Hmmmm

Crew bonus's make sense, they encourage people to play together.

Guild bonus's based on volume of membership?
Is this what a guild is defined as? Such implementation changes it so.

Guilds: A contest to see who can get the most members, and thereby the most bonus reps as they play.

Having owned/managed an online gaming clan (ie guild of sorts) for over 9 years now, I know how people twist rules, glitchs, etc to take advantage. This would be twisted as well.

Having also helped to manage/operate a game server company, offering a dedicated server per guild would not be cost effective. I sincerly doubt that to this day, there is any one guild that has the volume of members online day to day to warrant thier own server (maybe if all thier members were on at once, but not a likely prospect).

A compromise might be a way to reserve a dedicated server. Have them setup a couple 'guild servers' that could be reserved by guilds for specific dates/times/events.
