How to Leave a Guild in World of Warcraft

Last Updated: November 8, 2021

You knew you shouldn't have started an in-guild affair with that saucy, white-haired Night Elf - it could only end in heartbreak. Luckily, your enchanted leather boots (Minor Speed and +9 Stamina) are made for walking, so that's just what they'll do.... right out of your guild. If you've never left a guild before, you may not know the menu and text functions for leaving guilds. Luckily, both can be accessed and used in seconds so you can leave your guild right away, before things get too awkward.

This is the window which shows all of the guild information.

A menu will drop down from your name with several selections.

A confirmation window will pop up. After confirming you wish to leave your guild (click 'Accept'), a yellow message will appear in the chat box saying " YourCharacter has left the guild", and you will no longer be in a guild.

There is no confirmation window when you do it this way! Instantly a yellow message will appear in the chat box saying " YourCharacter has left the guild", and you will no longer be in a guild.

Question

If I am by myself in the guild, can I leave or delete my guild?

Community Answer

You may leave it, or you may claim ownership and disband. But claiming and disbanding is not a cool thing to do.

Question

How do I leave a guild when I am the guild leader and the only member?

Community Answer

As the only member of the guild, what you essentially want is to disband it. This guide should help.

Warnings

Be absolutely positive you wish to leave the guild. You can not come back unless you get invited back by a high-ranking (officer level) guild member, and most guilds frown on players who drop their guild and then want a reinvitation.

Note that your reputation will be down graded one category once you have a joined a new guild. For example, upon leaving a guild with Exalted reputation, in your next guild you would be Renowned.

When you use the text command, there is no confirmation window that pops up. Be careful about using this command!
