I was in a one man guild for a while, then I joined a guild which had people arguing all the time, then another was a guild of noobs, another said they were allied with lux but the leader wouldnt be on for a month to ally them, but this has to be my favorite:
Someone was recruiting in LA with the following message [---] has a cape, hall, and over 500,000 faction!! Well I didnt really care about the faction and joined to see it said 200,000 faction. I said since when does 500k mean 240,000 faction? And the leader kicked me...
now im in one with my friend who plays once and a while but maybe ill make a one man guild and join an alliance of one-manned guilds =P.
Has anyone else created their own guild of 1?

Heh, making my own guild right now. Not sure if I actually want to make a guild, or just look cool with a tag and a cape 
Whenever I join a guild, its either inactive, has a bunch of immature idiots or the closes.

try joining pvp oriented guilds... those contain immature idiots that actually get things done ^_^

an alliance of 1 man guilds would be pretty cool honestly

I've been in the same guild my entire GW Career. At first it was just me and my Dad, until, about 6 months later, all my friends bought the game and joined. Since then one has left and formed a one man guild, and no longer plays, one barely ever comes online, and one has taken over from me as leader and basically started recruiting everything that walks. So apart from these few friends of mine we have three active members, two of which are Danish.
Yeah, i could do worse.

Lol I probably spent a grand total of 40k on renaming guild/recaping guilds I was in. It was 1 man so none of it really mattered in the end...I'm currently in my own guild but its for real now, I love the cape, love the name, thinking of buying a hall and maybe recruiting some friends or something

So far i've had two one man guilds.
first one was called "Cripple Cart Racers [CCR]", which was really just randomness if anything.. And my current one is "The Mullet Is Superior [TMiS]".. because i have a mullet
But it's great. The recent guilds i've been in haven't really been what i'm looking for.. plus i got a hall for doing AB's
Any Luxon one man guilds looking for an alliance?

Me and my friend started our own guild and bought a cape and guild hall at the isle of meditation and r u going to recruit a few nice players and keep it small, and i did hate the random invites i constanly got when i logged in.

Me, a Friend and our kids in one Guild, I also have another Guild of my own with just me in on my Spare Account which is allied with the main one
Both Guilds have Capes, Halls with a Storage Agent and Merchant, and it suits me fine having no other members as then I dont have to put up with any idiots.
Only problem I have is that people assume I'm in some Dutch Guild as the initials are the same (DooD), and I keep getting pm'd in Dutch all the time with hilarious results as I don't speak any Dutch so I reply by ordering a sandwich or a hotel room with a bathroom in French and waiting for the confused reply at the other end

I didn’t create the guild I’m in, but I now own it.
One by one the members left, and eventually the former leader made me leader and then left.
So now I’m part of a one person guild and have been for quite some time.
For a long while I’ve felt that if I left it would be a bit of a waste to lose the few things we collected (cape, guild hall, and an npc or two) which were hard to get in the past. Haha.. used to be 90k-60k for a sigil and we never got into PvP’ing. I’ve been here since the beta and never been in a GvG
It’s been getting a bit dull though going around with just henchies and PuGs that just rush to get the mission done, so I was thinking about leaving and looking for another guild. But after reading through these posts, I think I’ll stay in my one person guild since I don’t want random guild invite spam and it sounds like good guilds are hard to find.

Just checked with Sigil Trader - 12K so theres never been a better time to make a 1 man Guild complete with Hall.
Those people who say they have 30 odd members and are currently saving for a hall must really waste money as how long does it take to make 12K

I have my own also
My situation is much like tifaRockheart's. The only investment other than Guildhall + cape my guild has ever made was when a friend of mine bought us the Xunli Agent upgrade.
Except my reason was that I wanted my own cape >_> Some of my friends did join but they all havn't been on for 1 month +
It really does get "lonely" and boring sometimes (I don't talk to anyone in Alliance) but oh well, that's the price for having my own cape
EDIT: Just got a pretty stupid idea, I say we all 1-Man guilds form an alliance oh but then I bet most of you are already in an alliance

Made one during the HA weekend. Alliance shouts for HA made me mad (and the shouts at each other because some idiot posts "HA team forming, meet at gh" and he goes of to wait in HA, leaving us afk ppl to explain to the people arriving that we are in fact not the ones starting a HA group.
Things are good in my new solo guild though :P
EDIT:
now 23 guildies strong and growing

Having your own 1 man guild owns imo. Rule free, schedule free, noob free, "active"-players-that-join-then-leave-after-two-days-for-months-on-end free, and you can use the guild announcement as a notepad. I'm so tempted to make one now

I have a 1 man luxon guild (for AB). Get to choose the name, the initials and importantly the cape. I had a fine time wandering all the guild isles to choose which one I wanted, and I'm considering adding storage to the hall. As Mars just said, also comes with handy notepad which I use to remind myself to do the things I keep forgetting to do.
As for the 1 man guild alliance I'd be up for that. Anyone organising it give me a shout.

