View Full Version : Stuck in "invisible" guild

Server: Apoline
Guild: Fajii_Saikoro
Characters: Allnighte, Substance_Chick, Boxie (all belong to Allnighte's account)

All of these characters were listed as being in Fajii_Saikoro, and had no problems using the chat and guild functions. All characters were listed as regular "Member"s in the guild.

At about 10am Feb 13th, I logged out of Allnighte and into Substance_Chick to do some decomposing. Everything was fine, until I logged back into Allnighte. I couldn't use guild chat, and noticed on my character screen that it said I wasn't in a guild. The guild screen comes up blank.
I asked an admin of the guild to add me, and she said I was already in it (her IGN is Azalea_Daear, she was the only admin online at the time). Even though I was logged in, my name in the guild list is grey, but on her friends list, I am listed as being online.

I relogged thinking it was just a glitch, but a relog didn't help. I couldn't click "leave guild" - it said I wasn't in any guild.

When Azalea_Daeaer tries to kick me, she gets the "Failed to ban the member from the guild" error.
I told her to kick Substance_Chick and Boxie, and she was able to with no problems. We both tried relogging a few more times, but I'm still listed on the Fajii list (other guild members can see me on the list as well), but my character Allnighte doesn't show as belonging to any guild.

I PM'd Dakkon who got online and tried some things. He invited me to his guild, which was a success. And I could leave his guild with no problem. But I was still listed in Fajii and still can't be kicked. He also tried some other things (don't know what he did) and said they didn't work either. He advised me to wait a few days to see if it might go away on its own. (maybe a server reboot would fix it?)
Dakkon also said he could try deleting the guild, but since members can't be added back automatically, I would prefer if we only did this as a last resort.

Will update the thread in the near future.

/edit
the only thing that changed on my Allnighte character between the time I logged in this morning and the guild bug was that I used the following from my bag: Santa Suit, Santa Hat, Dog Sled. I also purchased and used: Teva (7 days), 20% Exp boost (30 days), Hunters War Rant (30 days), HP/SP boost (30 days).

A little more info about this morning:
I logged in this morning from Roumen (which was when I used the Santa stuff and Sled), went to the Roumen PVP zone, went to Elderine through Sea of Greed, and to Uruga through Collapsed Prison. I also visited the Uruga PVP zone, and then went back to Uruga just before I bought the new Cash Shop items, and then I think I used them before logging into Substance_Chick and the "invisible" guild bug happened when I went back to Allnighte.

So since Dakkon could add me to his guild, I decided to ask Azalea_Daear to just add me into Fajii_Saikoro. Here is what happened:

two Allnighte's in the guild, and both of them would appear online. Everything in guild chat become duplicated as well.


And then I asked her to kick me (first the top one, then the bottom one, both gave the same result, which was the following)

I could see the guild chat from everyone else, but I couldn't chat back. One Allnighte would be left in the guild (sometimes online, sometimes offline, but could still never be kicked).

Various combinations of relogging and kicking and adding and leaving, and we found that:
If she adds me (so there are two of us in the guild), and then I relog, the duplicate chat problem goes away. Two Allnightes still exist in the guild, but at least I can participate in the guild chat and menu again.
