What is the average life span of a typical guild? Two months? Six months? A year?
One thing I notice with every MMORPG I play is that guilds come and go faster than players do. Guild leaders get sick and tired of running a “dead end” group of people, give up playing, or just go join another guild as a member. Goal oriented guilds eventually die off mostly due to inactivity after the “goal” was accomplished, or lack of fun. Some guilds break off dramatically in a hail of fire and slanderous remarks.
I personally have always wanted to start a guild, but looking at the track records of other ones, what does it take to make a guild last a year or two? What kind of people does it take, what kind of members, leaders, associates?
