Hi,
As I can't find a list of guilds with their date of creation in guild wars, i post here to gather some intel?
I'm with the dutch Lowland Lions (LLL), founded on the 7th of januar 2005 during the early alpha/beta time.
Please post in here you're guild and the foundation date. I try to update the list to get an impression of which guilds are the oldest guilds alife.
Thanx
Didis

Zealots Of Shiverpeak 5th March 2005 (reported as first on wiki)

Omega Solution [oWo] has been around since October 11, 2005. Not the oldest but up there. Feel free to delete this post if the info isn't what you needed.

Zealots of Shiverpeak was the first guild I think. Ask Andrew Patrick to confirm.

Thats right, ZoS was the first guild ever, created by the devs for the devs.

Thread over.

Well I'd close it but I don't have mod privs here ^_^
didis
why close?
i think a dev guild does not count. It's about the community, not the company!

Yeah, ZoS is the oldest guild. It's not just a guild of devs, there are normal players in it too. I believe we have a moderator in ZoS.
Eldin
I think Zealots of Shiverpeak. Not only are devs in it, but if you look, the ZoS cape is worn by many of the players who are being recorded in some of GW's earliest gameplay videos, meaning they were around for some time.

The Charter Vanguard was founded on the 19th of May 2004, way before the game was launched. We might be among the oldest guilds.
Toffin
Will Work For Beer [WWFB] January 8, 2005. The Lead guild in my current alliance. The guild leader says it was made before then when they all played CS.
Silly Warrior
Jeremy Untouchable is a moderator who is in ZoS, ask him.

I'm not sure what to think of this topic, what is honest, and what not ..

You'd say the developers would know when the first guild was created, yet it still is claimed here other guild were founded way, waay before ZoS.
Although maybe there's a diffirence between first actual in-game guild and GW guilds created but not yet in game available.
*is puzzled

Originally a Savage Guild, a lot of members showed interest in Guild Wars and Dynasty Warriors [DW] (the Guild Wars division) was created on 29th of october 2004. participating in the Beta Events with success, placing 3rd on the world ladder in April 2005 ( http://www.eerden.org/screenshots/gw...yWarriors2.jpg )
Although toned down and partially waiting for GW2, they're still active in-game (as PvE guild though).
Dynasty Warriors, as a guild, was created in July 2003
however, it's well possible ZoS was the first created guild in-game (as in, through a guild registrar)

The wiki has to be wrong. I formed the Lords of Cabal during the February 2005 beta event, and I know there were guilds before me. I am pretty sure the GWonline guild was also formed during the February beta.

Thanx all for this discussion. Some are puzzled, some are founded befor the release of the game (incl. alfa en beta time), some were also founded during those cs days.
I think that i should refrase my question:
Which guild is the second oldest guild created during alpha/beta or after release date. The devs had a headstart
It's fun to know, on the other hand a list of guilds with their creation date also, so keep on coming with these dates.
thanx

Karas Hur created on 1/9/2005 one pretty old guild on GW . the guild itself is like 20 years old maybe more.

The oldest and largest guild would probably be the guildless guild. You know, people who choose not to be in a guild. Membership is large and always active. Plus everyone is their own leader.

The Amazon Basin (The Basin etc...)
The Basin (now 4 active guilds in its own alliance) was created on October 10th 2004 and was part of the closed alpha test. Ceolstan created the Guild within The Amazon Basin (a gaming community with alot of guilds) on the 10th. Nor sure when it was created inside GWs...although they were the first Guild of the Week and have a load of stuff named after them in game.
Not sure if this is applicable but it was a very early GWs guild and is still VERY active.

it says on my guild screen that our guild was created on June 23, 2005...though our creator is not active (uhm, his computer crashed and he has no money to get a new one) so my husband is guild leader now...I joined in Aug 2005 (was still out of the country in June)...Griffins Grove Ranger [GGR].
not even close to being the oldest, but my husband has been playing the whole time---since 6/05!

Why are there so many threads like this?
Zealots of Shiverpeak. Was made by the devs, though is not entirely dev-based nowadays. If you look at the older GW gameplay videos, you will see the players sporting that infamous cape.
My previous PvE guild, Rite of Passage, the leader and main officer met each other during beta days and made the guild a week after Prophecies came out, I believe.
