I usually say i'm going to join a clan but then find a good group of people and end up making one for us instead. We will see if there are any I "fit", Finding that right group is never too easy

I prefer to join some large guild. Why? The more of us the merrier
I like getting to know lot's of people.

Really? I feel like in big guilds there's generally less connection between the members. This is part of the reason why I prefer small or semi-small guilds, so that everyone really knows each other and enjoys each others company.

Well, I typically keep my guilds small... Just like my circle of friends. It consists of mead, myself, and I. You get the point, I am a solo kind of mage. Ehhhh on second thought I will join a guild with a smaller crew maybe 10 people max? I'll do anything for the right amount of coin though...anything.

Sincerely,

We are still deciding what we will do.  I did say we, I am part of a group of players that have been together for multiple years and multiple games and hopefully Ashes will reunite some that have spread their wings a bit right now.  The problem is that we have each had our turn as Guild leader and/or officer and we may want to follow rather than try to herd the cats.  But we have time to consider our options and see who would be crazy enough to have us.

The first guild I was GM of was a guild for newbies. I recall, very well, the patience that my first guild master and officers had with me as I asked my "Stupid Question of the Hour." It was in WoW, and at that time, I made for all newcomers to the game, who joined my guild, four netherweave bags and gave them 10g. 

That was a big deal, back then.

I really, really enjoyed watching people as they grew to love the game, as they grew into themselves. Some left the guild to join progression guilds; it was great for them, and we kept in touch. Some left the game, but we remained in touch.

I think, for me, the primary focus of my guild involvement will always be "How can I help someone's game time be more enjoyable?" That doesn't mean I'm trying to be everything for everyone; rather, I found what I'm good at. I'm good at building folk up. I'm good at coordinating activities. I'm good at finding amazing people. So the guild we make for Ashes will have those components; I'll be one of three "leaders," which just means there are three of us who're willing to play cat-herders. We will likely be small(ish), but I anticipate we'll grow together and, as time goes by, we'll grow as a guild as well.

I'm all in favor of things that grow slowly, organically; these things tend to last longer, and that's my ultimate goal for a guild. One that will make friends, share friends, and last for a good long while.

I love this idea. I love people helping each other. I think that is the real endgame. So many are out there to get to the top, then insult others for how they need to git gud, without offering constructive help. I think it is counter-productive. We will need a community that supports each other if we are going to be solid enough to fight what the world brings us. I'm not saying that a typical guild can't offer that, but I love the idea of a helpful guild.

All of you are more than welcome to join the one I am already in. I would love to be hanging out with more good people. Especially those of you that take time to chat I'm not mentioning the name of it here, because even though it's a topic of discussion, I think it would be rude. So, just know that I would love to have you there.

I'll play it by ear as it where. If I am being PKed to much and I feel like I need to join a guild, when the game comes out I will find one to join. I'm not sure if I would go for a big one or smaller one. I would quite like to go with a smaller one.

I rather not join a big guild, I don't like them;  I like smaller guilds. However joining a big guild making friends and then leaving that big guild to form a small group with the new friends, would make up for a cool story.

preferably I would like to make my own small guild (10-15 people would be enough). And be a kind of mercenary guild that helps people for free and provides services for a fee.

PS.
Also in my personal experience big guilds tend to bring negative aspects with them like zerging and server domination, these are a few of my fears. I just hope that there will be a place for small guilds as well as large guilds. Would be interesting to see smaller guilds employing guerilla tactics against large guilds.

I hope to form a new chapter of the guild I am currently in once ashes launches, I am the GM of the eso chapter atm but not the gm of the guild overall. There have been several guild mates who have backed ashes and a number of others have shown interest. With launch being so far off they don't see much point in investing time into anything yet.
We are only a smallish guild with 20 or so active playing eso with another 20 or so spending time playing various other games, people drift in and out as time permits. Have a fairly strict 21+ age requirement and a zero drama policy which I have only had to enforce once.
I have been in many guilds over the years and at times it can be hard to find the right fit, now I hope to move into ashes with many of the people I have come to know over the past 3 years.

I usually like to see how a guild interacts first before I choose. 

I'll probably decide at some point just based on how said guilds members act in the forum, discord and early alphas
