The only real experience I've had with a guild is the one I was in when I
was first getting started. We never did very much, since two poeple in it
shared a computer, but alas, it was dibanded for having too few members. I
have thought about joining a guild, but havn't run into anyone interested in
taking me in, nor have I really advertised that I'm looking for one either.
These days, when I am not battling the scourge of Norrath, I hang around the
Qeynos area helping those with less experience than myself.
