How many guilds are there now, exactly?

Are new guilds actually filling though? Does a level 20 that decides to make a guild get 5+ members within the first week without advertising? Do they actually maintain numbers, or do they just leave to higher guilds or even inactive? Does a newer player advertising a guild stand any chance compared to other guilds? This person is towards the upper of the lower end, yet still is likely to get little to no interest Looking for new guild members .

Most of those questions don’t need to be answered, but do need to be addressed in some way. It could be that it is running smoothly, but from what I have seen and heard it would appear otherwise for developing guilds. They are too limited by:

  • the number of guilds
  • the lack of ability to recruit, and therefore rise
  • hard to compete with other guilds, even on the low end scale, for time = progress
