Not actually a new recruit, but I feel this is probably a noobish enough question, haha.

Earlier I had asked a guild (just caught that I wrote party instead of guild. Gooo me!) member if I could join their party, but they didn't really say anything. I wanted to play in that gate, so I opted to join a random party within the same gate they were in. I ended up in their party, and after playing the level and them not seeming too excited to have me in there (though they didn't kick me after I said they were free to), I checked to see if their party was locked or not. Sure enough, it was locked.

So, if you join a random party, and say a guild mate has their party locked (but open to guild members), could a guild mate accidentally end up in their locked party due to being a member of the same guild? Orrr did they lock it after I dropped in? Hhaha.

Thanks :)
