IMO not a good idea for a few reasons:

A) I like knowing when my guildmates are online on other servers (obviously they have to be on tag) because otherwise I'd assume they weren't on.

B) Changing global guilds to local guilds doesn't instantly improve guild activity. The other aspects of the plan (guild bases + events) can probably still work with globals.

C) Having only local guilds (using era as my example) is really annoying for visitors because you really feel excluded. Plus, forcing people to join a guild they might not care about rather than represent one they care about is not very cool. I'm sure some people wouldn't mind joining up a local guild (assuming we have 3 main ones,) but other 'hard-core' guilders might not want to put down their favorite guild tag so easy.
