Why so many new guilds?

[myriverse]

The system will control itself. Either a guild will thrive and grow, coast and stagnate, or decay and die; each on its own terms. No one should find any problem with it. Not every guild is going to reach TMO levels; not every guild wants to.

Edit:
As of a month ago, according to the P99 Character Database (which is done from parsing /who queries), there were about 260-odd guilds on the server. That seems like a shitton, but I think the guild "One Man Wolfpack" exemplifies the true nature of P99 (in name, at least). By the FREE nature of P99, people are free to create and create until their hearts are content. Here is a guild that seems to have reached its goal right out of the gate: a one-man guild.

Think of how many Level 1 throwaway alts are just collecting pixel dust, not even being used as mules. The same is likely true of guilds.

Maybe today I'll create the guild "Cats on the Moon."
