I've never done it myself, so take this for what it's worth. I'm sure others have much more experience with it, but here goes. I think you need to /petition for a guild first. Then a GM will contact you and have you fill out a form (which has your account name, registration info, guildname, guild charter, and other stuff). Then you will set up a time to start your guild. You must have 10 people in a premade chat channel at a specific time. A GM will come along and look in the channel. If you have 10 people, the viola! You've made a new guild.


I'm not positive on the order that each of those are done though. You may have to do the "10 people in a chat channel" thing before filling out the forms. I'm not sure. I am pretty sure you start the whole process by using /petition though. In any case, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try it that way. If nothing else, the GM/guide will give you directions on what you're supposed to do... :)

Creating a Guild
If you decide that none of the existing guilds are quite what you are looking for, you may found your own guild. In order to establish your guild you must have an acceptable name, charter, and a membership of 10 players who wish to form this guild.
The following process needs to be followed to gain approval for you guild:

1. The person who is to be the leader of the guild must enter the chat server and issue the #makeguild command. This will create a private guild channel. The name of the guild should be used as the name of the channel, although this name can be edited later during the creation process.

2. Once the channel has been created, the guild leader needs to invite the members of his guild into the channel. To do this he needs to tell the guild members the name of the channel and the password for access.

3. Once a total of 10 members are in the channel and have issued the #guildapprove command, the guild leader can then issue the #makeguild command. This will move the guild leader to the guild creation screen.

4. In the guild creation screen, the guild leader needs to enter a summary of the guild’s charter. This summary should focus on the guild’s role in Norrath and the goals it will pursue. Details of the internal working of your guild need not be included. You may also edit your guild’s name in this screen. Once completed, hit FINISH and the guild will be submitted for approval.

5. The leader of the guild may check the status of the guild by activating the GUILDS button from chat. If the status of the guild indicates a need for revision, the guild leader should select his guild and hit the EDIT button. Comments regarding the nature of the needed revision appear at the bottom of the guild creation screen. The guild leader can edit the charter and the guild name as needed and hit the FINISH button to resubmit the guild for approval. IMPORTANT: If the leader is only viewing the revisions needed, hit CANCEL to exit this screen. If the leader hits FINISH the guild will be resubmitted for approval and the leader will be unable to re-enter the guild creation/edit screen.

6. Once the name and charter have been approved, the guild leader will be notified via email that the guild is ready to be created. Please verify that your email is correct in our files by going to account:change account:edit registration from the login screen.

7. Once the guild leader has received notification that the guild has been approved, it is his responsibility to petition and meet the GM of his server to complete the guild creation process.

Guild commands
Guild leaders and members can send special ("/") chat commands to others in their guild. Replace items in [brackets] with the indicated information. Valid users are listed in parentheses after the definition.

In order for a guild leader to make an officer, the player must not be in the guild when using /guildinvite o [playername]. If a guild leader wants to promote someone to officer, simply have the player to be promoted target themselves and type /guildremove in order to be ready to be promoted to officer. This will remove them from the guild, which will allow the guild leader to then use the /guildinvite o to make them into an officer. Please be careful in choosing who will be the officers in your guild, as only the guild leader and officers can invite new members into the guild. Only the guild leader can make someone an officer.

/guildinvite [name] [rank] - Invite a person to join the guild. If this person is to be an officer, include the argument [O] (as in Oscar) for the rank. Usable by the Guild Leader and Officers, but only the Guild Leader can make officers. You would also use this function to promote a member to an officer.

/guildremove [name] - Remove a member from the guild. Only the Guild Leader may remove Officers. You may use this command on yourself to leave the guild.

/guilddelete - Disband your entire guild. Only the Guild Leader may use this command.

/guildstatus [name] - Will return information on whether the named person is a member, an Officer, or the Guild Leader.

/guildleader [name] - Transfer guild leadership to [name].

/guildsay [text] - Sends a message to all guild members.

They aren't kidding about the name thing. They just denied my friend's Gnome Spork Army guild the other day. :(
