Hey all,
 
About two months ago, one of my characters was promoted to officer of my guild. fast forward to now and the GM has been inactive for 46 days and not responding to PMs. Is there a way to take ownership of the guild, or is it forever GM-less?

			Get in touch with support is your best bet. However they may not be able to do much, so you'll probably have to reform in the worst case scenario...

I would refer to it as something other than "GM". GM implies "Game Master", or support staff in other words. Gets confusing.
 
Anywho I think Jackospades answered the question quite nicely. Take a peek at his link. Odds are it'll help out at least a little.

You can initiate a guild vote to select a new Guild Leader I believe.
 
Have an officer use the command /gvote to kick things off. I *believe* that should work.

So I started a guild with my real-life friend, who has now stopped playing.  He would log on to promote me to guild leader, except that he is unable to log in due to authenticator issues.  I told him how to resolve, but he is too busy and doesn't care enough to take his time to help me out.  I am the only officer in the guild besides my alts.  So I started a /gvote to get one of my alts leadership of the guild, but it never passed.  I don't know if that is because the same account can't vote twice or what.  I logged on another alt to /vote, but I don't even understand how the voting process works.  I don't actually see anything to vote on or know if vote even worked.  So really, I just need one of my alts promoted so I have control since he's told me that he's never going to play again.  
 
For anybody that can help, please promote Sylvaea to guild leader in <Chaos Vector> on Avatus because the /gvote thing isn't working for me.  You will see that Durg is the guild leader and has been inactive for several months now.  Being that only my alts are officers in the guild, it should be a no brainer that I gain control.  It would certainly be nice if there was a more simple way to /gvote where applicable voters were informed in some way that a vote for guild leader replacement has been initiated.  As it stands, there is no visibility and more than a few guild leaders have simply abandoned the game without bothering to pass leadership on.

Only people with the Vote option in their Rank settings can actually vote on a new Guild Leader, you need a majority to promote someone.
 
So to get around it you'll wanna make sure your alts all have voting power, or if you can manage the Rank settings to give people voting power. A sneaky way to do this would be to create a new Rank with voting powers and just promote enough people to this rank so you can win the vote with minimal user management. the idea being that maybe you remove all the voting power from people who aren't the guild leader and your alts.
 
Then clean out the fuel from the production PoS, steal all the blueprints and blast Alliance cha... errr wrong game....
