Just got this email

@ZOS_GinaBruno This is just as important if not more important that fixing French localization, this needs to be fixed ASAP. Some of us who take running our guilds very seriously are being affected by this. I've had to turn away at least 20 people in the past two days because they can't join. This is absurd that this is not being addressed.

This has also been a problem for me. I have been trying to recruit to my guild but it seems as though people who are in 4 guilds cannot accept the invite or if they do accept it, it doesn't go through. Please fix this ASAP. I've worked very hard to organize and create this guild and this is really impeding our growth.

None of the things that you mention has fixed the problem.  This is an MMORPG game and "the known issue" is a little bigger then something that should be "resolved in a future update".  I have been a member and active (paying) since the game launched.  This "known issue" needs to be addressed and moved to an urgent matter.  I am not one to give threats; however, this pulls away from the fabric of a MMORPG game.  Glitches and bugs I know happen, but honestly the response of being "resolved in a future update" is a copout and as a paying customer makes be feel unvalued and unappreciated.  I would like a reply back with a more definitive response along with a time table of when this be fixed ----as an urgent matter.

Thank you,

On my account I am currently in 4 guilds; however, when I get invited to join another it says that I need to drop a guild. I should not have too drop a guild if I am only in 4 guilds. Does my account have a glitch or issue going on with it?????

Got same bug...

Must be hard to debug something like this..
if ( count guilds[] < 5 ) then
{
canjoinguild = true;
} else
{
canjoinguild = false;
};

Although my bet is on that the guild you leave is somehow not getting deleted from players database entries and is still being counted.. It took a good 20+ seconds when I clicked leave guild yesterday before the game responded and showed the guild being removed..
But what do I know, I'm no Zenimax developer

Gonna throw my voice in the masses and say it's happening to me too. Would appreciate a fix ASAP. (And no, it's not my PC hardware, which ZoS loves to blame when I send in a ticket)

Hi @Zenny - shouldn't you at least tell people not to drop their 5th guild in the hope of joining a different one for now ???
Maybe put up the announcement in the same box as the cr$wn store items when logging on?

Same here, can’t join a 5th guild, still needed to submit a ticket you think or not?

Edit: cannot even connect to support for submitting a ticket....

i've had the same issue, submitted tickets....

does anyone know.... would this work? : with 4/5, cant join no matter what. if i quit another, and had 3/5, would i be able to join a 4th and then possibly a 5th if no other invites were sitting and waiting in my notifications? (which could 'technically take up a guild slot')... im not willing to try this. but im just wondering if there is some ghetto rigged work-around for this problem..... or is it just = once u have less than 5 right now, there is absolutely no way to get 5 again.

Can't join a 5th guild this is strange never had this problem in the past. Might have been that Clockwork City patch that had brought this problem on.

No fix for this in todays patch, according to patch notes.
