-  Find a guild you'd like to be in, and ask one of its members. They might have to ask a guild leader (there can be more than one), and when they decide to let you in, you'll receive a notice that someone has invited you into their guild. You'll want to select "Yes", and that's it!

 

-  /g <message> - Sends a chat message to all members of your guild.

 

-  /o <message> - Sends a chat message to all officers of your guild.

 

-  Also note that you can turn guild chat off for certain ranks in your guild.

-  The tabard is a visual symbol or badge of membership for each guild (or overall faction in the case of the Honor System reward Private/Scout tabards). The only purpose beyond looking cool is to display your guild or faction pride, otherwise tabards provide no mechanical benefit to your character.

 

-  There are 5 guild ranks by default: Initiate, Member, Veteran, Officer, and Leader.

• Usually, Officers and Leaders can add and remove players from the guild.
• Members of the guild can only perform promote/demote/remove actions on those of lower ranks than themselves.
• Only Leaders can disband the guild and promote players to the Officer rank.
• Only one character can be the guild Leader.
• Guilds must have a minimum of 5 ranks. More ranks can be added by the Leader, up to a maximum of 10 ranks.

 

-  Rank names and privileges are customizable by the guild Leader. The privileges are:

• Inviting players to the guild or removing them.
• Promoting or demoting of members.
• Viewing or speaking in Guild chat.
• Viewing or speaking in the special Officer chat channel.
• Editing public notes or viewing/editing of Officer notes.
• Editing the guild Message of the Day or the Guild Information panel.

-  Most people join guilds to seek out help on quest, instances, and even to get help attaining a certain set piece you may want. Some people enjoy the social aspects and camaraderie. Others desire the structure a guild can provide.
