January, 2000. Ahh, the good old days of Tubetti World and Cold Pizza!

My guild registered in GW during the beta weekend in Feb of 2005. We've never been very big in GW, but have maintained a steady 10 or so fairly active members.

Several members of ~NBK~ switched over to that MMORPG that shall not be named and set up shop there.

P.S. To all active guilds over 3 years old: Congradulations! It takes a lot of work to keep a guild alive for that long, so kudos to you! /salute!

As you can see above, [PhD]'s relationship with [Dark] has a long history. My father took this screen shot back in the 80's, when I was 2 years old. I am still trying to master his pro-ness. Being in PhD has helped me immensely in reaching the peak of ultimate pro-ness(good thx to the capt.)

We are talking about only Guild Wars guilds when you formed your guild in GW not any other games.That would mean THE BBF would be older than your but not by GW time.

You're right. I edited my post and combine it with my first post (plus bonus material) that I on page one (since deleted).

6 years!?! O.O

Is there any actual thing on the guild saying the leader joined on that date?

fenix · Jun 18, 2009, 06:26 AM // 06:26

There isn't. As I mentioned before, ZoS shouldn't count as the oldest guild.

As it was made by developers, they were able to make the game before anyone else was able to. The guild itself doesn't actually have the creation date as being in 2003, because it was remade during the open beta, but it seems ZoS members like to hang on to the fact that their guild existed in Alpha.

The sad thing, is that there are probably a couple of guilds that existed briefly in 2002, maybe earlier, when they were developing the guild system.

That says 1984 nice try as I graduated from high school the prior year.

Sjeng · Jun 18, 2009, 07:18 AM // 07:18

it's actually a real screenshot, there was a bug some time ago that screwed up the dates. Everyone had that. He was just kidding.

You're welcome, Tom. Your bravery and manliness are a credit to our (incredibly old) guild.

29th Oct 2004
Charter Vanguard [CV] the guild, which had grown significantly since its first ad, is first created in-game with Astral Deathseer as its leader. About this time, the guild also finds a new home in official fansite Guild Wars Ogaming where its members begin to host several forum role-plays that they might participate in in-between alpha and beta tryouts.

Until someone pointed out, I forgot that the best way to look at it was the guild founder's join date!

The Council of Iris [Iris], formed in Ragnarok online originally, but founded in Guild Wars on May 15, 2005.

Currently, two active members.

Spaced Invader · Jun 18, 2009, 09:36 PM // 21:36

The Omega Circle [OC] was founded in March 2004, when I joined the Alpha. One by one I was allowed to invite more of our members into Alpha.
Our Highpoint was reaching the Top10 during the E34E-event, when we were able to dominate the less prepared first timers. Until we got owned pretty hard by more worthy guilds like The Fianna.

Alas, for the past few years it's only been me who's left around.

@ Sjeng:

Would just like to point out that the "bug" to which you refer was actually homage paid to [PhD] by Anet on the anniverssary of its inception and, therewith, the birth of Pro. At the conclusion of this reverent celebration this touch of [PhD] was rescinded and all other guilds were left to their own, shorter and inferior, histories.

chris1234565 · Jun 21, 2009, 11:58 AM // 11:58

Im In TDS and from what i see its still old and active as there is players who joined at the start of May 05

Note the guy was made somtime in March 2005 by the orginal leader who no longer plays

Pariah · Jun 21, 2009, 05:18 PM // 17:18

I founded the Lords of Cabal [LoC] on Feb 20th, 2005 during the betas.

lilDeath · Jun 21, 2009, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Isn't LLL - Low Land Lions (??) - also one of the oldest player guilds, from beta days back in January 2005? I think they are Dutch or German, not too sure.

Gaile still attended their 3 year anniversary last year in their Guild Hall iirc.

This is my Guild Roster Screenshot

It says designated which he formed it on as I posted in my first post.

Swords of Night and Day (SWRD) has been around for 3.5 years and still has very active members.

Kendel · Jun 23, 2009, 12:30 AM // 00:30

My guild Lievs Death Squad [LDS] was created on the 6th May '05. Only a few are still in it from back then though i'm sure a few more have since come back, but theres still a considerable number from the 06-07 era.
