guildtype

Guildtype refers to a classification or categorization system used to describe different types of guilds. In the context of video games, especially massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), guilds are player-created organizations that players can join for social interaction, cooperative gameplay, and shared goals. Guildtype systems help players understand the primary focus or purpose of a particular guild, allowing them to find groups that align with their interests and playstyles.

Common guildtypes might include "PvP focused," indicating a guild that prioritizes player versus player combat, such as arena battles or world raids. "PvE focused" guilds, conversely, concentrate on player versus environment content, like dungeons, raids, and quests. "Social guilds" are primarily for players seeking companionship and a community, often with less emphasis on structured gameplay. "Crafting guilds" might center around in-game professions, specializing in gathering resources and producing items. Some games might also categorize guilds by their level of commitment, such as "hardcore," "casual," or "semi-hardcore," reflecting the time investment and intensity expected of members. Understanding guildtype can significantly improve a player's experience by helping them find a suitable community within the game world.
