Top Mud Sites Forum - View Single Post - Question: Player-made Guilds

spacelike · 01-17-2013, 01:23 AM

I'm interested in getting into MUD's.
However, I've played MMORPG's in the past and one thing I always liked was having player made guilds and doing in-game events, questing together, etc...

But all the MUD's I've seen seem to have Guilds that are... "hardcoded" (probably not a great word choice) into the game.
So players don't create new ones, you can just join the ones set by the game and advance through the ranks.

What I like about guilds is the dedication players have to them. So my question is sort of multisided.

1) In MUD's where the guilds are set by the game, do players just join 1 and stick with it so there is more of a feeling of brotherhood? Or do they tend to join all of them to achieve "completion" of the game by experiencing all of the guilds.

2) Are there any MUD's with a decent sized playerbase and allows users to form their own guilds?

3) Do MUD's overall just have less 'identity' associated with guilds and focus more on individual player interactions?

I hope my questions make sense

Any answers are appreciated.
