How many Guilds can my characters join?

If I understand it right, my character can only join one guild at a time.

If one of my characters joins a guild, are my other characters automatically members of the same guild?

If not, can they each join a different guild of their own?

So, if I have 8 characters, can they join 8 guilds between them?

Once one of your characters joins a guild, all characters on that same account are in that guild.

Guilds are account based so 8chars=1Guild

Edit: damn you Kosar

Thanks for the replies...

I was hoping my PvP character could join a PvP Guild and my Pre-Searing character could join a Guild based there, etc.

But it's not to be

It is to be in GW2

Usually I'd say that offering more flexibility with guilds is a good thing, but in this case it feels unwieldy. Bear in mind that GW is a game which is very alt-friendly, with players commonly having 8+ active characters. I enjoy being able to see that Timmy is trying out a new ritualist this week or that Jill brought her mesmer out of retirement. Having separate guilds for each character would incorrectly make it seem like some people are just inactive accounts.

Got a source?

Sauces

12chars.

Ahhh, Thanks for the link!

From that source:
" Weapon use in Guild Wars 2 is restricted by profession. There are indeed professions that use guns, bows, or both, as well as some professions that can use neither. If a player wants to wield a bow they will certainly have multiple professions to choose from"

Hmm I dunno about that, everyone uses bows to aggro will this be gone?

Hopefully, yes.
