Not too long ago, Bioware and the Star Wars: The Old Republic dev teams announced that guilds could pre-register on the official site. This allows guilds to get set up and running as well as gives them the ability to take advantage of cool guild features on the site. MMORPG.com Community Manager Mike Bitton says this is AWESOME! Find out why and then leave us your comments.
Once created, guilds can be fully managed from the Guild HQ as BioWare’s basically given each guild their own space on the official website. Each guild essentially gets their own page with both public and private forums (which can be moderated), the ability to set their own Message of the Day, Mission Statement, and the option to select from a multitude of characteristics such as dedication level (hours per week), activity focus (PvP, endgame content, social, etc), the level of role-playing expected by guild members, whether voice chat is required, and much more. Even the guild roster can be managed and sorted; members can be promoted, kicked, sorted by name, rank, class, and the guild leader can even abdicate leadership to a selected member.
