How to form a guild?

[stefblac]

How does one start a guild on this server? I was told a while back that you need a to get 5 other people in the same zone and /petition and voila, new guild. That said, I've tried this on three separate occasions with 5 different people each time. Nothing so far. I would like to get a guild up and running but if it means holding 5 helpful people up for no good reason each time then it doesn't feel worth it. So can anyone tell me if I at least have the procedure correct?
