man 600 to 10000 people would piss me off fast.

They bumped the limit up to 1000. Ultimately, there is going to always be some limit, and 1k seems large enough that most people will never encounter a problem. Hopefully the chat changes they’re discussing will come sooner rather than later.

Since you’re a fan of The Guild, you may want to consider joining the Knights of Good on Zangarmarsh…it’s several hundred members strong and pretty active.

Love the comic!

Yikes! My mind boggles at the idea of over 600 guildies! I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that there are some guilds that big, I guess I never really thought about how big “the big guilds” really were. The biggest one I was in was 20-odd people and all co-workers at my company.

I feel for those affected by the cap, and I hope Blizzard will help guild shards amalgamate somehow, even if it’s just leaving “hooks” for addon coders to build with.

Although I have a toon in AIE my main guild has worked hard to keep the membership below 500 because the in game guild tools cease to work (fully) at 500. (That’s why you can only see 500 people on in AIE even when many more are on.)
In a sense they are adding 100 to the toolset but adding a hard limit for adding members (which didn’t exist before.)

All in all it makes sense with guild membership actually having an impact on the game beyond bank, chat and tabard. I expect tools to spring up to allow some collaboration/cross communication between segments of a formerly larger guild so that the social component still exists. How each guild will work raid participation and etc. for the guild achievements will have to be worked out by each guild.

From the official WoW forums, it looks like AIE is having a guild meeting this Sunday to discuss.

There’s always the Undead Necro-guild option… In addition to plans like ICftB have, allow unlimited entry into the existing guild for people who just want to have a toon (playable or not) in The Largest Guild On The Server (or perhaps The WORLD! Mwahahaha!).

IE keep the Extra Large guild around just for the yuks, with the serious raiders and other interest groups moving to guilds in pocket dimensions. If people still Do Things in the ELG, they do so knowing that nobody new will … pretty much ever… join again.

Yepper, got all my toons in AIE. Hoping that the officers can come up with a good solution.
