Guild Dethrone - Option

Community General Discussion

yeah i’ve never heard of it.

it’s kind of disgusting that we’re repeatedly told “this is the policy, GMs are hands off”… when that’s not the case.

Plenty of people who dethrone, (myself included) will demote ex-guild leaders, but not remove them from the guild due to being told that this can’t happen.

I guess it’s time to go initiate some g-kicks.

Vrak elaborated a little more further down. Looks like some details aren’t overtly advertised to keep abuse down.

I’m reading into Vrak’s explanation a bit, but it sounds like as long as the dethroner is at least somewhat active (didn’t just dethrone and go inactive), they should be safe. I suspect that’s why he orginally worded is as “While I can’t guarantee that we will if those conditions are met, we will take a look.”

Either way, it’s one of those definitely worth asking situations.

I have my doubts it would be possible in this circumstance. OP has implied that he was absent for over a decade.

Very true.

I figured I’d throw it out there for informational purposes as well. :slight_smile:

Thank you all who responded! Sadly, the case - as I suspected - can’t be helped. Apparently, the GM told me that if my character WAS the creator, their logs don’t go back that far (which, I suppose I can believe… the guild was formed when WoW first came out… like on Day 3). So I have accepted that I will not get my guild leadership (or even Guild Officer) status restored. I did send an in-game message to the current leader explaining that I have come out of retirement and would love the title (or at the very least Officer status) again… but they’ve been off for 4 months, so there’s perhaps a very good chance that they won’t log back in… and if they do, since I departed shortly after Lich King, may not even know who I am (since their name doesn’t sound familiar to me; and the guild was pretty much a friend invite friends kind of thing). So they’re probably connected via seven degrees of Kevin Bacon kind of thing.

Again, thank you all for the replies and feedback. All greatly appreciated!

Time to find a new guild. Blizzard has options in place for abandoned guilds, but if you’re not an officer, you don’t get that option. Find a new one or start a new one.
