The Daily Grind: How does your guild decide which MMOs to play?

0
Earlier this week, one of the most well-known multigame guilds in the MMOspace, Gaiscioch Clan, published an article by Benjamin "Foghladha" Foley discussing just how it decides which MMOs to set up shop in. Foley argues that some big clans host so many chapters that the members feel disconnected from the core, and so his guild has come up...
