I think someone, way up in the thread, mentioned 'RP friendly' FCs/guilds. I second that so much :3 Commit, or don't. There's no doubt a market for the more casual style, but if you're a roleplayer, it just makes sense to have a guild that's a little more dedicated to the roleplay in my eyes.
Cliques are also a big thing. Sadly, they spring up in guilds of all sizes, and I've seen small communities fall apart, and larger guilds implode due to them, so if they're spotted, they get stamped on wherever possible.
And the most important thing? Timezones. Being an EU player has led, in the past, to some depressingly quiet times as the largest and most suited guilds all seemed to be US-based, with regular events at awkward times mid-week, or just frustratingly late at weekends. A problem that is, sadly, prevalent across just about every game with global servers.
A lot of the EU-based guilds may be smaller overall, but at last I can be confident there'll be people on at the same time as myself.
