Also open to suggestions on best policies regarding importation of gear, spells, et cetera. Goal is to try to strike a balance between the (fun) challenge of being stuck in one zone, without crippling entire classes, et cetera.

Maybe grant a certain number of importation waivers per member? Top 5 items or spells you want to import, you can?

Crystal Caverns - The guild is comprised of people who have renounced the surface world and choose to live underground in the dwarf city.

Stonebrunt mountains - The guild consists of explorers who have gathered in the most remote part of the world.

Everfrost Peaks - This could be fun just for the challenge of seeing how high you could level without ever leaving the zone. I believe Ice Giants can take you to 60.

Qeynos - The guild all stand inside the rodcet nife UFO and wait for the day it takes off for outer space.

Warsliks Wood - The guild lives in the underground tunnels/caves connecting to LOIO.

Timorous Deep - The guild is composed of shipwreck survivors who washed up on the shore of the hidden inn island.

This one comes with free Kool-Aid.

Very exciting idea. I have put some thought into an odus only guild ruleset but never made any real moves towards trying it. Here are my suggestions:

1. Characters must be guilded at level 1 and bind on odus at that time.
2. The only way to leave odus without being booted is to bank your weapons and armor. You must travel the rest of the world naked.
3. Any character level 2 or higher found exping outside odus is booted.

Great solution that keeps things challenging. Very clever.

Possibly freeport or commons as well. But yeah if you can't buy spells or train then it would suck

I like this rule set...I’m in provided the guild name doesn’t suck

Stonebrunt Mountains.

Ocean of Tears.

As non-city, non-starting zone suggestions go, this one is pretty good.
