DV8, there are still a few members kicking in it, it was a very old guild on lailah, it existed before i started playing and moved to gaia on its second day of opening, unfortunately there are very few people active in it since worm quit.

DR is also Ancient if you are looking for one of the oldest active guilds, not sure if it is 'the' oldest active guild though.

The first guild ever made was Asylum, they were the top guild on lailah before the GRB became a weekly thing and even then remained top for a few months before DR finally moved into first place.

Anything further back than that i do not know of, almost everyone who started playing this game when it was released has left and fewer of those actively read the forums so won't even see this thread.

Lailah and teos were first two servers

I suppose it kinda depends on 2 things in the OP's questions.

1. Do guilds forced to disband and remake due to the merger's naming being ugly for guilds that have common names on other servers still count as "oldest" ones or is the OP thinking they don't count

2. What is the definition of "existing" TGB from Teos is one of the extremely old guilds of the server (aka a day1 one) and it still exists, but solely for the reason of keeping the name alive.

Personally I think those forced to remake should still count, and for a guild to be existing it needs "active" players not just a guild name on the guild list

NOT! Never renamed/remade...and to see the order that guilds were made simply go to the Etin manager in the GRB room. DONT click anything! The guilds are listed in order of creation or at least that was the only way to check before the merge. I assume that listing is still correct.

-This is true for a lot of active guilds. -Eternity- unwantingly became -Eternity--2 after Etain, Gaia, and teos Merged, and then after Lailah also merged, it became -Eternity---2 (wth lol), so a lot of us (original guilds) HAD to disband in order to reclaim the original guild name.

-Active guilds I guessing is what the Op is looking for, not just an old guild name without active members, but dont quote me on that.

UNDEROATH was the 7th or 8th guild on lailah back in Jan 08 was renamed due to harassment from an co leader new name is Family Affair
UNDEROATH was the 3rd or 4th guild made on day1 ( was 2 guilds were already made then when UO was created there was 4 so another guild was made at same time ) guild made on gaia and is still there

after -Eternity- became -Eternity-2-2 we left guild [it still existing] and remade it correctly.
-Eternity- was made about one week [max 2] after opening of Teos.

Teos opened Apr 25th 2008, roughly five months after beta.

I think Etain opened Dec 18th or 19th 2008, and Gaia Jun 2nd or 3rd 2009. I believe I still have a guild leader toon made on Etain Fury the day Etain opened, but that guild has long since ceased to function.

I had Teos and Etain switched...sorry.... Even so, probably the oldest ACTIVE guild around would be DR...... Active is the key word...
