I was browsing through some old UO-related screenshots and came across some with listings of the largest guilds in UO. Seeing these made me wonder what's become of these guilds. Are they still active? Have they grown or shrunk? Which guilds are currently the largest ones in UO and how are they doing for membership?
Here are the names and numbers from those lists from March 3, 2011, starting with the top 20 guilds in the entire game and then the top 10 from each shard, ranked by their total recently active veteran characters (characters with 700+ in real skill points):
