Hey, so how do i join a guild. I am new to the game and am looking for people to play with and to learn from.

Q: How do I join a Guild? How do I get members to join a Guild I created?
A: Click My Guild to view a list of Guilds (or click My Guild, then Guild List in the top left if you are already in a guild), and choose a guild you wish to join. Click the name of that guild to go to their member list. At the bottom left of the page will be a link: "Click Here To Request to Join This Guild". Click this to request to join the guild. Once you do this, you must wait for the Guild owner to approve your join request. Please note, some guilds disable the ability for new members to request to join, and a link may not appear on those guilds.
