guide. A more detailed explanation of each step and the considerations for it is included
further down in this section of the guide.
¨ Decide on a guild name: Every guild needs a name. Guild names in WoW must
comply with the terms of service and cannot be used by another other guild within
the same realm. A realm is a collection of servers like “Eastern” or “Pacific”.
¨ Decide if you will be horde or alliance: A guild in World of Warcraft can contain
either characters from the Horde races or characters from the Alliance races but it
cannot contain both.
¨ Decide on what ranks you wish to have in your guild: You can have up to 10 ranks
defined to your guild. You don’t have to use all 10 spots but you can have up to 10
ranks and you can customize the privileges each rank has.
¨ Find 9 friends or recruit 9 guildmates. You must have 10 signatures (with yours
counting as one) from 10 different accounts (not characters) to create a guild.
¨ Collect 10 silver: It costs 10 silver to create a guild. This is easy to get.
¨ Visit the Guildmaster NPC: You will purchase a charter for 10 silver and it will
appear in your backpack. It will validate your guild name at charter purchase but
will not reserve it/secure it until you turn in your charter.
¨ Find your friends and have them sign your charter. As I said above, you will need
10 signatures
¨ Turn in your charter to the Guildmaster NPC and you will become the guildmaster
of the guild.
