Everything is wiped, guilds, items, gold, even what your character's avatar. All that is left is your name which is reserved for you.
So it will be like playing for the first time but with a name reserved for you.

Pardon me if I seem rude. Quoting myself above, I stated that I was able to talk to Gaile. For those who know who Gaile is, then ignore what I am saying. For those who do not know who Gaile is, then listen up. Gaile works for ArenaNet. She is in contact with the developers/programmers. She always showed up in Lion’s Arch district 1 in the few last hours of each Beta Weekend Event (BWE). She would be the closest contact, and leading informer on what will be wiped and what will not be wiped. During the very last BWE, I asked her what would happen to the guilds, and would they be wiped as well. Her response to my question was, “No the guilds will not be wiped.” This means though your character is starting from scratch, it will still belong/lead any guild that you were in during the BWE, plus any per-order items/Divine Aura that your character may start with. So with a 97.0% confidence level (yes, I am using statistics now), I say that
GUILDS WILL NOT BE WIPED. I say 97%, because there is still the 2% possibility that at the very last second, the developers decided to wipe all the guilds from the server. In addition, there have been posts from above that come from GuildWars.com’s FAQ.
See DigitalX's post above for the quote pulled from the FAQ
Therefore, unless everyone in a guild deletes all of their characters off their accounts, then that guild should still exist. I noticed when a guild leader deletes all characters off his account; the system will appoint a new guild leader from the current membership.
