because people have this need to lead something... :P
or maybe because if you wait \'till CB, someone else could take your idea
or most likely because this way you have well organised guild at the beginning of CB and can play it instead of working on guild...

And they have something to do while waiting for CB coming out like organizing the guild, threatening other guilds.
There was btw a pretty cool guild, the dutch troll squad, unfortunately it was assimilated by the cabal :(

Seriously, i think the main reason is that the only thing you can do currently is guild stuff. Spies, leading, disbanding and stuff is the only fun things you can do right now. (yes, i really mean spies are fun imho - but because i or YOU think they are fun is not a reason to spoil the fun of others by causing disbands of well organized guilds).

1) Its fun
2) Helps build friendships with new people
3) Guild Roleplaying
4) Helps pass the time waiting for next release

 These are just some of the reasons to join a guild or start one and if you got your act together, you can make a really good guild! Nothing wrong with lots of guilds, nothing at all..so why ask the question?

Well, I suppose a stadium is kinda like a stage. :P

Seriously, what the others said: we\'re bored.
...and ya know, you can meet people and make friends as well.

The problem is that there aren\'t really any recruitable people, all of them are already in a guild.

Dunno about anyone else but if someone thought that looking at a bunch of websites was too much work they wouldn\'t gain access to my guild...

Actually if you consider the fact that there are over 150,000 registered chars in game and thousands registered on the forums as well and only 20 or so official guilds there is a pretty large target audience for recruiters.  Though of course not all those who registered are active.[/COLOR]

Ok, there are enough people that can be recruited, but most (if not all) don\'t worth being recruited, whether it\'s inactiveness, n00bism, or whatever.

I just don\'t understand why there is always that comment, oh another new guild *hmph* see how long they last, or the one made on this thread asking why so many? Does it matter really? They are trying to advance the community and start something that will quite possible include other people and entertain us with their disputes and celebrations! If you have a problem with guilds just stay away from them and be a freelancer simple as that, don\'t come on here questioning our motives in PlaneShift!

Yuh. And then there\'s the game of guilds, which is a vast web of politics that everybody who\'s anybody (Well ok, not everybody, but most) is entangeled in. \'Tis the intrigue that makes it so intriguing.

There are a lot of guilds because its cool to be around that share at least some of the same ideals as you do. Also it\'s good to have people you can count on (hopefully). And...think of a guild as a big brother. If you need help hopefully and most likely they\'ll help you out.

But if your a freelancer (which I\'m not implying you are, but just stating) then you won\'t have much back-up for what you are doing.

Another reason, most of the majority of the people who been here a long time, do belong to guilds, so most likely when you join a guild there\'d be someone who knows there way around Planeshift.

Yes, how many registered on the forums have <5 posts? that brings the number down to...400? And those who are actually active in discussions? 100...those in a guild? 90...
Yes I do think that there are not very many people to recruit.

There are alot of people who are very active in-game, but have never visited the forums for various reasons, so they don\'t even know about all these guilds. I know of one guild in-game that is pretty big but doesn\'t have a site set up and never visits the forum...the Black Rose? or something like that. I met the leader last night and she told me about her all-female guild...interesting concept. But thats besides the point...
