 +
If you are new to [[Ultima Online]], it is highly recommended to find a guild to join - Guild chat allows you to speak with other members no matter where you are, meaning you can request tips or help should you require it. As a general rule it is best for beginning players to join a large, well established guild - reputation is important, as some level of risk is involved in becoming [[Guilded]].

''<sup>‡</sup>'': When a guild has no active voting members (characters that have logged in within the last 30 days; Guild Leader, Warlords, Emissaries or Members) and only has active non-voting members (Ronins), a special election will be held which will promote the guild member (Ronin) that was most recently active to become the guild master. If the system is unable to identify the most recently active member, it will randomly select an active guild member (Ronin) to promote. This special election '''ONLY''' occurs when there are no active voting guild members.

Guilds are a game mechanic that facilitates group activities. There are also NPC guilds that allow characters who join them to engage in special activities and purchase special items. However, when most individuals are discussing guilds, they are referring player guilds. Player guilds offer their members several game enhancements, such as Guild Chat, Alliance Chat and special Guilded status rules.

If you are new to Ultima Online, it is highly recommended to find a guild to join - Guild chat allows you to speak with other members no matter where you are, meaning you can request tips or help should you require it. As a general rule it is best for beginning players to join a large, well established guild - reputation is important, as some level of risk is involved in becoming Guilded.

Guild Creation

There are three requirements to creating a guild in Ultima Online:

  1. Have an Active Account
  2. Have 25,000 gold for the registration fee
  3. Not already be in a guild with the character that is making said guild

Having met the requirements, in the Classic Client, click the guild button on your paperdoll; in the Enhanced Client, click on the guild button on your Player Quick Menu. Enter a guild name into the Guild Name box. Then select a guild abbreviation for your new guild (ex. Guild name of The New Age; TNA). There are several restrictions for guild names.

Guild names cannot contain numbers or special characters; only alphabetic letters are allowed. Guild names are case sensitive and appear in-game exactly as entered. You will not be able to correct or change this information once you hit the OK button. The name must be 20 characters or less in length. Guild names must follow UO general naming guidelines.

After clicking the OK button, your new guild will be created and registered with the UO server for the shard on which that character resides, as well as with UO.com. Now comes the fun parts.

Ranks & Permissions

A guild has 5 ranks within it:

  1. Guild Leader -- The head of the guild. There is only one Guild Leader.
  2. Warlord -- The guild's war masters.
  3. Emissary -- The recruiters for the guild.
  4. Member -- Regular voting members.
  5. Ronin -- Guild mercenaries who can only participate in wars.

‡: When a guild has no active voting members (characters that have logged in within the last 30 days; Guild Leader, Warlords, Emissaries or Members) and only has active non-voting members (Ronins), a special election will be held which will promote the guild member (Ronin) that was most recently active to become the guild master. If the system is unable to identify the most recently active member, it will randomly select an active guild member (Ronin) to promote.

If you click the blue jewel next to a member's name it will open an options menu allowing you to set their guild title as well as promote or demote the characters as you wish. Members are above the ronin level and emmissaries are above members. Emmissary status grants that character to add to the guild. Above Emmissary is Warlord. Warlords can be sworn into office of Guild Leader if Elected by at least 51% of the members.

Veteran Guild Members
