A detailed (to the extent of my memory) history of the guilds I have been in during my GuildWars experience.

Children of Darkness [CoD]
December 2005 - January 2006

Using my now deleted necromancer Heirich Kemmler, I founded this guild in Pre-Searing at level 4. I later invited my siblings, who started playing at the same time as me, and my brother's friend, who started some months before. I made them officers, recruited two more people randomly in Ascalon, bought a cape, and left it at that. We didn't do anything, and as soon as I made another friend in GW, I disbanded it. It peaked at 7 members.

Neo Lyssa Crusaders [NLC]
January 2006 - April 2006

As a level 8 warrior, I was grouping for The Duke's Daughter when I met two elementalists, Seraphitia (water, level 10) and Cynical (fire, level 9). We talked about our guilds for a bit, then went our separate ways after the quest. Soon enough, however, I thought back and decided to join their guild. So I messaged Seraphitia (the leader) for an invite, and she complied, promoting me soon after. I then surpassed the pair of them in level, taking a while to catch up with another officer, but eventually passing him too. I farmed tirelessly (in a low-profit area) to buy us a guild hall, on Warrior's Isle. By the time I bought it (I'm bad at saving), I had also bought dark red platemail and a 10/10 (max at the time) Sundering r13 Ram's Hammer. Shortly after getting the hall, I took a break for about a month (I'd overdone it and couldn't take anymore GW). Upon my return, the entire guild was gone, although it was never disbanded and is led alone by my inactive sister today. At its peak, NLC only had about 15 members, fairly common at the time but still no fun.

Soul Skeighters [SOUL]
April - May

I'd been guildless for a couple weeks when I finally beat THK and found myself at Perdition Rock. I was noticing my lack of cape for the dozenth time when I noticed a guild advertising recruitment in the Chat window. I figured, heck, why not, and asked for an invite on the spot. So I was in, and went to the guild hall. Here I met about half a dozen members, mostly officers, and spent the first afternoon and evening getting to know people. At 40 members, it was way bigger than anything I'd been a part of so far, and it was a bit overwhelming. I got to know a few officers, and was promoted in about a week. Two officers in particular became close friends, named Freya and Rick. So, when these two decided to separate from SOUL and form a splinter guild about a month in, I followed and was made an instant officer. Eventually over half of SOUL joined the new guild, Pyro, including all former officers and the leader. While in SOUL, I got my first suit of 15k armour, Gladiator's, and my first elite skill that I actually used, Healing Hands. I also fought in my first GvG, although the groups were ramshackle and saw very sparse success.

Hellfire Demons [Pyro]
May - June

Formed by my closest gaming friend, Pyro was a PvE-oriented guild of about 20 odd members in its prime, mostly former Soul Skeighters. This was the first real guild I had a significant role in, and I enjoyed it. Pyro is where I came into my own and became a true veteran player, moving away from noobish builds and poor battle strategy. I also became a Desert Runner, and started actually being able to generate income. A rift formed between Freya and the PvErs, including me, and Rick, who led a bit of a movement towards more PvP activity. Sensing the same disastrous GvG that was present in SOUL, Freya left, and I soon followed, being better friends with her than the other members. At this point I went to sumemr camp for a month, and when I returned I found Freya in a new guild.
