Add a way to pull a new alt into a guild of one?

Over the years, the four guilds that I’m in have dwindled down to one person. (no, I don’t think it’s me although it could be). One used to be a fairly large alliance guild that I was just a member until I became GM through attrition. And then I was the only one left. One other was a moderate size horde guild. The other two alliance/horde were created by me just due to the character cap there used to be on realms. Eventually, everyone in the guilds left. A few wanted to be back in raiding guilds, but most just left the game.

Being the only one left, I have no way to bring in a character if I feel like trying a different race/class combination. I’m good with the team up long enough to accomplish a goal and move on type of gameplay. I don’t need to be in a large guild. Couldn’t we have a method for a GM to send an invite via mail to someone? Maybe account bound? Or possible the other way around where an unguilded person could send an email to the GM and they could be invited from that?

Just get a friend to help you transfer

You can list your guild in the guild finder, then switch to an alt and apply to your own guild, then switch to your main to accept the application, then switch back to your alt

You can post your guild in the recruitment tab; you can mention it’s just there for alts if you want, then log over to an alt. Then have them apply to join in the recruitment tab, then switch over to your main and accept the application.

The 2 friends/family that still play are on different realms unfortunately.

There’s no point to being in a guild by yourself so this really isn’t an issue that needs a solution.

This is the correct answer. Blizz added the ability to properly invite offline applicants some time ago.

You can invite your alts yourself, no need for a GM to do it. Open recruitment for your guild, with the note “for my alts only” or something similar, then switch to your alt and apply to the guild. Switch back to you main, accept the application, etc. You have to switch back and forth a few times to complete the process, but it only takes a few minutes.

Actually there is. Sharing stuff between characters. Also being in a guild stops the guild invites in chat.

There is a point. People who don’t want to have a guild name that some other person came up with hovering above their character’s head for whatever reason are punished with longer hearthstone cooldowns, etc. The only way around that is to make your own guild. Also you get an easy way to pool resources from alts.

Access to a guild bank is priceless, especially for profession alts. Saves constantly mailing mats back and forth.

So you got your problem solved? Opening your guild for recruitment and then applying on your alt is the solution.

Well hell. Thanks guys. I knew guild recruiting was there. I didn’t want to burden people with a guild of one so I never listed the guild. I was used to the old school “you both need to be on” method of guild invites.

Yep. I have a guild populated with a bunch of my own alts using this method.

gotta love people that tell others who ask for advise, what they don’t need. You know nothing Jon Snow.
