Guilds are a staple of the MMO world and Bio-Ware wants to make sure that they are no exception. But instead of waiting for the game release for players to get their guilds going, they’ve opened up Guild Headquarters in three phases before the 12/31/2011 release of the game. The first phase is to join an already existing guild that you think you would be compatible with, or you can begin your own guild with its own members, that you can recruit. The choice is yours. The second phase will allow guilds to align with eachother to build alliances and finally in the third phase, the guilds that have what it takes will be put into the roster area where other players can join as they enter the game. Players will be free to withdraw from a guild or join a new one at any time, but can only belong to one at a time for each character they control. This means that they can have multiple characters belonging to multiple guilds, but for right now, there is only one guild per player until the game is finished.
For more information, you can go to Guild FAQ that will explain the entire process and how to get started.
