One big RP guild would never work, ever. Far to many people are dedicated to a guild they have been in for years, far to many bad feelings between certain people and it also comes down to the fact people have different goals and idea's of what they want from a guild for that idea to work.

To add something positive, I see one problem in the community being this, events being planned on the same night at the same time by people not taking other peoples work into consideration. And that's not aimed at any one person or group. A few weeks ago we had one evening with three major events! With the low number of players left, well. Everyone {within reason, i.e. brigands robbing swaggers then going there next evening for ale wouldn’t work} making an effort to attend one public event at a time, might actually draw large numbers rather than guilds competing for numbers during public events.
