Guild

A Guild (ギルド girudo) is a term used in online games to refer to a formal group of players with an organized structure and a leader. The current number of existing guilds in Elder Tale is unknown, although there are about thousand on the Japanese server alone.

History
In the events of Log Horizon, many guilds started a widespread campaign to recruit as many players as they can find into their fold in preparation to confront their new reality.

Since then, major guilds began to exert their influence while minor ones became smaller and weaker ultimately ended up being absorbed by bigger guilds.

One of the advantages of forming a guild (instead of an informal party) is being able to rent a guild hall in Akihabara's central Guild Meeting Hall. A guild can rent halls of various sizes, and the monthly rate depends on the number of rooms required.

Battle Guild
A term for guilds who excel to fight in the frontlines.

Production Guild
A term for guilds who are in crafting and business.

Small Guild
A term for guilds who have a small number of members and may have small or large roles.

Dark Guild
A term for guilds who commit atrocities like looting, slavery, Pking, and other crimes.
