Summary
- World of Warcraft is removing the Guild Name Change service from the Shop and Battle.net in favor of an in-game feature.
- The in-game Guild Name Change will cost 200,000 gold, adding to the list of recently retired paid guild services.
- The change hints at the upcoming release of Patch 11.1.5, speculated to arrive on April 22 with the Guild Name Change feature.
Starting from April 22, Blizzard is discontinuing the Guild Name Change service from their Shop and Battle.net. Instead, they’ll make it possible to change a guild name within the game itself, at a cost of 200,000 gold. With this upcoming alteration, presumably in the next content update, you won’t find any more guild game services for purchase on the World of Warcraft in-game store.
In the recent development, Patch 11.1.5 for World of Warcraft has been released on the Public Test Realm. This update offers players a firsthand experience of what’s to come. Delving into the game and its data, enthusiasts have found a new feature within World of Warcraft itself, enabling them to rename their guild without needing the paid Guild Name Change service available in the shop.
Starting April 22, Blizzard has announced that they are making it possible for guild leaders in major cities within World of Warcraft to change their guild names for a fee of 200,000 gold. Additionally, this Guild Name Change service will no longer be available through Battle.net and the in-game shop after this date.
WoW Guild Name Change Service Leaving Battle.net
Currently, altering a Guild’s name in the game market costs $20, equivalent to the price of a single WoW Token. The worth of the in-game currency can vary, as it did when the $90 Brutosaur mount was launched last year in World of Warcraft, but it typically hovers around 250,000 gold. Therefore, this recent change to the in-game Guild Name Change will usually cost less than it used to. The data mined details for this feature hint at a restriction allowing only one guild name change per year, however, the official post does not specify any limitations. Players will have to wait until April 22nd for more specific information.

In July 2024, the in-game store for World of Warcraft stopped offering the Guild Realm Transfer and Guild Faction Transfer services. Once the Guild Name Change service also leaves the shop, there will no longer be any paid guild services available for World of Warcraft.
The announced change in game service on April 22 strongly hints at the release of Patch 11.1.5. Previous indications from the PTR (Public Test Realm) of World of Warcraft’s Patch 11.1.5 had suggested an April 22 arrival, and the upcoming guild name change service being a part of this update makes this date even more plausible. Fans can expect Blizzard to make an official announcement soon.
