Wait, you mean your life isn't already legally bound to the GOG forums? Lightweight.

I love the idea of the game. I don't like the execution.
The politics, the intrigue, the acting behind other's backs is what could make it so amazing and compelling. The problem is that you are bogged down with keeping your trade going for much of the game time as the AI of your employees is so incredibly bad. And sadly organising your company isn't particularly fun. It's just repetitive.
That said - I am not into multiplayer - I can see it gaining a lot played against human opponents.

I like the Guild 2 - Renaissance, does that count?
And yes, I do own the Guild gold, bought from this very store, but I haven't even played it yet :D

LOL - Yes well I'm sorry I'm not the savant at The Guild that you are TheJoe :)
Apart from some of the repetitiveness I find myself struggling to stay profitable 90 percent of the time while my competition is getting titles left and right. Even into a second or third generation it feels much the same.
It does seem like a great game at heart, I just want to be better at it but feel like I need some guidance. Is it a normal experience to struggle with your first generation character?
Please enlighten me with your Guildly magnificence ^___^
wpegg: TheJoe has obviously not been so keen when it comes to helping out those that bought the game. I'm afraid the site I think you've found (europa1400.something) is all there is. The Guild is not some masterpiece that needs to be found, It's just a game. Not bad, but not particularly impressive. In no way worthy of its own thread.
Sorry Joe - but it's not that good. Yeah that is the website. I found it rather unhelpful unfortunately. I feel that the Guild could be a fun simulator if it didn't seem so repetitive. But even its repetitiveness could be forgiven if I knew of a way of making the experience more rewarding. Instead I really do feel like a 15th century serf toiling away :(
