Quick tips

  • Keep the full name to two or three words so it fits in Discord, game menus and on a scoreboard.
  • Say it out loud on voice chat. If it is hard to shout during a fight, it is too long.
  • Match the tone to your group: serious for raid guilds, playful for friend parties, shadowy for thieves.
  • Check that the name is free on your server and that a matching Discord invite name is available.
  • Avoid jokes that only work this expansion. A guild name should still feel right a year from now.
