The first thing I\'ll like to point out is that never believe surveys. They tell you nothing.
The last survey that I saw told me that \"all bearded men are happy\" and the one before that said \" most politicians are honest\".
(moreover I wasnt included in this so called survey. Hence the resentmentX(

).
The best thing you can do read all the threads in the forums. That\'ll give you an idea about who is serious about their guilds and who is kidding around. Most threads dont tell you jack about the guilds except the starter post.
They will contain details of members visiting poland, people\'s unhealthy obsession with wftpcutekitties, killing germans, why illyria is actually a man, why the members of the guild think that they are the coolest, useless one-liner discussions about imaginary scenarios, ppl holding races for crystals which you can find lying around in the gutter anyway, which guild the devs have joined(that could be useful though), what the guild would do if the members finally found the time to move their asses, guilds making alliances because the other guild leader is their buddy from school or summin\'.
I admit that I also post things to confirm my image of a evil jerk and general brickbats(but that\'s beside the point as you are a good guy and wont join me anyway. But if you change your mind go through the cabal thread both first and second).
Anyway the game wont tell you much either as mostly you\'ll find an uncanny similarity between it and a chat room. You might hear Draklar asking Bobodar if he\'s a dev. and generally fantasizing about cheese. Or you might hear ppl shouting things to each other which have absolutely nothing to do with the game. This will also not enlighten you about the guilds in any way.
there is however another way out. You could post in the newbie help requesting our resident Moogster for advice. Her advice is certain to be the fairest and most rational. I am also good but currently I am blinded by rage at not being included in the survey. How could they ignore the most hated guild in Yliakum?
Yours sincerely
