A guild is a organized group of players who come together to share knowledge, resources, and manpower to play a game. To run a large one, a guild master must be adept at many skills: attracting, evaluating, and recruiting new members; creating apprenticeship programs; orchestrating group strategy; and adjudicating disputes. Guilds routinely splinter over petty squabbles and other basic failures of management; the master must resolve them without losing valuable members, who can easily quit and join a rival guild.

Click on the Create Guild link at the top of the page. Follow the instructions on that page and provide the details about your guild.

There are several ways to join a guild. One option is to click on the "Join This Guild" link anywhere a guild is listed on the site such as search results, the guilds directory, or on member and character profile pages. On each guild's site there will be a "Join This Guild" link somewhere on their page. The location varies since each guild can customize the design of their site. Once you click that link, fill out the application and submit it to the guild. That guild will be notified and will review your application.

Go to the "Guild Account -> Guild Info" section of your guild management page, The guild name will be listed at the top and can be changed from that point.

If you have purchased a premium guild account or custom domain/subdomain upgrades, you can edit these from the "guild info" section of your guild management page.

Go to the "Guild Account -> Change Avatar" section of your guild management page. From that page you can choose a stock avatar, or upload your own custom avatar.
