Guild Hex

World of Warcraft has exploded in terms of online popularity over the last few years with tons of people joining the already huge online gaming community. In fact online populations on the various servers have grown significantly and just like in the real world, it raises the question of just how many players there are.

In order to answer this question, it has seen the invention of the world of warcraft guild census tools. There are a few of them out there available for free download on the internet, some better than others but most do the job ok.

In fact, there are now websites set up that is dedicated to calculating this census information, which details various information such as guilds, races, classes etc. However, a question does have to be asked as to whether this information is accurate or not.

You can also get add-ons which when installed, will show you in-game census information as you play, real time. It will also gather census information from your server too, which can give you accurate information as to who is using your server to play Wow online and can provide some pretty cool world of warcraft guild census information too.

When using the add-on, you need to be careful because it can take some time to scan the server for the Wow population and certainly won’t be instant if you have a number of people all playing on it!

Using such tools is not only a fun thing to do, but you can dig up some really cool information as to who you are playing to. I have been able to find out just how many people were on my server at any one time and I also discovered the top guilds too, which is a really cool part of this world of warcraft guild census tool. Give it a go and download it, its great.

World of Warcraft is a multiplayer game and as such gathering groups of people is something completely normal and part of the game. In World of Warcraft such groups are called Guilds. These provide many benefits – banks, chat where you can communicate with other fellow members and come World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – the guild advancement system and other bonuses. All this makes being a member worth it. Many players choose to create a guild themselves and here is how you can do it if this sounds to you like a good idea.

First of all, you need 10 people to form a guild. If you have made some friends already, ask them if they would like to help you start a new guild so you can keep in touch easier and have more fun.

There are a few things you have to decide before moving on such as a name. Think about some nice names, as very often players who are playing just for fun join guilds simply because of the cool name. If having fun is the only goal you have, go and think of a name that’s cool/funny/entertaining. If you are planning to build step-by-step a more serious raiding guild that will eventually focus solely on the end-game content, maybe something more serious will fit well as a name for the guild. If you have some friends who are interested in starting a new guild together with you, maybe they also have some good ideas about guild names so hear them out.

Next step once you have decided on a name is to buy a Charter. It costs only 10 silver and you can buy it from the Visitor’s Center from the Guild Master NPC standing there. Once you have the Guild Charter, it is time to find 9 more players to sign up for the new guild. If you have enough friends to form the guild at once you can just do that, if not – try asking some random players who are not in a guild already to signup for your Guild Charter. Normally people would help you for a small tip of 5-10 gold coins, after which they can either stay in your guild or leave it once the guild is formed.

Once you have all 10 signatures, you can go back to the Guild Master and register your guild. Make sure your Guild Charter is in your Backpack, as having it in any other bag may cause some problems when the Guild Master tries to recognize it. Once the guild is registered, it is all official – you are a proud Guild Master to your newly formed guild and it is time for you to start working on getting more people into the guild and work on your goals!

At the very beginning of World of Warcraft, there were no guild banks. Quickly, Blizzard realized the need for such a tool, as the guilds were struggling storing their materials collected from various raid instances. As a result, these new banks were officially introduced to the game.

Guild bank is an in-game storage interface accessible for everyone who is a member of the guild. Additionally, some access rights can be given in order to make sure that only certain rank guild members can withdraw money and items from the bank. It is the guild master who has the option to set view/ deposit/withdraw rights for the different guild ranks and this makes the bank interface completely customize-able by the guild and not by Blizzard.

The guild banks were placed right next to the players’ banks areas in all major cities and are accessible the same way as the personal banks. The difference is that the guild bank tabs are much larger and it is much more expensive to buy additional tabs. A guild tab has 98 item slots and the first tab costs 100 gold to purchase. After that the prices for each successive tab increase – 250, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 gold, which makes a total of 9350 gold for all tabs.

One of the differences between player bank and guild bank is that the guild bank can store money and players can use the money from the guild bank to pay for their repairs. A special interface was also added at all repair vendors, allowing the players to use not their own but the guild money to pay for their repairs. Most of the guilds use this option only for repairs during raids – it is again the guild master who can turn this feature on and off as they see fit. In my guild, we use the guild money for repairs only on progress raid evenings – when we are working on defeating a new boss and we wipe numerous times while learning the fight. After we have managed to kill the boss, we no longer use the money from the guild for repairs; we pay with our own money. Some guilds also use their guild gold to buy materials to craft flask, food buffs and everything else needed for successful raid. I’m not sure if casual guilds use guild money for something like that, as most likely they do not run strong guild economy to produce this money in first place. For example, my guild was making money for the guild bank by selling patterns, cartables and other rare items obtainable only from the end game raid instances and this was helping us have money for repairs and flasks.

The access to the bank is fully controllable by the guild master – he or she can decide which ranks from the guild can view, deposit and withdraw items and money. This can be done for each separate tab and additionally a withdraw limit can be set. This all makes using guild bank easy and stress free for everyone, so we are very thankful to blizzard for introducing the guild banks in patch 2.3

A Guild in World of Warcraft is a tightly knit community of similar minded people. The guild goals can vary – from casual raiding and leveling together to hard-core end game raiding. There are also guilds focusing mostly on the PvP aspect of the game, while other guilds have PvE as their number one priority. It is a good idea to decide upfront what you are planning to do and what you expect to achieve in the game, how many hours per week you will be willing to spend and the like before you look for a guild or decide to create one on your own together with some friends.

I will give you some tips about what you should do if you have decided to start your own guild and how to tackle the guild recruitment process in order to get people who will share similar goals and interests with you and will build a good team.

Choose a goal: decide what the focus of your guild will be. Will you spend many hours each evening trying to beat the hardest bosses in the game or would you rather go more casual style and clear some instances whenever people are up for it? Will you focus on PvE or PvP content? Having an answer ready to these questions is important; as players have different interests when it comes to World of Warcraft and a guild composed by players who have totally different interests will not work too well in the long run.

Decide on Recruitment Requirements: it is important to know what players you are looking for to join your guild. If you are looking for fast progression, it is probably best to recruit players who are soon to reach the level cap or are already there. If you are looking for fun and friendly leveling atmosphere, the level of the players might be of less importance. Also, get real – you will not be able to recruit players who have superior gear to everyone else in the guild and expect to get carried through the content. The key is the right requirements and the right attitude – no one should expect others to carry him through the content, as this almost never happens in World of Warcraft. If you are creating a guild with focus on PvE raiding, make sure people are clear on your expectations upfront – how many hours a day they will have to be available for raids, how many days a week the raids will happen, what classes are you looking for and so on. Be as exact and precise on your requirements as possible – this will save a lot of disappointment and frustration for both you and your guildies in the long run.

Focus on your guild members: after all, World of Warcraft is a multiplayer online game, meaning that not everyone will always be able to come online – people have work, school, get sick, go on vacation or just need time off the game. As a guild master, you must be able to understand all that and focus on your guild members and make them as happy as possible with the online gaming experience when they are able to come online and spend some time playing with you and the other guild members.

No one says that running a successful World of Warcraft guild is easy, but depending on your goals, it may prove just doable – all you need to do is set your goals straight and look for similar minded people to share the experience with.
