I\'d say there is something to be said of guilds having a creation fee - its that way in Knights Online. It prevents a bazillion one hit wonder guilds cluttering the database, but I think that there should be a reward for having a guild date back to Molecular Blue, or Atomic Blue. At this point if a guild predates Crystal Blue then it has already proven itself to be a worthy guild as far as activity and the like.
I could just be saying this because our guild SoR has been around since MB, and I don\'t like the idea of having spent so many many hours of my real life dedicated to a guild that I\'ll suddenly have to \"earn back\". I\'ve already earned it in my opinion, and so has everyone else who has been around that long leading or co-leading a guild. One of the main points of having a guild fee is preventative of spamming guilds, but there is no need to make existing established guilds pay to recreate their guild. Also it means someone could beat you to the money cap and create a guild with your name and there would be nothing you could do about it - your guild would effectively be lost. I call bull$h!t.
