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 :)
I'm not sure, but it does make sense that that could happen. And I'd say that if your guildmate didn't want people to join him he should have set it to invite only. So that's his problem, not yours. =)
