After posting my first comment, I looked in the Dutch (my native language) Wikipedia article on World of Warcraft, and to my surprise, I discovered that I have made edits to that article myself in 2007 (ordering random bits of information, and adding subheadings). I had completely forgotten that.

However, within this game, there are a variety of social structures which form larger communities. 1 of these are called Guilds, which are really the smallest clearly identifiable groups, in general, and are generally formed around a fairly broad concept of what the members want to achieve as objectives in the game. Since it is a game with “open ended” play, people are free to seek out a variety of objectives. The most difficult and rewarding ones require the help of others, so Guilds are often formed around the idea of completing the more difficult objectives in the game. I hope that helps.

Excellent post, Syd. I think its your best to date!
