Guild leader questions

Since this game is not character oriented, i mean that you can delete and restart a new character at anytime, what's gonna happens if someone is leader of a guild and he decide to restart a new character for some reason.
Is the guild going to be disbanded ? or can the leader designate a 'to be the next leader' character. it would be sad to disband a good guild just because u screwed your first char.
Also can a leader add his own other characters to the guild ? so he can choose what char to use for a certain PvP or GvG.
And how many characters are allowed to be in a guild ?
Are there an assistant system ? like character that are allowed to invite other characters or are allowed to take some action concerning the guild itself.
if there is such 'assistant' system what privilege have they ?

ty for your help,
or else i will have to find out myself tomorow

I had this experience, I deleted the original character that I made and it was the "leader" of our clan and I did not have the foresight to appoint a new one before hand. So the game automatically appointed a new leader, the second member that joined the Guild since I had not appointed officers yet.
Membership in the Guild IS tied to your account so one character in means ALL of your characters are in.
There are officers you appoint and they have some admin rights that would include the ability to invite another Character to join.
Beyond that not sure if the situation has changed since last Beta so good luck.

If the guild leader leaves, the leadership will be passed on to the next officer(dunno how they decide that though) if the leader didn't appoint any officers, the guild is disbanded.

Oops, chalt2 already beat me to it

It's not the leader's character but the leader's account that matters. As long as he doesn't remove himself from the guild, he'll be considered as leader no matter what character he plays.

ok ty very much,
but this means you cannot be in two different guilds. for example, make a PvP only char to be in a competitive guild only and RP char in another guild for the fun of playing with friends. It isn't much of a concern since probably everybody will be playing with friend either if it is a competive guild or a friendly one. it's just that it could have been a good idea not to bind the account to a guild but the char only

I beleive that to be true

Boy I would really like that to be confirmed because as I said I deleted the FIRST character that I created that happened to be the SAME character that started the guild and was the leader. After the delete it made my other characters officers and promoted the first character invited to the guild to leader. At the time there were NO officers in the guild. I even sent the issue to GW support and received advice, a report and a follow up. The solution was to have the current leader reappoint me leader again.

They do this so that you can't learn one guild's tactics and then use it against them when you're playing with another guild. It makes guild PVP more fair all around.

ah i didnt think of that. it sure is something to be concerned of from a competitive PvP guild, but it also block users that would like to do both but their friends are not playing for the competition. well, i think we will have to do with it

lol, most of the posts already answered the questions being asked. buuut, just FYI, when i deleted my toon that had started my guild, my other toon that had already been created turned into the guild leader, im going to guess that if you do remake a toon when your the leader of your guild, and you have no other toons, then it goes and give someone else leadership. so ya,... if your a leader of a guild and feel the need to remake, make sure you have more then 1 toon on the account to keep leadership of the guild. other then that... seems to me every toon a guild leader makes is considered as the guild leader.
