Currently the screenshots are messed up and are being taken in Landscape Mode instead of Portrait, so I had to cut the bottom off and the right side was cut off by default, so I apologize in advance for Nexon's screw-up. :B I reported them about this, of course, as that's my job as a Tespian.
Thought I'd give you guys a preview of the new guild UI. You can now purchase skills that work for your entire guild. These include a Crit-boosting buff, EXP buff (at level 1, adds 2% more EXP for 30 mins), Speed buff, Movement buff, DEF buff and more. One of these is kinda neat, provides 20 potions to your member every Monday that fully heals HP/MP (no time restriction). :B The rest of the buffs last a good while; from 30 mins to an hour. Their max levels are all level 4/5 as well, save for the potion-giving skill, which is level 10 at max.
Your guild gains levels according to the GP you have, as you can see above. GP can now be obtained through leveling up and simply being active instead of just Guild PQing. You lose GP if someone gets kicked/leaves, which is good since that system can easily be abused otherwise. You also need your guild to be a specific level to use some skills. Your contribution, GP-wise, is also shown.
Oh, and guild masters can now pass on their title to others! This is good for those who know how to manage a guild and have an inactive guild leader who needs to pass on the job to someone else.
Unrelated to the screenshot but also in Tespia: Body Boost is still glitched. Reported Nexon about that too, hopefully they'll actually notice this time.

Earn GP.
How do you level up a guild?
Hey, what happened to our 150k+ GP?
MADNESS I SAY. MADNESS.
MAD ENOUGH FOR ME TO LOG ON AND RAGE.
...or is this tespia?
[quote=Valentino]So I can start a 1 man guild..?[/quote]
That's right.
[quote=Sujinpuffy]There's never a foolproof way of solving an issue, this at least solves it for some people.
For instance, a leader who is inactive but members still have contact with could simply log on and pass leadership. Or if a leader makes a guild and passes leadership to a mule he/she never logs into, so as to not have the guild be destroyed through some sort of freak incident like an account hijacking.
This is a very useful tool in several ways. It may not solve the problem of an inactive guild leader who has no way of logging on but if there's some sort of access to it, it's great.
[b]Also, more good news:[/b]
You no longer need a party to make a guild. You can make one by yourself now, at the cost of 100k. Guild creation NPC's also in several towns, she transports you to the Guild Hall and you end up back in whatever town you were in when you leave.
Nifty, eh?[/quote]

I wonder if there will be another guild exploit like the auto-guild disband hack from back in the day.
Bet a guild stealing hack is released within days of this patch.
[quote=Akatsuki0826]Uh, even with the new leadership passing, an inactive leader could STILL kill a guild. I'm pretty sure its the leader who has to pass the title. If they're inactive, how can they?[/quote]

Can you get a Guild Chair after making or joining a guild?
[quote=ilikepiez5]GPQ = gets removed after this patch.[/quote]
Who on earth said that? KMS still has GPQ, so does Tespia.
Why does everything maplestory does seem like they copied it from world of warcraft?
this is not the exception..not saying its bad, i think its great, all these new changes, but cant stop thinking its becoming like wow.
Guilds have levels now?
Dats gonna be the sh it for a long time
Intriguing...
Also... expensive for a 2% exp boost T_T
[quote=danageis]Uh, just use 'print screen' and copy into MS paint xD. You don't NEED to use maple's ss's.[/quote]
Yeah, I actually forgot I could do this, despite being used to doing this before on a laptop with no real Scroll Lock key, haha.
Why is the button called 'leave a guild' -_- why not just 'leave guild' or 'leave the guild', this implies that there's multiple guilds you can leave at once.
2000,000 mesos..
DAM YOU NEXON FIX BODY BOOST >:O
What if i add a lvl 1 character to the guild and level it? Probably wont' work or not well right?
[quote=toastyc12]I believe the skills had a cooldown.[/quote]
Nope, no cooldown.
[quote=toastyc12]The current state of GPQ is that GP is not rewarded after each PQ. The 0 GP in the Guild info is a display glitch, as the guilds on the Guild rock still have GP showing, despite not having any GP in guild info.[/quote]
Pretty sure my guild's GP did not change after I checked the rock right after GPQing. Anyway, that's not the point right now, I just confirmed this from a KMS player;
GP WILL be wiped. So for those who already have hundreds of thousands of GP, that will be gone once this patch goes live.
Awesome~!
Lol our guild fails at GPQ anyways ;~;
[quote=iLoveForHer]Wah! That kinda sucks! Is there a limit as to how many times it can be used?[/quote]
As long as you have the mesos for it, they can be used as often as you want. They range from 800k to... I'll go ahead and say 10m, but that 10m is the activation cost for the potion skill. Highest range for use is probably a bit cheaper, but not by much.
[quote=Sujinpuffy]I'm pretty sure GP has been wiped for all guilds ever since the Big Bang patch. My guild's GP has been at 0 for the longest, even after GPQing. o_o[/quote]

Tespia is dead for me, I have the PIN glitch that seems to be infesting many other accounts.
Is GPQ still open and accessible?
@iLoveForHer , I believe the skills had a cooldown. The person using the skill has to dish out their own mesos to use it though
[quote=Sujinpuffy]It affects the entire guild. Anyone can use them, just tried as a non-Jr.[/quote]
Wah! That kinda sucks! Is there a limit as to how many times it can be used?
[quote=Nyekun]Wait, for the skills, can anyone use em or what? Or does the guild leader or JR have only the ability to use it? Does it affect only the user or the entire guild when used?
So many questions.[/quote]
It affects the entire guild. Anyone can use them, just tried as a non-Jr.
[quote=Ilovepandas]To those that already have high GP from before this patch, would they already have a head start?C:[/quote]

Have been guildless for 3 years. Time to change that?
We have like 10+ people afk for 24 hours + at a time, this is gonna be awesome LOL
At above, yes, you can pass guild leadership.
So inactive leaders no longer kill a good guild.
[quote=ViPrincess]o.o what do you mean by passing titles?
like even guild master titles? o_O[/quote]
You can pass leadership of the guild to whoever you want.
o.o what do you mean by passing titles?
like even guild master titles? o_O
Title can be passed?
Yes! Finally!
Thanks for the info man.
