At this point in my MMO career, I’ve been in scores of guilds — perhaps hundreds, if you count quick trials when I tested the waters and found them wanting. Some of these have been the most welcoming social groups I’ve ever seen, while others were toxic, dead silent, or laser-focused on raiding to the exclusion of all else.
I would have a hard time pointing to one or two as the “best” I’ve ever been in, but I can say that I am certainly enjoying both of my Lord of the Rings Online kinships right now and the terrific folks in Better Biscuit Bureau (Treebeard) and Lonely Mountain Band (Landroval).
But let me flip this question to you: What’s the best guild you’ve ever been in? Was it a long time ago… or as recently as last night?
