It gotten so bad with two of my officers that they couldn't revive the person they were helping for answering whispers.

So as a result the officers and I had to add to the teleporting rule that whispering for permission would be ignored. We had to do that for asking for help as well.

Everyone needs help at one time or another so there is no shame in asking for it. This guild's basic purpose is to be a helping guild for all members and other pirates.


I would really like more input on problems other guilds have had and how they dealt with them.

As far as handing the guild over to an officer if you chose to leave, that's a no-can-do. I tried several times to reason with disney when the GM of our old guild went AWOL, see if there was any way to transfer the GM title to someone else in the guild. NOPE. They flat out told me the only way to make that happen was to have the GM give me their account information and take over the account. Not a very smart move IMO. We ended up packing off to Dueces, as after three months, a GM-less guild wasn't working anymore.

Best of Luck!

A GM less guild can work, but it's very difficult. What Sarah was referring to, and what you are referring to are two different situations. In one situation, the GM has already been gone for a while, with no way to be contacted. In the other situation, you haven't left (broke off communication), they're trying to prevent you from doing so.



I don't have a problem with chat, but I can see why others do. It's okay to ask for help, but even if you're in a guild, the GM's only reason for playing isn't to walk you through each and every quest in the game. Just as the member asking for help is doing, GM's have quests of their own to do, leveling of their own to do, and sometimes need time alone.
