Can anyone you feel lead a guild?
Aslong as they think they could lead a guild they can.
What kind of people should be leaders for a guild?
As a guildleader myself, and knowing where things go wrong in my guild I can say communication is priority.
Does a guild need a goal it strives for to be successful, please give examples of why or why not if possible.
Setting up goals is always a good start of a guild. Since why would you create a guild if you don't want to accomplish something. People have different opinions about what is a good goal ofcourse. Wether its WoE/PvE or Social.
What does hearing the words "WoE guild" mean to you?
Totally devoted to WoE. The members that join do know RO pretty well already most of the time. Most of the time I see them as the people who want to show they are strong by killing other people. And often the members have fun killing others
What does hearing the words "social guild" mean to you?
"A do whatever you like aslong you talk and be active - guild"
Do you feel that a person needs a guild to find success and fun within the game?
Everyone has their own goals. Walking is normal for the one, but walking for someone who lost two legs its totally different. (weird example though xD I hope you get what I mean)
Does a guild in your opinion "end" if the leader(s) is/are not active anymore, or is it possible to find someone else to "pass the torch to" so they say?
A guild only ends when all members loses faith in the guild and have no point staying. If passing the torch solves that problem then it shouldnt matter.
Also like I've said multiple times, I see a guild as a group of people who hang with eachother to accomplish something (even if that is randomly sex talk in guildchat) A guildleader is just a member aswell.. But for WoE guilds that should be different. They have to have some sort of structure. and Someone (or a group) where the members look up to, and follow him/her because he/she knows more/is better.
Final conclusion: Setting up a guild costs alot of time and dedication. Also setting up the right goal is very important.
(Aesthetic comment: Every guild has to start somewhere.... some start better than others, apparently we have to set our goals straight)
looking forward to other posts o.o;
