The problem with that is that the guilds that make almost the entire population are pretty much inseparable. I think the easiest way is to disolve Harpy and Vyper altogether and use the groups we've been naturally forming to make two new guilds. Not only will it solve the population problem, but it'll feel more like a guild when it's made out of groups of friends.

And I'm not "squelching" anything. The established histories are already part of the groups we'll be forming. What I'm saying is that the groups that naturally form over the course of the RP, those who have established histories together and those who form new bonds, will be kept together.
