Can anyone answer a few questions for me please.

1, How many players are needed to start a guild ?

2, When you have the right numbers to start a guild, do you have to be grouped and in the same sector or not ?

3, Do I need a certain amount of cash or ranking to start a guild ?

Thank you in advance

try to type

/guild

and you will get the options.

tks, just got to get the ten players together.

Just make sure all ten players are online before you start creating the guild. I don't remember how explicit the in-game help is, but you only have 10 minutes to get all 10 players signed up. The idea is that you planned this out ahead of time (which it sounds like you are doing).

This was a big issue at first. There where many people who would get a couple of buddies together, start to create a guild, and then start spamming chat saying "we need 7 more people to join so we can finish creating our guild!" Inevitably, they would fail.
