Guilded is a platform catered towards gamers.

History

Guilded was initially released in 2017, but came out of beta in 2020[1]. It was created as a personal project by Eli Brown, a former Xbox and Facebook employee. It first appeared on r/wow subreddit as a communication tool for World of Warcraft players. In 2021, it was announced on platform's blog that Guilded is joining Roblox, but as an independent platform. In July 2024, however, a requirement was set that all accounts must be connected to Roblox. This caused a lot of backlash, including the shutdown of ReGuilded, the Guilded modification project. On October 9, 2025, it was announced that Guilded is shutting down on December 19[2][3]. Not long after, an export tool[4] was published for users to preserve their servers.

Features

Compared to other chat applications, Guilded boasts an incredibly wide set of features. When creating a server, after choosing a name and (optionally) an avatar, users get to choose what games the community of said server plays. After which, Guilded suggests choosing the location and the platform on which the games are played by the members.

Choosing a game region

After configuring the games, the creator may choose the server type and server's timezone. Servers types include:

  • Team
  • Organization
  • Community
  • Clan
  • Guild
  • Friends
  • Streaming
  • Other

Guilded has a wide selection of channel types:

Channel creation modal
  • Chat
  • Streaming
  • Voice
  • Calendar
  • Schedule
  • Announcements
  • Forums
  • List
  • Docs
  • Media

Channels can be public (visible to anyone) or private (visible only to server members).

Among other neat things, Guilded servers include groups (commonly known as "sub-servers"), a built-in levelling system, ability to import a Discord server template, Twitch, and Patreon integrations. Guilded also had server subscriptions with three tiers: bronze, silver, and gold, but they were discontinued around 16 October 2025, when it was announced that Guilded will shut down.

Interface

Guilded has two interfaces: Simplified and Legacy

  1. Simplified interface was introduced after Guilded's full release. It's more close to traditional chat app interfaces, such as of Discord or Slack. The right side has a pane with channels, groups, pinned servers, direct messages and user information. Upon clicking the "All servers" button next to user info, the main elements slide to the right, revealing the server list, as well as buttons for creating a new server, accessing the discovery, direct messages, user profile, and a search field. The interface soon after became the default.
  2. Legacy interface is the original Guilded look, used in Beta builds. It featured a unified panel on the bottom of the app. The buttons for discovery, direct messages, etc. were on the left side of the bar, in the middle were the servers, and on the right - the user information. Users could enable it in Settings ⇾ Advanced before March 17, 2025, when it was fully superseded by the simplified view.
