Let us ask you this question: are you interested in building up online relationships with otherwise anonymous individuals who just happen to play the same game as you? Or you more of a maverick, content to roam the lands of your MMO or horse game on your own, oblivious to what’s going on around you?

Whatever your answer is, we’d like to add that joining guilds, especially in horse games, is very essential. We get it - guilds can be bothersome in MMORPGs, because they attract the ire of other groups and could disrupt your “peaceful” existence in games like World of Warcraft, and many others.

Here’s the good news - guilds work in a totally different concept here in the realm of horse games. Instead of fostering player versus player violence, guilds in games like Star Stable are actually meant to foster positively reinforcing relationships between players. Here are some things that you can expect from other players if you join their guilds.

First, you get a lot of help when it comes to grooming your horse, and breeding new ones. Guilds in horse games are meant to provide a venue where players can exchange information with one another. That’s what forums are for too, but guilds are perhaps the best way through which you can engage another player in real-time conversation and get some advice.

Do you need somebody to run a friendly race with so you’ll know how your horse is doing? Then joining a guild makes that easier for you. There’s always someone who’d be happy to help you with that. Instead of spending in-game cash entering into races and finding out the deficiencies in your horse’s performance the hard way, having friends in a guild lets you do that totally for free.

Well, step into any horse game and there are so many guilds to choose from. You will have to spend some time going over each of them and see what kind of people are in there. You’ll probably have to get to know a few of them, especially the admins, so you can ascertain if you can jive with them or not.

Most of all, know their rules. Each guild has its own set of rules that they operate with, and these rules, more or less, can vary according to each guild’s rules and goals. Some may be overly strict, while others maybe lax enough that you can do almost anything that you want. You can go around “guild-shopping,” so to speak.

Guilds are a great feature of horse games. You should not shy away from joining one of them. Owing to the less competitive nature of horse games (as opposed to MMOs), people are generally very friendly here. You’ll feel right at home, provided that you’ve taken the time to pick the guild that you’re going to join in.