Yeah same here, I also made my own cape. A sort of 'anti-guild.' But I usually tell people that I'm not interested in real guilds and I just registered one to make a cape to go along with my armor. In the guilds I've been in before, the capes were usually a mismatch anyways.
First guild I was in, not much happening. Second one, same thing, kinda vague. Third one, the leader was hardly ever on to check on things. Fourth one, got a little into guild hall scrimage, but the potential of the guild was limited. Basically to stay in to be nice would be holding me back. Not to be rude or stuck up or anything. But if I aspire to battle in the Hall of Heros, which I kinda do, I may consider joining a guild later on that can help me do that. And in exchange they get another member and I can help with faction and such.
But for now, I'm out of the guild stuff. There are some lack of resources such as hitting the guild chat to see if someone can join you to help with something. But that's okay. Maybe I'll be into that later on, maybe. It depends on how often I play GW from time to time.
My cape doesn't have a symbol or image on it. Just plain red with a white pattern on it, like you see in PvP. But it's a red cape with a white ^ shape across it. My armor is red. And that's fine.

Maybe I am biased, I have been in two guilds, one I created with a friend (classic 2-man guild..lol) and the one I'm in now. If it weren't for the guild I am in now I probably would have stopped playing this game long ago.
Tincanbilly0
I started a one man guild, which soon turned into a 4 man guild for my mates at school.

I made my own Guild and have GH and storage.Yes it would be more fun to have a group of people who like to PVE and arent afraid to help each other out.Well besides Northwall or Ft.Ranik (SP).But I havent had the luck so I went solo.No recruiters playing guild tag..) No spam.Friendly helpful guild that PVE's and GVG's.No FF requirements.That is true till you join and then it is we expect so much faction,get your butt up to GVG.Doesnt matter that I always let recruiter know.I dont GVG or FF.Sorry forgot to give Rant warning...)Anyhow better to run solo and help others out when you can.

Perkunas
This is an intersting thread. I have 2 accounts, and 2 guilds. My main account was me and a close personal friend. We started it just to have a cape and to keep people from begging us to join theirs. We have since grown to 9 members. The first joined for the same reason as our founding reason, to keep recruiters off them. Since then, he invited a friend, and the friend invited one, etc. As long as they are happy, then I let them be.
My second account is for my private time playing. My Guild is "Single Old Lazy One" [SOLO}. Again to keep the recruiters off me. I like to help people, but there are times when I want time to do 'my thing'. In my main account guild, OnlyUs [NotU], many want handouts, not help, and get a lil 'pissy' when I don't give. So I take a week off from 1 account and play the other. This way, I can work all 14 characters and keep the peace too.

Kitharin
I've been in a coupple of Guilds, the first one when i was a n00b, i was the most active person, the second one was ok (i only really joined to stop getting "Z0MG uR liek lVl 20... PWEZ PWEZ join mai guild!" messages...) they were a nice enough bunch, 'cept for the fact that i kinda like doing missions/quests on my own... i kinda got sick of the constant "let me help U!" or "PLZ Help mi!" messages (wow, what sounds so anti-social lol)
So i left and made my own 2 person guild - just my BF and I... we spent ages on the cape and are working on getting the hall we both like! It's really nice, our guild is like our characters home.

Great guilds to exist. I was part of one for some time. Sadly people got bored of waiting for factions to come out and decided to take time off gw. Well, most of them have now found interest in some other game.
I started my own 1 person guild. Bought a hall/npcs (mostly for the convenience) and cape. Invited a good friend to join me. I really enjoy playing without much of the drama that from my experience comes with being in a larger guild... especially one focused on pvp and like everyone else without being invited to join guilds I know nothing about. I do however miss hanging out with more people I know and can rely on. Miss the good times in pvp as well.

