Has anyone else created their own guild of 1?

Unfortunately I have been in and have left several guilds.

I will not bore you with the reasons other than to say that even advanced age of members and officers/guild leaders does not = maturity.

Every time I have been guildless I have been hounded with requests to join guilds while I am in a town or a PuG.

I try to give a polite reason as to why I do not want to just acccept any old inviataion to join a guild. However, this can often lead to the inviter getting mad and using insulting language etc. etc. Im sure u know the story. I have accepted a few invitations like this but it has never gone well.

SO this time for 2100 gp I decided to form my own guild.

I named it
I designed the cape
I have a cape and a tag

no one knows I am the only member and no one asks me to join a guild

I can take my time to look for another guild if I choose - or I can just stay as I am. I have several good frinds that have scattered to other guilds after the breakup of a guild we were all in - maybe they will join me in my guild one day

I know its quiet but no more so than if I was guildless.

Have many other done this?

Are there any allinaces of mature players with very low number guilds.
That is something I hasve considered looking into.
I know there are some very low member guilds and wonder if there are allinces I might join.


- so for now Im curious if any other low member guilds are out there, and are happy to remain small ?

I prefer to be unaffiliated and got tired of all recruit offers so I started my 1 man guild. And I love it, I have friends in other guilds and when they need my help the pm and invite me. Works fine and I get left alone when I want to be alone.

I resort to the same thing everytime I look for a new guild.

Was a one man guild for four months until someone wanted to join.

I had like 6 guilds of wich 2 were of real success and i made lots of friends... But now i like 2 lay low and stay under some1 else's command. Ppl get tired and old u know, and leading a PvE guild is far easyer than leading a PvP one where standards are in most of cases at top. Take my adivce man, start a guild if u start it with v close friends but dont lead it... It's tireing GL

I created my own one-man guild, but now it's a two-man guild.

I started a guild, it was by myself for about 10 minutes, then my friend joined me. Then we disbaned it and joined SFK.

Same story than the OP here. I left my guild one month ago maybe. Yesterday I finally got too tired of the random PMs to join xxx guild. I even bought a guild hall, eh! Sigil are cheap nowadays...

Lol

Sir Mad - Ive been thinking of getting a guild hall too.

I actually have a second account with 4 characters that are just for storage that I invited into my guild - If my main account ever joins another guild the storage account can keep my guild alive.



Thanks for the stories!

I made my own personal guild also. It was so incredibly peaceful. Then I got lonely and begged a friend to invite me into his guild. It's been fun, and I'm glad I joined his guild. If I'm ever guildless again, I'll just remake mine and all will be well once more.

I had my Kaguya Connection running for quite a while until I found a fun guild to join, so I suppose 1-man guilds are pretty common in the end.

Much nicer to play (especially as a monk) when you have a guild tag behind you, much less of the "hay lolks want to join our UBAR GUILD OF SUPAR STUFF"-spam. :b

I dunno, it just sounds lonely to me. One of the great aspects of GW is the community and interaction with guildies/allies. Henchies are OK but kinda boring, PUGs can be OK but are often more of a pain with griefers and quiters.

Find a good guild home, it is the better option.

As true as that is, it's not always as easy as it sounds.

i did that once (and GAHH it was such a bore) but i helped formed ninja school http://www.ninjaschool.org :P

When i was pve i had my own guild for a while, just because i got fed up of guilds and random invites. Cant remember the name but the tag was [oNe]

I did the same thing. Playing my monk through the missions when I was starting him made everyone try to invite me. I got irritated and started my own just to stop the invites. No longer though; I've joined another guild.

I do the same thing
though this time, I've been burning all my money on dye combos for my ritualist's armor

yup the exact same thing happened to me. The first guild i created had around 50 people then i left that because i stopped playing gw for awhile. then had been in and out of randoms. then decidedto go guildless but got bombarded with join guild requests so i just created my own.

Maybe Anet should put in something to let people block guild invites without having to have a guild...

It's more about random PMs to join a guild than guild invites. People generally don't send blind invites - I got maybe 2 or 3 and that's not that annoying as all you have to do is to click "refuse invitation". However, having people PMing whenever you are in a town, or in PvP, or in missions with PUGs is kinda boring.

You know, when I was in my last guild, I spend more time with the members of the guild I had before than with my guildies. I didn't want to join it again because I know how it works and don't like it, and to be honnest there are a few people in it I'd rather not play with. But you don't feel lonely nor have to PUG everything if you have a long friend list...
