????* Can anyone you feel lead a guild?
-No. Being a leader as some have already said need a few key qualities.
????
????* What kind of people should be leaders for a guild?
-People who are open to communication and others views. (Hope this makes sense). This doesn't necessarily mean that he/she needs to involve any decision making with the guildies but it is nice to ask others for their input or listen to what they have to say. After all, you aren't a guild without them!
-Being actually AROUND is also good. I mean you don't have to be on 24/7 and life is a bitch sometimes but who wants to be in a guild if their own leader seems dead?
-One who can handle tough decisions for the good of the guild and the members. Why be a guild leader if you don't care?
- Friendly. <- I don't think this needs an explanation......
????* Does a guild need a goal it strives for to be successful, please give examples of why or why not if possible.
Sure they do in order to keep peoples interests up. Whether it be trying new dungeons or holding a castle. People tend to leave if the guild has no future.
????
????* What does hearing the words "WoE guild" mean to you?
-WELL, from my experiences the explanation can vary. As you know it was centered around, well, 'WoE'. Whether it's partying to get your character stronger or hunting items. It was constantly busy so you didn't have really enough time to chit-chat unless it was to the party itself. I wouldn't say all are elitist, just that they're too busy to sit down with you.
????
????* What does hearing the words "social guild" mean to you?
-Social guilds are more oriented around well, socializing. Not so much woe and a bit more relaxed. Social guilds seem more interested in making friends and going with these friends to kill MVP's and such.
????
????* Do you feel that a person needs a guild to find success and fun within the game?
-Not necessarily. When Saii and I joined HeRO we didn't join a guild off the bat. We actually did pretty well forming our own. It was thanks to Rain and Pictish though that got our guild off the ground. Never forget it you guys.
????
* 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?
-I can't really say for sure. It can go both ways.
