This brings up the question of cross realm guilds. A lot of players just use their guilds for chat and group content. Chat would be the only thing missing. There would still be a place for normal guilds too. Many guilds do events where their members meet somewhere in the persistent world. That wouldn't be possible with cross realm guilds. A lot of players would appreciate not having to worry about server transfers just to get in a good guild.

Raiding is one thing but I think guilds go a bit too far. All you would be able to do is talk to the other person and you can do that via realid, or create a chat channel for all the people you want to talk to together.

Not to mention it will be insane to code, be annoying to grasp who is or isn't on your server, and if they all shared a guild bank you could transfer items and money across servers, you could make a toon on a different server and take control of the AH over there with absolutely no effort involved.

It does sound good at first, but it'd be easier if they just spent the 25-55 to transfer over.
