Guilds are a way to manage social contact – having friends online to group or talk with, ways to get questions answered right when you need them, having reliable people to do dungeons with (this is super important).

Examples: I’m in 3 guilds. One is a typical we-play-together guild, where we do jumping puzzles together, run dungeons together, etc. The other (I rep this the most) is a cross-server social guild. The purpose of that guild is to make sure that people always have somewhere and someone to talk to. We have a very lively guild chat so even when soloing I don’t feel alone, and also do a lot of dungeons and things together when people are on the same server. The 3rd guild is for reole-playing, where people get together and act out stories with their characters.

Guilds do give some mechanical benefits – boosts, guild bank. But they’re mostly a social thing to help you find a group of people you want to hang out in Tyria with.

So is there a good way to discover these types of social guilds. I’m just dipping my toes back into this game and would love a lively guild chat to be part of.
