Status points - do they move guilds with you?Follow

I have some 10000 status points racked up in my guild, but it looks like it may dissolve soon. If I join another guild do my points go with me, if they make me a patron?

And just out of curiosity, if they do, does that become a factor in whether you are made a patron in a guild, is anyone here an officer of a big guild, would that be a consideration?

I realize I don't really have that many points yet, but I'm just curious.

So my questions are:

1. Do points go with you from one guild to another?
2. If you aren't a patron and you earn points, and then become a patron, do the points you earned while you weren't a patron suddenly show up, or do you only get status while you are a patron?
3. Do guilds decide to recruit members based on your status points, or do they use your existing status points as a factor in deciding to make you a patron?

I'm sure the answers are out there, but I haven't had time for an exhaustive search, and my brief search turned up almost nothing useful! Thanks for any info provided.

I had status points in my first guild, which pretty much died so I left and joined another guild. I started up in the new guild with 0 status. Any status I earned since joining has shown up. Are there other criteria for determining whether your status moves with you?

I did not lose any of my personal status.

I am definitely not in the top 12 in my new guild, if that matters.

My guild is level 16 also and we have a trial period of around 6 weeks. Seems like a sensible thing to do.
