Really I see no problem with one man guilds. I use to be a one man guild for a cape but after a week two friends from CS bought the game... fast forward 1 month I now have a 30 person guild.

I think Talonrid should abolish his/her guild and just get rolled into some other super-sized corporate guild with the rest of the nameless and faceless sheep for the slaughterhouse.

That way one more guild name will be available for us one man guilds.

I am in a one person guild. Why? Wanted a cape. Why is that a big deal to you?

I would like to join a good guild and would give up my pretty cape for playing with cool people, but the game is too new to know which guilds are good and which ones are lame. I found this out by joining a lame one right off the bat, lol. It is VERY hard to know what kind of guild you are getting into. People just toss invites at you and don't care what kind of player you are. That isn't for me.

I'm not a one-man guild, I've got a two person guild - me and my husband. So nyah... :P We don't ask people to join our guild because we like spur-of-the-moment questing and sometimes we'd rather party with other guilds for fun.

Pre-Searing guilds shouldn't matter, it's easier to make the 2k for the capes in Pre-Searing since all your initial funds go towards gear once you get back to Old Ascalon.

I think the better solution is guild alliances, that way several guilds could co-op under the same "flag" when there aren't enough of one guild for a good solid game but enough from two guilds to form a single war party.

A guild does imply a band of people. So to sharpen out this idea: I think it should only take 2 people to start it with one selected leader. And if the other person leaves the guild goes inactive and they lose the cape. However the guild is not disbanded. If the leader recuits at least one person the guild is active again and they get there cape back.
I as the system is now one man guilds, though harmless, are confussing as hell. The cape (to me at least) signifies a team. But now that the its been implemented the way it has, its been used as a costumizable feature and the community will expect it to stay that way. I would have much preferred more costumizable or varity in armor and gear.
As far as names, maybe a inactive release or disbandment for guilds. But that just seems sort of harsh for some reason.

I think you should have to have 6 people online at the time to start the guild, 10K to start it. 15K for the cape and 50-100K for the hall.

That would weed out a bunch...

Also after it is made, this limit of it going below 6 is pointless and nothing should happen. Maybe have a 100GP a week fee to keep a guild. That would make it cheap enough to keep for the leader but if they all stop playing for a month they don't have a guild when they come back.

Lets say 10 members from a guild for others games all get Guild Wars at once and want to start playing together. Although it is pointless in pre-searing as far as grouping, it would make chatting easier.

Small guilds filled with silly inexperienced players just after a cape don't bother me. Guilds just need to put more effort into recruiting; there are websites to use, and in-game chat.

One idea would be to have a few global channels - one of these could be for guild recruitment.