I have a 2-person guild. It started because the other member's daughter wanted a cape on the ele she'd gotten to name. So he created a cape and then a guild and invited me to join. We had a third member for a while, but he stopped playing the game, so after 4 months of not logging on, we kicked him.
Another one joined and left after a few months, mainly due to time zone differences. I don't actively recruit because I don't want to spend my game time settling guild problems.
Both of us have Prophecies and Factions and, between us, we have 14 level 20 characters spread across all the professions (except I don't have an ele or sin). We've recently added some NPCs to the hall, because I got tired of running around cities looking for the ones I wanted. We use TS when we are both on whether we are gaming together or separately. It helps when you can complain to a real person without annoying the party with whom you are doing a quest or mission. (I have a thing about MMs lack of control of their minions.)
So I enjoy my small guild and, if it grows, it will be accidental.

Lord Thud
Small guilds are great! We've had a 4-player guild since Prophecies launched. And I think the alliance feature has made it better. We have had various alliances with small guilds (2-players, 6-players, etc.). Sometimes they fade away without warning but we just pick up another. It lets you keep your personal guild and still have a few folks out there to PvE with.
Trader of Secrets
I have the same problem. I'm in a guild and I help others, then I asks for some kind of help and no response. It makes me feel like I am guildless. I just want a mature guild that is helpful and actually does something together, like farming.
One thing though is that we can form a guild right here, searching for people who want the same expectations for their guilds. Why not?!

no wonder i never see the same guilds twice throughout my whole 700+ hours online.... it dont matter, lol, ill just pm ppl wit capes already to see if they are a one man guild. PLz dont take me seriously
DomoniBellumMaximus
YEa i did the same thing, and now my guild is 12 ppl with 4 alliance members, from just screing around, i mean lots of stuff happens, but yea, i wouldn't suggest trying to start your own serious guild, cuz you have to be pretty good to make one grow, so only start ur own guild if you want it to stay small unless you're amazing and willing to spend a lot of time helping ppl out
SoliceMoon
I created my own guild once just cause i wanted a cape. lol. Buti've been in a pve guild now for almost a year. Its pretty small. just like 30 active members are so. I'm not leaving it anytime soon if ever.

I formed a 3-man guild for a couple friends and I, tired of the immaturity of larger guilds. We are open to more people, but since I want to keep the guild small, mature, fun, etc., I'm very picky. >.>
Edit: Also 'cause I wanted a beaver cape. Hellzyaus.

With the introduction of hero's, for the PvE'r this is a more viable option than ever. So fewer people group with other's anymore in PvE there's little point being in a PvE guild. If you're a PvP person a guild is still the way to go. Heroway in HA or even worse PuG'ing just is no substitute for a guild group.
9th Requiem
After my guild switched guild halls to Wizard's Isle, I joked about making my own guild just so I could fulfill my lifelong dream of having Isle of the Dead for once. After joking about it though, I got thinking, and then decided on actually doing it. My main account is still in the same guild, my other account owns the guild I made, and I guest myself to spend time there. I also used it to let me AB for the other side.
Hopefully I can soon conn the rest of the alliance to get my vanity guild in, to get the best of all worlds - great hall, great cape, the egotistical glow of being the leader, but still the benefit of good grouping.

In my "guild" there are only 2 members and those are myself and a long time friend of mine. I dont want to be part of any larger guild, because it feels like that everybody i encounter in this game, are immature little kids who dont do anything else but swear at every sentence they make. Or people just are so unfriendly if you dont know what some word like FoW, PUG or aggro mean.
But it feels that i am too unlucky with human contacts in this game. Some people have made many friends playing this game. I have made only one in my 12 month playing period.

I imagine this is a common thing - there are a lot of people not happy with their guild, and a lot of people who have no idea what your average guild is like. I think I'd be doing the same thing if I didn't have my current guild.
I'm in a small guild that's mostly family and friends. We're a casual guild, we don't put requirements on people, everyone can be themselves, and no one really pesters other people (we have forums for people to ask for help, but most of our people are really independant). Honestly, I think it's underestimated how great a small quiet or even 1 man guild can be. I'd tried spending some time in another more "active" guild, and I felt like I couldn't cut loose or be myself because people would get offended. So I stick with my group of people who just... well aren't easily offended.
And in a one man guild, you only have yourself to offend.
