This section/post in the topic here is one that hopefully will grow more precise as time goes on and not just for me. Although it wasn't my intention at first, when typing this I realized how helpful this could be to not only newbies and people looking to switch guilds, but just for the heRO community in general. We'll see what everyone else thinks.
(Please do note that in these examples, not all of my gathered information may be correct, please tell me and I will gladly update. This is in alphabetical order.)
Nya Nya Crew - Closed/near-dead. Re-opened breifly by Saiichi Bloodbane, but now it seems he has left the server..or so I was told. So, likely closed.
Ascension - Another Guild that is very active. However it's leader (Trowa) does seem like a nice guy, I'm not sure that the Guild is able to get parties together that are what I'm going for..and they are VERY WoE focused it seems.
Aegis Storm - An art guild.
Fun. Not for me, but fun.
Aesthetic - Seems to be a nice Guild, one that may just fit my needs, but it seems to be in a large state of flux, without a leader or much organization and is trying to figure out what to do with itself.
Update: They appear to be rebuilding themselves making, strong, faster, better than it was before--*ahem*erm, alright maybe that's not quite right, but they are being more active again. Though I don't think that it's the group for me, still a bit too sporadic. They are building up WoE plans. I wonder what they are.
Algid Skepcis- Linked with Divine Service. Far too inactive. "Revives" and goes inactive again. Guild leader won't have it anymore. (Heh, I don't blame them.)
Akuma - A basically dead Merc Guild.
Behemoth - Well that's obvious. They are going strong. However, they seem to be very WoE oriented and not very much so for the sort of things that I'm wanting to do. If you haven't already, please read that up above.
Bamboo Squad - Talked with some people in this one for a while, it seems like and this is one of the groups that I have been leaning towards. They aren't as WoE focused (though they still do it), and seem to be active. Yet someone else told me that they are less active that it may look. Any info on this?
Bushido - Like it says in the forums, they are a "Support Guild" so don't really think they fit.
Coffee Break - Guild is not open at this time and is looking for a possible guild merge. (Shame, looked like this one might work for me. Oh well.)
Death Dealers - Dead, at least for the moment
Divine Service - Linked with Algid, closed/shutdown don't know why.
Fires Of Heaven (Alternate Guild "Brushfire Fairytales") - This one certainly has my attention. MvP, partying, looks like it's sizable without being too huge--though it seems to be bigger than I thought. Don't seem to do any WoE, which is a bit of a bummer, as I would like to do some of that. Still, highly considering them and would like to know more about'm. However, the fact that there leader just came back from not being in charge for a while worries me, but seems to be going okay.
Update: Matrim has explain his leave of absence..how dare he have a real life, ha ha. Anyway I'm okay with it and only a bit concerned about what would happen if he left again for a while. Seems like it has happened before and survived.
Flying Pancakes - Oddly enough I do not know much about them, though I have been seeing a lot of them lately. They seem to be fairly new (2months older than me), but are high up on the Guild Ranking. Would like to know more.
Geonosis - (Most of it has transformed into MogNet) This one really REALLY has my interest.....but there link here in the Guild Section hasn't had a post since December and that does not bode well. Not at all. Anyone know if they are active or not? I may post on there soon and see what I can find out.
Update: Leader said he is too busy for full-time Guild and is part of MogNet. Soooo..yeah. Likely won't be restarting for a long time, if ever. Refer to MogNet.
Lordz of Anarchy - Dead, at least for the moment
Lucid Dream - Looks nice, but still up and coming and no on the top 100 yet, so not for me right now.
MogNet - (Many members came FROM Geonosis.) Looks good, I'm considering you, though that you switched from one to another is a bit--concerning, but you seem to be doing fine.
Nocturnal Echo - Disbanded, Coffee Break was a guild for it's alts
Order of Chaos - Old, old WoE guild that's pretty much dead
Seraph - Deadish. A WoE Guild. It seems to fit what I'm looking for. Not sure about there fate, but seems dead. They were run by a bunch of "Super Noobs" and the guild is "under new/old management". Likely not good. Heh.
As best I can gather, these are the Alliances. I would very much like to know more of them a bit, as that may certainly effect my decision. Please inform me of any info that needs changing or adding.
Alliances:
Divine Service, Frozen~Flame, Fires of Heaven, and Reprisal
