Logged back into the game recently for the anniversary event and saw that I founded my guild on 6/14/05. It was semi active for the first fews months now it is just me as everyone either left or stopped playing.
So I was wondering what some of the oldest guilds were that are around, and have at least some activity, even if it is just one guy.
Oldest guilds?

ZoS one of the oldest guilds ever

The Amazon Basin is also one of the oldest guilds in Guild Wars.
Orang3kun
Riders of the Mark was created in Feb. 2005
Though I'm the only active left in the guild (=\)
I pretty much keep it around merely cause I don't know of many pre-launch guilds still in existence; maybe there's more out there that I don't kno of tho.

My guild (The Black Cats) has been around since the 9th of Jan, 2005, but it has never been very active. My brother and I are the only active players left.

Unless those guilds were made in beta and followed through into live then they couldn't have been made before April of 05. At least not their GW branches. Pretty sure the game wasn't released until the last week of April at that. Well considering the whole anniversary thing was April 23 or 25 then that would be a good guess.

I think MoX is old.

You are correct wiz, GW released in April '05, but those that were in beta were allowed at one point to create guilds and then keep them as the transition from beta to launch was made.
Nice Immortius, I hadn't found a guild older than mine until now. Good tah know that there's still some pre-launch guilds out there.

I think there's a lot of 1 man guilds from april '05, people that tried the game for the single player campaign, never really got into the whole community aspect of it, and then quit.
My guild is also from april '05, still mostly active, with ups and downs. With all the millions of copies sold, there's bound to be thousands upon thousands of guilds that are about that old, even if many of them are probably inactive. A small part of a large group can still be a considerable amount.

Not sure, I just went by the oldest join date.

ZoS IS the oldest guild.
my guild leader frostraven confirmed this many times.
there are some guilds that are near our creation date, but we are the oldest, created in the alpha testing of guildwars. ( 6 years ago or something, 20th october 2003)

Zos is the oldest because of the Alpha testing, But they can not really be included in this because of the fact that it was made before anyone else had the chance to make a guild. As for some other old guilds Pirate Wenches {Yarr} was made the first day in beta that a guild could be made. Unfortunatly there is only a second acc keeping the guild up as everyone has left the guild or stopped playing. Pro Hiberna {Ftw} is also one of the oldest guilds in the game made about 2 hours after Pirate Wenches.

Girl Power is pretty old. Our website says it formed during the first World Preview event at E3, but I wasn't around then so I can't say whether that's true. Maybe that's when the guild's founders first played together... dunno. The guild has definitely been around since the beta.
I'm the most active member at the moment. Others pop on occasionally. Everyone is waiting for GW2.

10/20/2003? NICE! But my question did they let you carry over your guild into beta then the actual release date? If so hmmmm 6 year mini's?
Or did they delete ZoS then you guys had to re-create it during beta?

. The oldest join date on the current roster is January 9, 2005. We are semi-active as a guild and alliance which means that you can find people logged in at any time, and when there's something interesting happening it's a crowd out there. However, most players are waiting for GW2 and playing other games meanwhile (we still stay in touch through guild websites).

Yea I remember some of those names now, Yarr and FTW for sure. Was a couple others but I don't usually look for tags these days. And I am not PvPing like I used to either. So you miss out on a lot of peopel right there.

Sacred Knights Of Orr (SKoO) was born when GW first came out, 4 of the people played Beta as well. Though the oldest person joined 6/1/05. So SKoO is pritty old. The guild is somewhat active, people have come and gone. Where basicly small as well.

La Legion Del Dragon [LD], I think I have the odlest join date atm Jan06, but it was formed around Jul/Aug05 I think. We're still active and have steady 40+ members.

ZoS doesn't count as the oldest guild because it was made by devs.
One of the guilds I was in was made in 2005, which is sort of old I guess...

Amazon basin formed in Diablo2 2000 (hence the name)
420th Infantry division(CDXX) formed 2003
Probably lots more old guilds out there that formed in games prior to GW

Heya Padre! good to see you again. I see you've found your new guild to be to your liking ^^
My guild was created at june 5th 2005, and is still very active. I'm pretty happy about that ^^
We're a Dutch/Belgian guild, in a NL/BE alliance. PvE oriented, around 70 members.
If I'd known about GW earlier, I would have tried to get into the beta as well, but this is my first MMO (and only so far), and back then I was more into FPS and RTS.
I'm gonna try to get into the GW2 beta if I can. Definately gonna play it the day it officially launches.
