Re-Inventing the Online Family (guild)

Last night the majority of the active players on the guild broke away from it's original roots and re-invented itself. Most of us active players have been frustrated with two of the three GM's (guild masters). They wanted to merge this guild into a uber guild to do end game quests, instances, and etc. There was massive resistance from most of us, because we liked the atmosphere of the guild, but found that these GM's where not invovled int the guild - they were involved in themselves.
I've been in a uber guild before, and I gotta be honest...although it's nice being able to do instances knowing the people in your guild (you hope)...it's a pain in the next. There are usually disagreements, arguements over character builds, how to play, etc etc etc.
I realized this morning that my guild doesn't do this. We chat often about silly things, life (not seriously), help in quests, cool stuff. We even send each other things to help each other along. It's a small guild, but these wild crazy guys make me laugh, enjoy my time, and the support is totally cool.....even if I'm still the only girl.

Hi!

Guilds suck. everyone's always so into themselves and not the other people in their group.

I've opted out of most opportunities to join guilds, but then again, I'm only a level 26 elven babe, and I think the other dudes just want to stare at my tits.

I've found that most alliance guilds don't do a good job assisting their fellows.
I've also found, that you really don't need a guild until around the 40s. Then things start to get tough without groups or assistance from guildies.

I can't play an MMO without a guild at some point. I have a blast early on, and then eventually get lonely, even if I've got a circle of friends. "Family" Guilds are great, though.. everybody knows everybody, and it's about friendship first, 1337-d00d crap .. not even second, more like seventy-third.

Well, I take that back. They're great until either they become way too *much* like a family, where everybody's either cyb0ring or bickering, or until they melt down. Then again *every* guild melts down eventually, I guess. In WoW they seem to self-destruct every 3-6 months. :P
