"Have every single person connected/engaged!!"
Yes one sentence that summarizes what a good guild should be.
I am not a big fan of big guilds in general, as it's much much harder to have everyone on the same page. Not saying it is impossible, but the leader and the cores have to work much harder to keep everyone connected. Drama? Quarrel between members? Tbh wouldn't even happen if the group is tightly knit. However if a drama is at play, I disagree with simply kicking whoever out - that's not a solution, it's simply running away. Again "connected" is key, if everyone wants to kick - obvious solution there...
What I look for when joining a guild?
Don't hate me for this - I look for how CONNECTED the guild is within and to me. Say it definitely feels welcoming when members greet me when I come online, and since I like that feeling I do ofc do the same when others come online (just an example, only small guilds can really pull this off). I have been soloing or dueting with static partners for quite a few years now, but if I join a guild and my solo/duet gameplay is still as is ... I would question why I joined this guild, especially at end game and forced pvp/battleground type games.
Have you ever run a guild?
Yes, couple years back I use to run quite a few OnRPG foreign game guilds and couple English just release type of game for OnRPG as well. Tbh people on this forum are pretty easy going and friendly or obvious trolls, no major issues besides the active thing, which I have no comment as I am one myself as well (SORRY

).
Then I joined up at Loli aka Steparu.com, small very tight guild, there were no members, just Steparu and bunch of cores. It's not an active searching for member kind of guild, as we mostly play with each other, but occasionally we do pick up randoms and get new recruits and eventually new cores or via friend invites. At the beginning at least, the guild is now completely different.
The last guild I created /slash gathered is Requiem (O

Genesis (C

in Fantasy Earth Zero, my ign was Tales if anyone is wondering ... couple unexpected drama near the end and I found out I am not a good leader, one single event took place against my repeated "request"(.../order, I went to bed/sleeping when the event took place) and I stopped caring and left myself, very irresponsible.
Tips ... I was a cruel, bad leader, no tips =( gl bb /runs away
