Quote:Sylvestra was cool, but I think it was a mistake to have had each guild wear a separate linkpearl. It segmented the members too much and I think such a thing would only have worked if one could wear both their 'guild' pearl as well as the overall LS pearl at the same time (which would be a swell idea for FFXIV to implement, but that's probably just wishful thinking on my part).
After that, the big issue with guilds was lack of interest. Everyone usually wants to be near the top rung of the ladder, and joining a guild seldom allows for this, at least not right away. Scant memberships led to frustrated leaders led to the creation of NPC 'underlings' in a lot of instances. Squires in the knighthood and pirate crews and such.
It will be interesting to see what happens with this though, with a much larger pool of RPers.
When I was on Starsider I was in a guild called House Blue Lotus that was sort of that idea. We hosted a social open to all on Friday nights which was very popular while HBL's leaders were around. When a lot of us stopped playing it stopped.
Maybe I should try some themed RP night like that like I do for Sfant Umbra in some kind of organization. lol
