    Not sure what you mean. Guilds were basically run by egotistical 14yo with too much free time back in the old days you describe too.

      Yep. I remember playing vanilla WoW and seeing guilds with names like “Sapped Girls Can’t Say No”, “Naga Stole My Bike”, and “Seal Cub Clubbing Club”.

      I believe WoW was the tipping point for this. Never had these experiences with older games like Dark Age of Camelot.
