It's all about guilds this week -- not only did we have one of the biggest breakups in recent memory (D&T met their end, as you can see below), but on Joystiq's sister site WoW Insider, many of our most popular posts had to do with guild management, in both good and bad situations. If you run a guild or if you're just part of one, it's worth the click on these to get the inside story on running (and crashing) guilds in Azeroth, from now until Wrath of the Lich King and beyond.

I used to run a guild on a very old Korean MMO, and I can sympathize with any and all guild leaders out there.
Just think though, while guilds these days can quickly filter out kids and other trouble makers via their behavior (and the sound of their voice) on ventrilo, I was in charge of 300ish people that I knew only as text. The result of that, is years down the road, I learned that some of the biggest trouble makers (and some of my co-guild leaders) were kids under the age of 12.
I salute you, guild mastering sirs. Would I ever do it again though? Hell no.
