Good luck with your search blkhwk. It is a bit like getting a good suit. Find the one that fits you best and it will last a lifetime (well sort of but you get the idea lol)

In the Wenches there are times when we have 7 or 8 people on and we are silent I mean hear crichets chirp silent. At other times we can only have 3 or 4 on and we are talking away.

If I was in a guild where I felt left out or not a part of it I would move on as well.

As for guild or not to guild.....It would take some tine and homework to find a good one. All guilds have their weak points. Yes even mine. I would look here on the forums and read the threads in the guild sub forums to maybe find one that meets what you might be looking for.

There are all kinds. Some have all ages while others have only adults. Some only take high lvs and others all. Heck there is a couple that only take female pirates....

Happy guild hunting....

I like others get those out of nowhere guild requests all the time. I would ask something about the guild before joining like posted above. How many people are around, what rules, is there a theme to the guild. To me, a better communication system, whats the structure of the guild and function. As of late I would probably ask what happens if the gm leaves, with so many of these issues lately. Lastly I would maybe check who knows a little something about computers in the guild, if you are one that is not a complete wizard. I have seen more help in the guild with so many of the lag issues and things like that, that some people think some of us are gods, that we actually figured out something so they could get in the game and play, where all else failed.

When I am building a character I like to do it solo and not get tied up with a lot of guild things. The last one took like three weeks, this one is coming up on 30 and was trying to go slow, but alto more quests added. The higher the level seems like the more requests, and even out right how dare you not be in a guild at your level type things.

What you might want to do, is make a alt character and just go check out different guilds. People don't even want to talk to ya in your own guild, I would say adios. I know we have in the past taken players alt's in, and give them a chance to check things out. Imho a lower level character is going to have a lot better chance of finding out what the guild is really about. If you are going be ignored and treated badly as a low level, then you might think about if that is the group you want to get hooked up with.

If I crew a guy or gal without a guild, and we hit it off, I'm gamin' to guild them. Oftimes I'll find a really good crew that follows orders, to their benefit and mine. I'll like to keep in touch as impersonally as possible: not friends, just guildmates.

yeah i left my guild the other day. i kept inviting members to board ships with me (after already having disabled them) and no response. not even "busy" or anything. so i boarded them myself. then i asked for a level check and got one response. whats the point?

I left my guild last night. I joined a guild about two minutes into the game and I haven't seen or heard from any of my guildmembers since then.

Try out some of the guilds on this forum. I find that if people are so into the game that they join a forum, then will probably be long term players.

The excellent link for guilds advertising for members started by League (http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=5342) is a great place to start. Chat to some of the members on here, drop them a PM to find out what they want in a member.

I would be pleased to allow someone into my guild to try us for size. Just let me know why you are leaving so maybe I can make some changes for future prospective members.

Here is an update on my guild situation..... There was a core group (4) from my original guild that seemed to actually participate with each other. We found that we were always joining up with a small group from another guild. When we discussed our guild situation with them they seemed to be having the same experience. We have since created our own guild and are 9 members strong and enjoying the heck out of the game and the guild.

So to those of you that are not happy with your guild... Keep looking or better yet start your own with people that you enjoy playing the game with. Join a crew and if you like the crew go from there.

If anybody ever wants to see what a good guild is (think I just hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back), check out the Krewe. It doesn't matter if you're in the Krewe or not--we'll sail with you, or even entertain the random requests for help.

You want chatter? We got chatter. You want fun? We got fun. You want helpful players? We got helpful players. You want to learn how to work together as part of a team? That's what the Krewe is.

See ye online!
