Petition to Reserve Guild Names
Tur713
As it's stated above, this is a petition to reserve at least our guild names before The Wipe. I know it would be unfair just to keep the guild established (because that would be extra money that others would still have to pay). So yeah, let's see if we can save our names from The Wipe!

I'd sign that, I think there's a website that does automatic petitions for you. You'd just need people to go there and sign it

Might someone be able to write up a good petition at Petition Online? I know I'm not the best of writers, but perhaps someone could do that and add a link to that petition on this thread.

i think there will be no chance of saving guild names as they want everybody to have a chance at grabbing the snazzy names on a first come first served basis
lots more names for a character than a guild so they can allow people to have characters reserved but not guilds
they made a point of saying guilds would go when they could have treated them same as characters

I believe Guild Leaders who are currently on a Pre-Order account should have their guild names reserved.

Just as kunt0r said, the people who have pre-ordered get to start playing GW a day earlier than the rest. You can simply register your guild then!
Brett Kuntz
Actually that is not what I said, but is still true. The downside of it is, it still leaves plenty of room for people to jack guild names, which will happen sadly.

lol i cant wait till some random guy logs on and takes the guild name the fianna and makes it a henchi team

I totally agree, kunt0r... I think I mentioned earlier in the thread about guilds with established names being scooped up if people get the chance. Maybe the top 20 guilds will be reserved, but that's still leaving a lot of room, as you said.
I mean, I'd like to keep mine, but, in reality, I'll probably just try and join a guild rather than attempt to run one, :P.

I think they should fix the bug where if the charater that created the guild is deleted, their whole account is removed from the guild and they cannot be reinvited. That should be fixed before any name saving novelty be added to the game.

Here here Cicciro!!
Guild Ownership should be locked to account just as Guild Membership is. There should also be the ability to transfer Guild Ownership to another account. You never know when the leader may decide to split from his Guild for whatever reason.

Is guild membership attached to member account now? In Dec BWE (might have been Jan) I wanted to delete a character to try a new one. When I deleted that character, I left my guild because that was the one that had been invited. Is this fixed now?
To stay on topic, I hope there is some way to reserve guild names. My guild is well known but is less likly to get our name ripped off since we don't cause fear when we face other guilds (like Fianna and KOR do).

Having the pre-orders able to start a day ahead of the rest of the world, should allow specific guild names to be reclaimed. I suspect that name theft may be addressed by ANet if and when it occurs.
There may be quite different Guild membership once it's "for real". Some of the guilds that have been open with membership may be more restrictive.
The 50 member limit tends to encourage that.

the guilds created at the first chance to make them have been in existance about 2 weeks of game time and down to only a few hours for ones created last BWE
plan with your guild to be there at the very start
since i am not in a guild i dont know if the 50 gold fee is accurate but if it is you should have ALL guild members out scrounging for a few gold each to speed up the fee and have someone ready to register when you get it
be ready with a 2nd and even 3rd choice for a guild name
it is a game and someone who preordered but was not in a beta may choose your guild name
the name wipe is to level the playing field on the guilds

well the reason i said that is because im just saying that the guilds built up their title as the best guild, and i think that the players pushing their name up the ladder should be rewarded and keep their famous name

I would't mind seeing the top 5 guilds or so get to keep their guild names. That would be a cool reward for geting up the ladder.As far as the rest of it goes if they want to keep a Guild cap keeping all the names might be a problem unless they increase the cap again. I was reading that they raised it to 100, but I havent actually looked to see how many there at now.
Amendment: if there are that many people in the guid that means up to 500 players can save themselves 50 gold a peice, maybe not the fairest way to keep an even playing feild.

i'll start by saying "1337 sp33k" sucks.
then i'd like to say that your "petition" doesn't do anything because you can't petition for a private company making a video game to alter the way they do things software related.
finally i'll say that reserving names is useless. no one's going to steal your guild's name unless you're the Fianna or something, and if you are, then when the Fianna sinks to number 400 on the ladder because of a little kid stealing a name, then we'll know for sure that it wasn't the real or former Fianna. the name is nothing. it's the people that make up the guild that matter.

Yeah, I guess most names are safe... I mean, there's still enough people out there who aren't total crap sacks who just want to piss people off by stealing their guild names.

Guys,
I believe last time I checked, Guild Names will be preserved from the Beta Weekend Events into the release version of Guild Wars. No need for a petition, we got ya covered.

And about guild leaders getting inactive and just leave the game without giving leader status to someone else. My whole guild got inactive last BWE except me, and I was a member, but I got the status guild leader after a few hours.

Gaile, thank you for cleaning that up and if I remember you have posted on this point before with the same infomation.
BlackArrow
How does that work then Gaile? Are the guilds still going to be inplace or is the name just reserved for the person who created the guild before?

on the other hand it would be easy for the guild members to get back into their respective guilds
