My fellow guild officers and I are having a ‘discussion’ about whether or not we should alts in the guild. How does guild leveling work, exactly? Would having a bunch of extra inactive characters cause our guild to level more slowly than if we were all active? A. No, having inactive characters in your guild roster won’t slow down your guild advancement. A guild gains experience and ranks through the actions of its members. Anytime members earn experience and/or renown the guild earns experience as well. So having a battalion of inactive alts is not a detriment to your guild’s ability to level.

That's not really correct afaik, experiance gain is based on the membership of the guild, more members = less exp In Beta some guilds "power-leveled", by having every player gquit when they logged off, and got reinvited when they got back on
	Reality is that, which when we cease to believe in it, still exists.

It would seam however that the guild XP throttled based on the number of people loged on at the moment. Though thought there is proably a number at which this is not done... perhaps once there are 20 people on at a given moment then it starts throttling based on the total members online at that moment. The key is to find out what the number is. I KNOW this is the case because it seams very small guild level extremely slow. So long and the short of it. If you are not doing anything log off. If you are going ot be afk for 15 minutes, LOG OFF. We would need to speak to one of the programmers who worked on the mechanic. Or one of them who at least knows where in the code it is. Though it seams like a teribad idea to de-compile a 13 gig program.

Wouldn't that calculation be done server-side and be completely independent of our individual clients? Imagine re-compiling with a higher rate and reaching guild rank 40 in 5 mins. Don't think so.
