Has anyone else created their own guild of 1?

tF now has 2 of my friends in it. Also am slowly putting stuff in the hall xD

My boyfriend and I are the only members of our guild. I've been in several large ones and they all disbanded and became inactive so I gave up and we just got our own place. Guild is called: Fabric of Existence [ohGr]
Just the two of us
Got ourselves a hall with a merchant and a storage agent, so it's all good.

I was in a very fine guild about 8 months ago. However I went off to
play another online game and so left the guild.
Recently I have been playing GW again and so I created my own guild because I have two accounts.
Maybe someday I'll recruit or disband. It depends on how much I start
playing GW again.
It's cozy Isle of Solitude storage and a merchant

one man guild.....so pathetic
Eldin
Let me tell you all a tale.
A friend referred me to GW where he made his own guild - The Warlords. Him and I were the only members, and contrary to what he claimed he had never gotten past the Northern Shiverpeaks.
...then I joined a really good guild. However a few hiatuses and whatnot made me decide to leave (plus the wide array of timezones made it hard to find a large group of people).
I made my own guild of one, though it was not intended to be that way. A friend of mine was to be co-leader. My friend was into GW for about one week, quit, and then, around the time we made this guild, he was back into it - and more dedicated than ever.
Then the lazy bum lost interest in GW (he hates it for very stupid reasons, so stupid he doesn't even deserve to hate it). I decided to just join a new guild.
However since I've been dabbling in Steam games I decided I will be solo until GW2 - when my passion for Guild Wars will be renewed 200%.
My GW-hating friend fears that day...
In the meantime, I may make my one-man guild again just because I keep getting Guild Offers whenever I go into a crowded town.

I once created: Last of the Least [LOL]
which everyone mistook for the other LoL, but we ended up being 3 people
I've also created one today as a joke for the Jora Fans at gwiki, called it: Jora Is [HOT] haha, now the name is taken

mine is called Pathetic Union of Gimps [PUG]. originally supposed to be a casual pug gvg guild, but i never gotten around to actually do pug gvg with it.
now i just use it for alliance battles. nothing like being able to switch sides on a whim so i never have to fight on the short end of the biased maps.

I once had a "guild of one" with a lovely hall (My personal favorite, the Frozen) & cape that suited my characters. This was the only reason for having a solo guild After a while, I disbanded the guild, because I began to think that if you wanted to go it alone, you shouldn't have a guild at all, to let others know that, by seeing your lack of a tag. I seemed to get more respect in PuGs (Not like it matters, really) but eventually settled in a guild with friends.

I think one man guilds are rather sad, because to me it says that you have given up on finding a group of good players to play with.
For me guild wars is so much more enjoyable when you have a group of people that you get to know and like, to play with and if you don't feel like talking to anyone there you can just appear offline.

i was stuck with a group with a few good peope and many, many idiots, and i just didnt want to deal with that again as they were spoiling the game for me.

one of the guilds in my alliance is a one man guild. He has his own hall and has spent a lot on getting it decked out so hes not willing to just leave it. This is an option quite a few people take i think.

Having led a large guild as well as led a full 10-guild alliance in the past, I've seen life from both sides.
My guild is now comprised of me alone.
I have an awesome cape, awesome guild name, awesome guild hall (Isle of the Dead) which has the most convenient npc layout, and all the npcs, and I'm (currently) aligned with Kurziks for AB access.
I can tell you it's nice.
Precious, precious silence in guild and alliance chat.
No alliance players for whom you have no boot control.
No constant petty disputes among 16yr olds that need monitoring.
If I want to have fun with other players I pug. Get my fill of juvenile behavior, and then go into the deep recesses of my silent world again.
The OP's idea of having an alliance of one-man guilds though sounds intriguing. I'm not a total misanthrope.

Im in a 2 person one with my gf....
Its rather nice We dont have to worry about a bunch of people with attitudes and other things that we really dont care to deal with anymore. Basically put, no more drama!
downside is, when we want to do large group things, we dont have anyone, but it all works out somehow. You can do everything in game with heroes anyways

I've created my one an guild once... it was fun but after some time, you want to talk with someone dunno stuff like this... ATM I'm looking for a small PvE guild new guild. The problem with the olds guilds is that they don't know you well so they ignore you in most of cases...

I was in my own one-man guild for a year and a half. I didn't like PvP and thought that was the only reason for having a guild. All guilds I saw recruiting were heavy into PvP, focused on rank and faction and whatnot. I didn't have factions until recently so there was nothing for me to get into.
Now that I have Factions I'm in a rather large guild/alliance, and I still don't PvP much. I'm kinda one of the PvE gurus for Proph and factions, helping out and running where I can.

