I would like to state a mild disagreement with Gorboth's conclusions. I think
there should be a range of accessability of different guilds. I don't thinkit
should be a players right to join any guild they wish to. It is ok if some
guilds are uptight and
almost impossible to join, as long as this is something you can learn before
you
get heavily involved in the process of joining. At the same time, there need to
be
a majority of guilds that are reasonably accessible, and there need to be some
guilds that can be joined by (just about) anybody.

The problem is that in the wizard community, there is no mechanism for
determining
which guilds should be snarky and which ones should be promiscuous. Every
domain
and ultimately every wizard for him/herself has decided the policy of the
guild.

I think that Gorboth has a choice. Either he mandates a modification to every
guild,
requiring a mechanical way of joining it, or he creates a new mechanism for
coodination between the domains. The first alternative is simple and safe. The
second alternative is more risky, but also promises higher rewards in the form
of richer game play. The choice is not an easy one to make.
