Index -> Interface -> Guilds

Guilds are player-made groups that any player may create or join. You may access Guilds from the Navigator, or by typing /guild in lobby chat. You'll see a window displaying information about all current guilds.

All Guilds

Rank: This is the guild's ranking in relation to other guilds. A guild's ranking is determined by combining the overall ratings of all guild Members.

Name: The guild's name.

# Members: This is the current number of players in the guild. Each guild can have up to 100 players.

Leader: The creator of the guild, who may invite or remove members as needed.

Members: All players in the guild are listed here, whether they are online or not.

Friends' Guilds

This is a listing similar to the All Guilds listing, however, these guilds contain users that you have flagged as a friend. This handy reference will let you know what guilds you might want to join or have friendly competition with.

Creating a Guild

To create a guild, click the Create button at the top of the screen. This will bring up a dialog box where you can enter the guild's name. Name your guild appropriately (keeping in mind the code of conduct) and when done, click Create.

You can't create a guild if you are already a member of a guild.

Inviting Members into Your Guild and Joining Existing Guilds

If you are the leader of your Guild, you may invite other players who are not already members of other guilds to join. You can do this in your Guild's user interface by entering their name in the "Invite New Members" dialog box. You may also invite players in a game lobby in two ways:

• Right-click on the player's name in the user list and select Invite to Guild from the drop-down menu; or
• Type /inviteguild [player name] into the player chat.

The player will receive a pop-up message with your invitation and a link to the details of your guild.

Leaving a Guild

Should you wish to leave guild, you may do so in two ways:

• Click on the Leave Guild button in the Guilds window; or
• Type /leaveguild into the player chat of any lobby.

If you are the leader of the Guild, another player will become the leader. (Should you later wish to rejoin the guild, you will need to contact that person.)

Removing Players From Your Guild

Should the need arise, the leader of a guild can eject a player from the guild by right-clicking on their name in the Guild Members user interface and selecting "Kick from Guild," or by typing:

• /kickguild [player's name]

Viewing Your Guild Details

Overview

This section shows you guild details such as Officers, your Guild's Total Ratings, and your Guild's Average Ratings.

Officers: These users can modify the Guild Message, and invite and remove members in the guild. The Guild Leader can create Guild Officers by right-clicking on a username in the Guild Member user interface and selecting "Grant Guild Officer Status." The Guild Leader also has the ability to revoke Officer status in the same manner.

Total Ratings: These are representative of the cumulative ratings of all members of this Guild.

Average Ratings: These are representative of the average ratings of all members of this Guild.

Members: This section is a listing of all of the members in your Guild.

Settings

This section is for Guild Leaders and Guild Officers.

Invite New Members: Enter a player's username in this box to invite them to your guild.

Guild Message: Guild Leaders and Officers can set a Guild Message by typing in this box. When any member of your guild logs in, they will have a pop up that lets them know what this message is. Additionally, you can check the "Send to all logged in members of the guild immediately" button when you submit a guild message, and it will instantly broadcast this message to all logged in members of your guild.

Guild Chat

Each member of a guild can chat with each other in private via the Guild Chat function. To use Guild chat, simply type "/g [message]" in any chat window and your message will be able to be viewed by all members of your guild. Guild Chat appears in green text, with your guild's name preceding the name of the user who sent it. You can use Guild Chat in Scenarios, Casual Games, Tournament Games, and any lobby.

Guild-Only Matches

One feature of being in a guild is the ability to establish Guild-Only matches in the Casual Lobby and in the Trade Lobby. When you create a match in either of these lobbies, you will see the option to make your match Guild-Only. A Guild-Only match can be joined or observed only by players in your guild.

Guild-Only Trades

When creating a Posted Trade, you have the ability to set it so that only members of your Guild can accept the trade. A Guild-Only trade can only be viewed by members in your Guild.
