Jedi’s Council


How to leave a game/guild (or a podcast), graciously…

It’s really not that hard to leave a guild with style, leaving the door open for your potential eventual return, and reinforcing the friendships you are leaving behind. A few tips:

  • Make a thoughtful goodbye post. Let folks know how they can find you now that you’ve left the game/guild
  • State honestly, but courteously, why you are leaving. Good examples are: leaving to raid more, to raid less, to play on another server with RL friends/spouse, or you joined a gaming company and can no longer play with your friends on the podcast each week.
  • If you’re leaving because your RL is a bully or you have another such personal conflict with a guildie, or because Chris keeps beating you in PvP battles, your goodbye note is not the right place to get into those gory details. You are trying to make a graceful exit after all, remember? Stick with something honest but more general in such a case, such as the guild did not turn out to be quite the fit you are looking for.
