This Cross Faction Guild stuff.
This mage on WoW1 cannot invite my Horde characters on WoW2.
Nuts, no fun.
EDIT…
I figured it out. I have 2 accounts
Created a Community. Made it Cross Faction
Invited all my Horde characters to the Community
Using Guild Invite I invited the Horde Characters using character-realm name
Worked perfectly.
Describe how you are inviting a character to your guild?. I’ve had no issues inviting between accounts.

- Players must be Battle.net friends or part of the same Battle.net community to invite or receive an invitation to an opposite-faction guild on the same realm.
It seems odd, but this makes it sound like you cannot simply invite your own alts if they’re on the same Battle.Net account, and I do notice some comments in the GD thread corroborating. I anticipate some clarification forthcoming shortly.
I have 2 accounts. Both are under my Battlenet account.
I log into WoW2 where my Horde characters play. I then log into my WoW1 account where my Alliance Guild is.
I open the guild window and click Invite. Type on the name of the Horde character on WoW2 and I get… You cannot invite Horde characters.
I wanted to…I really did. I have no friends in the game anymore. I am my own friend.
Hmm… could be outdated data in the client.
Let’s try this; exit out of the client and:
You cannot invite your own cross faction characters to a guild. Someone else has to be Bnet friends with you in order to invite cross faction.
Guess I am outa luck then. As I stated I have no Friends in the game.
Thanks for the clarification.
I think what Sendryn is trying to say is that, if you have a trusted friend, they can help you populate your guild with your characters.
Between different Battlenet accounts or different WoW licenses on the same Battlenet?
I’m getting the same error, so I’m trying to figure out exactly where the restriction is and if that is intended or not.
This is correct. You cannot invite your on alts. You should be able to, but the devs didn’t seem to think that through fully.
Different WoW licenses.
I totally forgot about this restriction to invite the opposite faction to the guild. I’m sad, I was looking forward to inviting all my horde alts to my alliance guild, couldn’t do it ingame and came back here to this forum. I’m a solo player with two faction separated guilds. Was looking forward to this feature.
I found a post in GD that may help, I’m going to test it later today, myself. I hope it helps.
I just tried this and it works. As stated and in accordance with Blizzard’s new philosophy, it is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Would this also work through the Guild Finder? Put up a recruitment post, apply on all your other-faction toons, then accept the invites?
This is a peer to peer help desk. The hyperbole over how you feel about Blizzard isn’t necessary as we try to help people. If you have feedback about the guild system, I encourage you to submit it through the in game suggestion tool or on General Discussion. The system does need help and constructive feedback is very helpful and needed.
Unfortunately no. Guilds aren’t listed cross faction in Guild Finder.
I haven’t tested it yet, but I read that you can promote a xfaction member to Officer rank and list it in the guild finder.
In other words, if you’re guild is Horde, make one of the Alliance members an officer. Then log onto that Alliance character and list it in the guild finder. I’m not sure if it would also need to be listed in the Horde guild finder too, or if it could just be listed regardless.
Edit: In case anyone comes across this, I have tried putting my Alliance guild recruiting in on Horde side to no avail. I tried with it expired on Alliance and then tried again after I re-listed it on Alliance.
That worked like a champ!
You’re right. I should have left that part out. Sorry.
