[@Caits] I've checked the guide book to see if I could find anything about how one does start a guild but there's no info on that topic there. So, how do I do too start one? I was thinking about Minako creating the Aincrad Arts and Crafts Association to gather all SAO's PC merchants under one banner sometime later, after I've raised the funds to do that.

Guilds will be available later (originally set to 10th floor, but going to change that)
The details of setting up a guild, I believe, are still being decided, but there probably won't be many prerequisites.
Maybe x members and x col (but of course you can have NPC players (not NPC NPC) joining so yeah, easy numbers)
If we feel like it, we might make it some sort of quest just for the fun of it
