What to look for when looking for a guild to join?

Hi,

  I'm currently on Oasis server and have been shopping around for a guild to join. But with the way things are set up you really don't have any idea of the guilds history.  You only really have a brief summary.  I know I could simply message and ask the recruiter but of course the person will only say good things. I've went and looked some guilds up on the forums and looked at there status and other accomplishments, but is there no way to get a history of them?  I mean how would I know if the guild I joined won't  take advantage of my lack of knowledge of the game? What if I join a guild and no one helps when they list that they do?



Also why are many guilds being listed as Exiled? Do I want to avoid these types of guilds or does it matter?

    A lot of guilds have their own website and forums.  Usually thats your best bet to get a feel for a guild.

    Below is a link to the Oasis specic board in the EQ2 forums.  This post is all about guild info and includes websites where applicable.

    Thanks for the tip, although half of those guilds no longer exsist.   I'll keep on researching, I have two that I think I will inquire about.

    You can also hit the guild screen button in game (U by default).  When unguilded this will actually bring up a list of recruiting guilds and other info.

    @Flem    Yup I've done that,(pressed "U") However it lists always the same Guilds with only a brief summery of them.  I also recently learned that these same ones, possibly not all are using a "tool" that keeps them listed at all times. I'm not sure if that is good or bad issue, but lack of knowledge on this makes me a bit leery in requesting a joining.



    @Tyrlien Ahh ok a bug then. Thanks for that info! Here I thought it was some kind of conspiracy. hehe

       In one of the more recent Game Updates they increased the # of guilds that in the list and tried to randomize it more but still if a large guild keeps several players on during they day they rarely get displace.   I do see our guild showing more often in the list now.  Also I should mention that it is not only the size of the guild but also the # of appointed guild recruiters that impacts the postioning on that list.
