5 Secrets to Picking a Good Guild

by Ron Keith

Is there a more important MMO decision than choosing a guild to join?

A good guild helps you level faster, gets you through the tough dungeons, and gets you the best gear. A good guild helps you out and makes the game more fun. A bad guild will leave you soloing and constantly struggling and might even make get you frustrated enough to quit the game.

The guild you choose can be the difference between you enjoying an MMO and hating an MMO.

And yet, how often do you just join the first guild to toss you an invitation? Your guild choice shouldn't be treated as casually as picking a movie. (Eh, if it's bad, you're out 10 bucks, so what?) Picking a guild is usually something you're going to live with for a while: Even if you eventually decide to leave a guild, you're going to stay with your new guild a bit longer than your typical movie – Unless you're talking about Titanic (Just drown already, Leo.).
