where you can see this:



But only the first part of the highlighted sentence is enforced, cause you can do this:
1)You own a private and a Guild house where you are GM.
2)You make another character that join a guild with a house (maybe bought by a friend or a second account).
3)Your friend makes your second character GM of that guild.
4)You can MAiNTAIN both Guild houses
4b)In practice you can redo 2-4 more times, till max of 8 guild houses for account (edit: per world).

can someone pls confirm this is working as intended? cause for me the MAINTAIN word is key to the issue. English may not be my mother language but i understand that what is wrote IS NOT what it is happening.
The keywords are purchase AND maintain, you can run multiple FCs with one Service Account (8 in total) on one world.

If your friend in your example would not give you leadership of the 2 man FC but stopped playing, leadership will transferred automatically to you after 60 (?) days, regardless of your leadership of the first FC, so SE is clearly fine with this, its not against the rules and reportable.
