How about that, the mods here make a guild and all members of forum can join! Think that would work?

Nash, made an allstar team at The Guild Hall, then again Nash is a GW freak (he he)...and I feel confident that the Nash will LEAD US TO VICTORY!

Vene Vidi Vici (if i spelled it right).


It would be fun, if some of the big boys here put something together. But the big boys are Alpha testers and friends of Alpha tester - so they might end up in some UBER Alpha Guild.

Anybody know what Guild Saus, THX, Freyas, Spooky and Ensigns are a member of ?

Guilds are made by players, you don't have to join.

Don't steal Spooky And GWOnline did something like this too.

It worked rather well.. and it's still together as far as I know. I know both Tarrant and Chantal are in SoW.. but I don't know if the GWO is permanent, or just a BWE thing.

Something like this could be interesting for next month's BWE .. we'll see how things go. It would have been nice this past weekend, but an unfortunate impossibility for me. We had quite a few new people playing with ZoS, so I wanted to be on hand to keep an eye on things. Alas.. how much simpler life would be if I only had two accounts. And a clone.

It's a good idea, though. The people in GWO's Guild seemed to be enjoying their time together, and to that end, I think it makes it easier for people to find others to group with - no matter what 'style' of gaming they're into, as everyone already has something in common.

How much does making a Guild cost?? I heard from a friend that it's around 1kk gold....but it's not too easy to get gold I believe...or there are quests that actually got a ncie reward :P

Its easy to get gold. You just need a signet basically, and thats around 1000. I believe.


I don't like the idea of this GWG guild for only nice people, for the new people who have come on these boards would not be allowed in.

Well there could be multiple guilds run by different mods...

Well.. I assumed that this idea would be like another GWO guild.. but only for GWG. I think a lot of people have established guilds that they've already been in.. and the GWO guild was originally meant for being just a medium for meeting others in the forums, and fostering more of a community between forum members during the BWEs only.

It was definitely intended as a temporary thing just to set up friendships, contacts, and the original plan had a looming possibility of it disbanding after the BWEs. However, due to its popularity, it might remain.

So.. at least with GWO, it was open membership to new and old. Besides, the increase in guild cap helped a lot.. so I don't think it's really that necessary to divide a possible GWG in fractions. Also, of course, if it is a temporary thing, you can always use TANK's rotating roster idea should the 100 members limit be reached..

Well, if there's interest in making a GWGuru guild, I'd be willing to help out, though I am a member of Spirits of War, and don't plan on leaving them. I'd probably be around to help set things up, and maybe play some games with you guys, and then move back into SoW.

Even if there is no GWGuru guild, anyone here is free to add me to your friends list or get a hold of me in-game if you have any questions, or want to run a mission or something. My main character is Freya Njordsdatter, though I'll often play on different characters with the same naming scheme(Freyas Bane, Freyas Wrath, Deathly Freya, etc) based on what I'm playing at the time.

Back on the subject of a guild, I know a lot of the members here are already in guilds of their own, so I don't know how much of a problem that we will have with the member cap. I know the GWO guild was under 50 members(though right about at the 50 member cap at the time), and I think they have a bit larger community at the moment- though at the pace that Guru is growing, that might not hold for too long .

I think this a a great idea!
The Alpha Gurus could be the top Guild
All Guru members that want to join would be in
Beta - Gamma - Delta until they get promoted into Alpha

Or something along those lines

So that means all the people who have posted here from some time ( forget us lurkers ) or all the people with a certain post count, get in Alpha, while all the newer members get Beta and Charlie ( you forgot it ) and then noobs get Delta?

I'd rather make my own guild with some friends then join a guild where I am in the 'Charlie' Guild.

No I think you guys are getting confused about my idea.

All GWG guilds would be the same, just different people.

I wouldn't want people being left out of things they might think are better.

I'm interested in the GWG idea and who would be allowed in each group.

I have run a guild on battle net and it takes a lot of work and being present to help the members into games and settle arguments etc. I think I would enjoy just being able to play with people that understand the game better than I do. I came here just to read and I have learned a lot from Spooky's vast research of the game. So far I have played only with one or two people and then they are gone at end of the quest or as we returned to a town. I think it would be nice to have some of the members and guru writers in here to help me learn about this game. I like the idea of a GWG guild. Just a (_)o *Janee

what ever happened to charlie?? no one ever talks about charlie? Is it because charlie hides in the trees and waits to shot you or because no one cares? I care!

off topic but charlie isnt in the greek alphabet, and if youre refering to the amry letters, then wouldnt it be bravo not beta, i think thats why charlie isnt in there
also i think the amry uses something else instead of gamma too, greko? not sure
