So, I don't even know if I'll get my 3 players minimum, but I'll start with one question.
To anyone joining or considering joining, would you prefer that lorewise it's Day 1 for every guild and like... The map is one island of The Connection.
Or do you prefer that some of the guilds that will appear in the game are more experienced than others?

I don’t mind having there be more experienced guilds as well, although assuming that also translates to them having more gear and abilities hopefully we won’t be thrown into a fight with any of them before we’re ready.

My plan is to have one guild per location (on Day 1 at least, I'm unsure if I'll add guilds in Season 1 or not), so which guild you interact with depends on where you explore and when.
Therefore, I cannot promise you won't have to fight a guild too powerful for you. Which isn't that bad if it's Morning or Day, since losing a fight doesn't mean you're losing the day.
What I can promise though is that: 1.I won't force an inescapable fight against something you can't defeat. 2.If it's Night, I won't have a guild I don't think you can possibly defeat as what is between you and daily victory.
Basically, I'm not against putting you in an unwinnable situation, but I won't put you in an unwinnable situation you cannot flee from. Unless it's Morning and I want to make a day about your guild getting revenge on another guild who party wiped you.

I will start the discussion, I can deal with having only 2 players. There's still time for other players to join and they can join even if the game started.
So.
Do you guys have an idea for your guild's name? This will affect the NPCs I include in it at the start of the game.
Also, I will answer with minimum details if you want to ask questions about one of the location, but between all locations, except Connectown, where do you want the players guild to be?
My suggestion is to be as close to Connectown as possible, but if you want to make the game harder, I have no issue with it.

Sorry, just wanted to word it better and forgot a question.
Question 1: Do you guys have an idea for what you want the guild's name to be? That name will also extend to be the guild's theme and therefore the NPCs you start with will be picked in relation to that theme.
Question 2: Which location do you want the guild to be in? The closer to Connectown, the easier the game will be.
Question 3: What do you think the home should look like? Is it a town with each character having their own home? A giant hotel with every character having their own room? Etc...

OK, I'll brainstorm some name ideas By which I mean use a random word generator and turn them into ideas so if someone else has an actual idea yeah Brickabrack Guild Guild Lightfoot The Hopefuls Shell Tears Witchward Cavaliers of the Consciousness Eaux (I don't have an idea for this one it's just a weird word for a generator to spit out) Cross Domination I don't have any particular starting place in mind For the guild design, how about something weird A subway where you ride a train between different rooms Giant ferris wheel with each 'car' being a room Uhhhhh log cabin, totally normal log cabin with different rooms, it's just weird because it's a log cabin and log cabins are cool

I think Shell Tears, Witchward and Cross Domination are the ones I might have ideas for, but this is really between you and Fuzz

I mean I’m as caught up in 14 as I can be without doing the content we were going to do as a group, the main obstacle is that I’m not great at coming up with names Out of those, The Hopefuls kind of fits with the theme of trying to save everyone’s home worlds with the supplies won, I guess?

My current suggestion:
Hopefuls + Treeline of Accomplishment + Log Cabins sounds like something which fits together for me.