Me and My son are the only 2 in our guild, we recently had a Member recruit for another account of his guild, and most ask to be exited, some where kicked by immaturity on there behalf, and our alliance just kicked 3 "non" PvP guilds including us, even tho me and my son PvP when we can/have time.
were currently just trying to finish PvE in both modes, i have done all campaigns(excluding GWEN) in Normal Mode and my son who only started 3 months ago has finished prophecies twice in normal mode, finished faction but the deleted his assassin(due to alot of abuse from in game players), so now he is trying to get his warrior threw NF and Factions but finds himself doing Prophecieshard mode few of the times, or doing Tombs with his ranger.
well what im saying is its better to have small guilds, I'd be happy to let others join but it seems as tho people wanna join big guilds and never be helped(well 50% of the time they will not help)...the whole reason i started a guild was due to never being helped and i have always Vowed if any 1 in my guild needs help i will be the one to help them, and my son loves helping people(that say thank you) threw alot of prophecies or early factions, or early night falls, me on the other hand can help in any area of any of the mentioned campaigns(Will be getting GWEN on thursday)

I don't think I will be in a multi-player guild again as most times when I need to get someone to play with I whisper friends on my list or just pickup random pugs. Better trade-off than guild dramas.
And always remember the game is Buildwars and not Guildwars!

Yes me and Azza are both in United Farmers Of Europe[FOE](play american-english server)....and yes the quiteness of non 16 year olds arguing or members who get help and dont say thanx then leave the guild once u help them threw 4-8 missions(depending on how much time i have).
But between the constant arguing and the guild hoppers i just dont bother to recruit anymore, altho i was thinking of recruiting some PvP players!!

I had a one man guild for a while... tried to recruit but people lacked the patience to stick with it... so I disbanded it.
I think I'm going to pick up another copy of prophecies some time and make an extra account to hold on to a guild hall for when I want to AB, unless I find a good guild that I want to join.

I just made myself the leader of my very own guild!
I mostly wanted a cape of my own design a little less spam from plzplzplz join my guild type people and a taste of leadership maybe
It was 1 man for about five minutes and then a friend joined from my previous guild and then another friend who just started guild wars a few days ago joined a few hours after.
Now we only need the material and rare material trader for our hall too I feel like it was a great idea going it alone, and i could always allience with some others i suppose or recruit more people isf it gets a little too quiet or fancy a change.

congrats T1 on your new guild!
my suggestion: keep it small. friends only. this is the best kind of guild.
also, don't join an alliance...if someone in another guild is being really nasty, you can't boot them and have no control.

Made a one man guild more then a year ago, now it is a two man (my brother joined it) guild with a guild hall and services. I was tired of getting kicked of each guild because I hadn't logged in for a week and if I didn't have a guild I got spammed...
Think it is quite relaxed, don't need to log on often, no requests for help, no weird guild members and hero's and hench never complain. My brother playes guild wars once every 2-3 weeks and only farms, does RA or 1vs1 so he can't complain about the guild leader being offline too often.

Yeah, after coming back from around a 5 month break, i had some cash to blow off so i made one. I just wanted to make my own cape temporarily until i found a decent guild again. It was named "One Mahn Gild" [OMG] I got a kick out of the tag when i noticed it .

Ok so whos for a HUGE alliance of 1 man guilds
the lesser
along with everyone else, i too have a one man guild. but whats the benefit for having a guild hall for a one man guild?
its funny, ive thought about joining a real guild but the one thing holding me back is i love my cape! its too fresh an it was designed by me. nuff said.
im down with the one man guild alliance, hit me up!

I think an alliance of one-man guilds is a great idea as well. Could be the largest alliance going as I'm sure there's lots of em out there.
SeraCombi
the two best reasons for an alliance of one-man guilds, imo:
1. Easier for solo players to dual team (2 human players + heroes) for areas like DOA.
2. Keep your autonomy, and your peace. When you want to be alone, just turn off alliance chat.

Add them to ignore might just be the key though but dont tell anyone i said that |
"EDIT"
I had one or two messages in game i've added a couple of small guilds to the alliance and so i thought, Go on why not recruit some more: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10203309
If you are interested stick your name down /Pm me or whatever get's my attention
you know you are welcome.

I tried it once, and it definetly felt weird, being the leader and all. The only reason I'm not doing it now is because I have dreams of being in a top 100 guild one of these days. Having a 1-man definetly has it's advantages though.
ljperkins
I created a guild for myself and my husband as we hated the pressure of having to be on or otherwise we may get kicked. We found a great alliance that is made up of couples and families so we were lucky. I would love to be able to add like minded people to our guild but if it doesn't happen we will be a happy Guild of two

When I first started out I had the Guild "Ironhorse Brigade" all to myself. Then I formed the "Fourth Infantry Division (IVID). I joined a pretty big guild for a while. I have since formed a 1 person Guild called "Light Infantry Brigade (LI). There are actually 3 members, my 10 year old daughter, who is never on, my brother, who is currently in Iraq and never on, and me. It's more of a 1 actual player guild with 3 members. My daughters character is 22 months old and still level 3 in presear with less than 1 hour playing time. (Her Mommy doesn't like video games much.)

my 2 man guild has become a 1 man guild with 2 members;
as he has decided to focus on playing WoW more, he'll be back, at least for the special events; so technicaly its just me in my guild now.

It would be wicked if all the 1 person guilds combined into 1 big alliance with 1000 members :P

I completely forgot all about the 10 guild limit I cant really think of a way around it either, looks like the first guilds to apply are the lucky or unlucky ones depends on how you look at it i suppose.

@T1Cybernetic: I'm a 1 man guild guy and took a look at your post, but since you're in the UK and I'm in the US I doubt we'd be able to play together much. But it is a good idea, even with just 10 "guilds."
