I have a question I hope someone can answer is it possible for a Guild owner to leave their Guild without it kicking all the other members out? ---

The GM can demote themselves. Then, they can leave the guild like anyone else. ---

> [@Ashasekayi](#): > > The GM can demote themselves. Then, they can leave the guild like anyone else. Thanks! How does that work? I mean, can the outgoing GM chose who to promote in their place, or will it automatically default to whoever is ranked immediately below the GM position. ---

When there is no leader, as the next level down, you can promote a person to leader from there before you leave ---

> [@Theicla](#): > > I mean, can the outgoing GM chose who to promote in their place, Yes. AeroCloud is correct. Also, if the outgoing GM leaves the group before making the promotion, he/she can contact support and get the change made that way as well. ---

Thanks for everyones help it worked a treat and my old Guild is in good hands and will carry on being a easy going no rules Guild,but its also good to be care free and easy going again and as a Level 495 player to just enjoy the game without the pressure of running a Guild.
