Whether you decide to play PvE or PvP, many players enjoy the company of "Guilds" (sometimes called "Clans"). Guilds are a group of players that have come together to for any number of reasons, such as: friendship, grouping, to give and receive help, trade resources and to raid. Joining a Guild can have many benefits, but can also be time consuming if the Guild has mandatory raid, building or warfare requirements.

While playing Age of Conan you may receive many guild invitations. Although it may be flattering, it is not recommended that you join the first guild that invites you. People who join guild after guild tend to get a bad reputation and are known as "guild hoppers". When selecting a guild make sure they are a good fit based on common goals, hours of play, interests, personality and mentality. You may want to cruise some guild websites before making a decision. Joining a guild is completely optional.

If you have joined a guild, you can click the Guild button in the upper left corner of your screen to see information about your guild.
