MAC,
There is no need for an update to combine guilds. If there are 2 or more small guilds that are dying out, they just need to form a new guild, and everyone join. Either that, or ask one of the other guilds to absorb them. There are quite a few good guilds out there, and some would be happy to have new members. ( See other post I have quoted here!)

As to the last part of your statement, it is obvious that they AREN"T rushing the next story update. That's what all the commotion is about. No new content coming out.

As far as there being a guild with max members, there are more than just one!! They also have lost members, and have added new members by picking up from other guilds that have crashed! See Angel's comment, which I have quoted here. Just because there are a few guilds that are still doing well, doesn't mean that EVERYONE is doing well. One stock can double in value on the same day the entire market loses 500 points. Doesn't make it a good day on Wall Street!

Yes, there are 500 hundred people in this guild. There is even a site for this guild.(wont mention)

But I think things like small guilds should be fixed. Disney, how about an update that will let us combine guilds and pick a name for it?

EDIT: Also I do have a warning for the POTCO staff if they ever read anything here. If any of them rush this big second story quest and it stinks...then they should expect a lot of members quitting.

Angel,
ESG is truely one of the special cases. But, you admitted in your post, that they had to delete about 200 inactive members, and some were game founders. Just last night, another guild announced that they are folding, and they were once a very large, well known and respected guild. But, Even with a membership of near 500 members, how many are TRUELY active? Play daily, or at least 4 times a week? How many are ingame at any single moment? And has this gotten to be less and less over the past couple of months? Having 500 names in the guild list is one thing, but if only 60 of them play on a regular basis, when 160 had played before, that is what this is all about.

The sad part about all this is about 200 members were deleted, some were founder accts too. That's how many ppl who have lost interest in the game to continue playing... this is coming from the 6th oldest guild in the game, founded on the day the game was launched...
