Guild Wars 2 Guild organization thread.

I just put my name on the list for an invite and I was able to transfer to the Northern Shiverpeaks server.

James_E, you need to post your account name plus 4-digit number, so we can invite you.

Done. Resubmited the form. 4092.

Sent out the last couple of invites.

I made a Guild Rank called "Lost Soul" for players on other servers. You can now make upgrades if you choose.

Excellent. I am on Crystal Desert, if any Goodjers also happen to be there (was largely lured by the fact that it's the unofficial LGBT server).

Just put info on sheet, thanks!

I am on Devonas Rest. I need to look up my 4 digit code. I'll update spreadsheet when I do.

Is the guild chat still broken? When I open the guild panel it says I'm a member. When I chat it says "your not in a guild"

Are you sure that you are 'representing' the guild? There was a bug early on that did not automatically set you to represent a guild when you joined it. To check, just go to the guild screen and check the bottom of the screen. If there is a button that says, 'represent', press it because you are not currently representing. If it says, 'stand down', you are representing. There may be an easier way to check, but I don' t know it.

Hmm, I am somewhat doubtful that the "free transfer to your guild" will ever happen. A good half of the US servers hasn't fallen below "full" level for days, Northern Shiverpeaks being one of them. "Oh, of course your guild won't get scattered across several servers if some of them don't do the head-start thing/actually have a life." Some may call it clever marketing, others would call it lying. I kinda see a class action lawsuit coming their way.

This is a joke right? There's a few huge problems with this:

1) ArenaNet never promised that the guilds wouldn't get scattered across different worlds.
2) Because of the high probability that the guilds would be scattered, ArenaNet has implemented "guesting" which allows people on other worlds to participate in PvE and social content on any world that has a friend.
3) ArenaNet is allowing free world transfers at the start of the game to accommodate people/guilds that want to move to different worlds.
4) After the free transfers are over, it is possible to transfer to another world with gems. This is no different than the server transfer fees charged in other MMOs.

Have they said how long the free transfer offer will last? (And how much it will cost later?)

I joined Ehmry Bay because NS was full and that's what another forum I post at was calling home. I joined their guild too, but there's only a dozen, give or take, playing at any time. And they're spread across the map so I've never run into any of my guildmates there yet.

So far I've been just fine on my own and with random players I've run into, but it'd be nice to find some familiar faces, and know they're not likely wander off and leave when I'm hoping for a res.

Surely you jest! The implication that people who participated in the head start don't have a life couldn't possibly be trolling!

If more servers come up, do y'all plan to try to move to a less crowded one?

Hey there GWJ'ers could i get an invite? Fredlobster.3974 thank you see you guys in game.

Northern Shiverpeaks is a bit more evenly matched in WvW, now. I think tonight was the first time I've seen us not constantly in the lead.

Hey guys, I've managed to transfer to Northern Shiverpeaks tonight. Can I get an invite on Piyachat Jundaeng?

Can you get a guild invite - cross server? Also I think I am missing how to switch servers, any help?

Yes the guild invites work cross server. To transfer there is a button on the character select screen called World Selection in the bottom left hand corner.

Oh for those who arent crafting or for whatever reason having problems getting bags. You can always do some sPvP and they'll start giving you some BoP bags which increase in size as you rank up.

Dont do what i did and throw away a bunch of 10 slotted bags thinking they were just 4 slotted ones.

Not in your guild, but I'm pretty sure the rank should be called "Traveling Salesman".

Just added my name to the spreadsheet. Look forward to seeing you all in game!

Hey Guys. I just added my info into the form. I'm already in Northern Shiverpeaks and would love to join the guild and kill stuff together.

We need your account name + 4 digit code to invite you. Mine is Stengah.6098 (until I get around to registering my box key), so yours should be in that format. The best way to get an invite is to put your info in the spreadsheet linked in the OP.

Here's my name and code in case you need it. robots.4513

Just got this and set up an account, asked for an invite and such but Northern Shiverpeaks is full. How do you go about this transfer everyone's talking about?

Please send me an invite SpyNavy.3897

OK, another round of invites have gone out. That puts us at 192 members and 6 invites pending.

198!

Guys can I get another invite? I let my brother try out my character and he hit ignore for the invite.
