The answer to your question above is go to the guild master in your major faction city and select the dialogue “I wish to form a guild”. This will now give you a guild charter which when you have received five signatures you will be able to return the charter and form your guild.
WoW has Guild Master Vendors in every faction city. Speak to a city guard to request directions to this vendor.
Request a guild charter from the vendors and then seek four fellow player’s signatures.
Upon reaching four signatures from fellow players, it’s time to return to the vendor to form and name your guild.
Be careful, double check and triple check your spelling as it will cost you real dollars to change your guild name late on.
When naming your guild in WoW it’s great advice to avoid anything rude, lude or having odd unique keyboard letters in the name.

Guild Setup Guide – Final Thoughts
Having a guild in World of Warcraft is one of the most enjoyable experiences. Playing WoW without a guild can sometimes feel lonely.
However when you are a part of a guild you like and enjoy, you have friends and members to group up and play with. This improves your game experience in World of Warcraft.
As a veteran WoW player of 18 years I advise all new and returning players to look for a guild where they fit in. Joining a guild will make all parts of your World of Warcraft journey more enjoyable.
