    Actually it was probably EverQuest (and maybe UO) that started the popularity of the word "guild," and WoW actually latched on to that for their own systems.
    See, WoW is actually the first blizzard property to really make use of the term in such a way. Equivalent organizations in older Blizzard games were usually called "clans." Calling them "guilds" was something that cropped up in the early MMOs, and has kinda stuck since then. In fact FFXI was the EXCEPTION back then in that it called its system "linkshells"

The questions are stupidly general on purpose and are fulfilling what I need. We were just required to do a survey and I really didn't want to, I prefer observing the speech behaviors myself. If I had more time, I would take your suggestions for sure and have done a better job, but I actually rather dislike the subject of linguistics and definitely not continue with it.
    If you want, you can take the questions I posted and use those for your assignment.
    Personally I like linguistics (I've got a minor in it as of next month and would've majored in it had I not found Japanese) but I can understand why people hate it.
