How easy is it to make a one-man guild?

External Since: Feb 19, 2005 Posts: 1091

On one RP server, I have 9 Alliance characters, 3 of whom are actively
played, 2 high-level are retired (but having dinged 35 I might use them
for some crafting eventually, and I do use one for gathering), and the
other 4 are level 10-20 but no longer played (I had a 5th such
character, but a few hours ago I mailed all his items and gold away, and
deleted him).

I mail a lot of items back and forth between my characters, materials to
crafters and then to end users, but it would probably be a lot easier of
I could have a Guild Vault. I know Guilds in World of Warcraft are meant
to be for multiple players, but how difficult would it be for me to get
my own guild? Would I need the cooperation of another player, temporarily?

How exactly does the signing process work? I can only play one character
at a time, but would be easier to get another player to collect
signatures, since then I can sign with my 9 characters and then he only
need to "farm" a single outside/temp signature (or I can make a 10th
character temporarily, to sign the last name on the charter), after
which the Guild is created, and the other playe leaves it. Or should I
gather the signatures myself?

Also, how commonly is this done? I'm sure I'm not the first to get this
idea.

Paying 1 or 2 gold to lowbies if they sign seems to do the trick, make it
clear they're only there until the guild is actually formed.
