@steemmonsters has said they're releasing Guilds very soon.
https://peakmonsters.com has been preparing for this possibility

BENEFITS OF A GUILD

Things may change and there's probably a lot we don't know about Guilds however at the moment we get the sense of a couple of things:

• Being a part of a guild may decrease the cost of things you buy with DEC
• Being a part of a successful guild may increase the amount of DEC you can earn.
• There will be a chat system for guild members
  I'm guessing there will be more to it in the future:
• We believe non-live tournaments can be guild vs guild and will likely have rewards
• We know boss fights will eventually come and will be for guilds.

SHOULD PEAKMONSTERS DO A GUILD?

That's the question of the week.

• Should we just do one?
• How would we decide who makes it in?
• How can peakmonsters use it to promote our website?
• Can peakmonsters even pay to make multiple guilds or do we have to have alt accounts buy them?

WE HAVE BEEN SAVING UP DEC

Over the last month+ we have been buying hundreds of dollars of Cards for the express purpose of burning them for DEC... just in case we wanted to make a guild. (also because it was good economics and supported the BID market)

I did a quick tally and we're up around the 900k DEC worth of cards.
(BTW... coming soon peakmonsters.com is looking into account values including the DEC value of your account)

##MULTIPLE GUILDS BRAINSTORMING?
The following ideas are just outloud brainstorming by @jarvie ... we still want your ideas.

• Perhaps peakmonsters can accommodate many of it's users as a perk for being a valued customer and create enough guilds to house everyone searching for a guild.

• If a user has spent more money they are probably better stacked with more cards and therefore similar level users will be in guilds together. We can look at lifetime usage of peakmonsters and that may qualify a user to be in an entry level guild or a more exansive guild that has unlocked a higher level on splinterlands.

• It's almost like multiple stages of a "maverick system" we would pay DEC to unlock more levels for different guilds.

• We could of course create plenty of lower level guilds if there are a lot of smaller users who are looking for a guild. And then for our best customers we can spend the money to unlock a much higher guilds. And maybe there's a way that even lower level guilds can work to unlock a higher level when they have worked hard to upgrade and face a building cap... we can perhaps help them out even at that point.

• Then perhaps set aside one guild as the premier guild that is based on performance (best players) from other guilds. Where there is fluid movement from other guilds into that guild. Almost like a PRO guild.
  Therefore a high level guild could have the same perks as the premiere guild and if that's what our users are most interested in then that will be a nice perk to give the users. However there can be the guild that means business and is ready for war and has some fluidity in and out of the guild based on performance.
