Guild Alignment: Freeport or Nothing?

[Shyrn]

<p>Pardon my newbie question, but this is a newbie forum.  I'm a lvl 19 warlock on Blackburrow server, Qeynos aligned, and I am starting to do some research on guilds.   On the web site looking for guilds there are freeport alligned guilds and there are non-aligned guilds (I call them non-aligned because they seem to have people from both sides and also the 'alignment' column is blank).  Am I misinterpreting something?  Why aren't there any Qeynos aligned guilds?</p>

Thank you, though I noticed that.  The thing is though there are also 'freeport' alignments specifically listed, several pages of them, and several pages of blank alignments.  There is not even 1 qeynos alignment, however.

It's a non-issue.. the alignment of a guild on PVE servers doesn't matter.  Don't concern yourself with it, it has no effect.

<p>To the OP:</p><p>I have no idea why there are Freeport aligned guilds listed. I checked a couple on my server that were listed as Freeport aligned and several of them had Qeynosians in the guild. I assume it is some bug with the EQ2 players site.</p><p>As far as I know guilds on normal servers don't have specific city alignment at all. You 'could' form a guild of people all from one city, however there would be no restrictions other than self-imposed ones to inviting folks from any of the other cities.</p><p>Pretty much only on PVP is there alignment for guilds (possibly on the RP servers as well, I seem to remember there being restrictions there sometime back).</p>

Currently it has no effects. Why it is like that may be tracked back to launch. At launch there was a larger gap between Freeport and Qeynos (mail, friendlist, etc.. didn't go across the alignments).

<p>Thank you folks for replying.  I was afraid that if I joined some guild they'd all be hanging around near freeport and the commonlands etc and I wouldn't be able to get to the guild hall and stuff because the city guards would hunt me down.</p>

RP servers don't have anything different at all in the ruleset btw, the only thing that separates them from a normal PvE server is that it says (RP Preferred) next to their names on the server select.
