Usurping a guild
Nov 16th, 2011 at 11:26am
Print Post  
Supposed someone has a toon in a guild, who is not an officer, but all officers and the leader have been offline for almost a month now.

If I understand it correctly, after a while, an officer can become the new leader.
If there is no officer logging in as well, is there an option for regular members to become leader of the otherwise inactive guild?
  

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.

Doesn't sound like a guild I'd be interested in staying in, much less running.
But to answer your question, yes, after a certain amount of time it can be usurped by anyone if I recall correctly.

You can get it faster if you diplomacize.

I am glad you enjoyed it. If you want to see a fast run, jump in a Prophets or Revenants run. Hell, in a Revenants run 4 of them will be dual boxing and we still finish in 22 mins.

I got a text around 4 my time yesterday saying, "Guess who's already hitting the cab sav?"  Grin

I went to go pick up Arkham City on PC cuz I pre-ordered it, but those fuckers pushed it back to November 22nd!  ARG.  So I played Magic with Big Daddy instead because I was enraged.  Cheesy

Thanks for your replies, guys and girls.

I rolled a toon on a different server than my home server, and I joined a guild there. After a few weeks, I lost interest and played on my home server again.

Seems like everyone else did the same thing a bit later than I did.
I wouldn't mind being the leader of a guild and not having done anything for having a nice shippie.

As far as I know you Qan't do that.  I've had a toon in a guild with officers and leaders gone for about a year now and he Qan't do anything but look at the list.  I Qan't even update the stupid guild message.

Okay, never mind.  You have lost all of the good will that I have afforded you, and I wish a slow, painful and hideous death upon you and anyone who shares your genes, just in case this brand of cunty gimmick is a genetic trait.

I usurped one.

Yes *I* have usurped a guild!!!!

I'd got the ADs for the level 35 or whatever it is ship. Leader hadn't been on for ages and everytime I logged those chars in I would get the message re usurping.The policy is for all members to be officiers and newer members were appearing (I suspect alts of one member). Tiny boutique guild that I was grateful to be allowed to hide in once upon a time. So I usurped, made everyone officer, made the former leader the successor and put a note in that if I ever noticed he had logged back in again (I don't play this character much) that I would make him leader again and that I just wanted to officer everyone. I'm also the only person who puts ammenties up. I don't really know anyone else in that guild. There is one other person in there who appears to be fairly active but every time I try to talk to them I get very short answers so I just leave them alone. Everyone else has either left the game or is on a very long break.

Not sure how he would feel about me usurping. If there is ever any issue brought up about it I'll happily hand it over. It's just sort of preserving the status quo.

So yes, the usurping feature is working Tongue

I know a special someone that usurped a guild and then sold it. Made for some very entertaining market trade chat.

The usurping Feature Works...

Look at Rebellion ( now called Remants of Syphiroth ).

Until U12 they were slowly drifting back towards oblivion, with only 1 member having dodged the Banhammer...

Now they seem to be back in the business of Renown Farming. ( legally or not, I'd guess exploiting again, as they jumped back up a lot in renown )

So the only member left seems to finally have managed to usurp the guild, renamed it, and probably invited back the banned ( with a new account ) to the Exploit Farm Fest.

Too bad we don't have the Renown horse race thread anymore to check on renown progression.  Sad

If I recall after the shit storm on the forums over this, usurping only works down to the officer level. Members can not usurp.

I have a bank character in a guild that was run by some friends because they needed a 6th account.  They have been offline for over a year - everytime I log in I have the option to usurp if I so choose and I am not an officer
