This system has been designed as a direct replacement for Graal's Global Guild system, which has not been maintained properly for a number of years now.
One of the main goals of this system is to eliminate multi-guilding issues on a competitive level, however the flexibility to create non-competitive or "Flavour of the Month" guilds is also offered.
This Control Panel can be opened my quickly by saying the command '/g' which can be customised within the main Options menu.
Those within an activated guild can set their desired tag either by using the Tag Selector item provided with the Control Panel, or by saying 'setguild NameOfGuildTag'. When using the setguild command, a guild name which contains spaces must be wrapped in quotes, "like this".
Guild Activation
Upon creating a new Guild it must first be approved by a member of staff in order for it to become activated.
In addition to staff approval, it is also required to recruit a certain number of guild members before the tag can become wearable. These numbers vary according to the type of guild, which can be seen by browsing to the Guild Types tab.
Upon member count decreasing below the required minimum, a Guild will become deactivated but will not face further penalty. Should it raise its number of members to the required minimum it will become re-activated.
Multi-Guilding
The amount of Guilds which can be joined varies according to guild type. While competitive Guilds are restricted to being able to join one only, non-competitive Guilds offer greater flexibility. The exact numbers can be seen by browsing to the Guild Types tab.
As there are multiple guild types, a significant difference to global guilds is that you can create one guild of each type, though it is not possible to transfer guild leadership to a member who already leads a guild of the same type.
When attempting to create or apply to a new Guild, your current pending applications will be factored in, which means you can not create a competitive guild when you have already applied to one.
Guild Rights Information
Similarly to global guilds, rights are assigned to a Guild Rank, which are then inherited by members of the relevant guild rank.
Hierarchy also works in the same manner as global guilds, with it only being possible to affect members who are either part of a lower rank, or are part of the same rank but joined the guild at a later date.
One right offered by this system is the ability to edit rights, however those with this privilege will only be able to modify rights which are enabled for their own rank. For example, if a rank is permitted to edit rights but not permitted to recruit, members of this rank will not be able to modify the recruitment right for other ranks.
Another right offered by this system is the ability to remove players from the blacklist, which for global guilds is restricted to the Leader.
All email addresses stored on this system are only viewable by members of the same guild.
Global Guilds Policy
Global guilds can be created within this system, however on the condition that the registrant is within the top two ranks of the global guild.
When creating a new guild, both the guild's full name and tag are checked for a match with a global guild.
For global guilds created in this system, it is not required that players be a member of the global guild in order to apply for membership. It is also possible to transfer leadership to a player who is not a member of the global guild.
Recruitment Options
Copied over from global guilds is the ability to set a password for membership applications, which if desired can effectively prevent applications from those who have not been given prior permission to join.
In addition to passwords there are two other optional ways to restrict membership applications:
Minimum Hours - Require players to have reached a set number of online hours before being able to apply
Minimum Kills - Require players to have obtained a set number of kills before being able to apply
*The Guilds Control panel can be obtained within the building to the left of SuperNick's Battle Arena, aka the pyramid located in the North of Graal City
Can the VIP guild be added? No one really has the appropriate rank except Unixmad, ibonic (is he still active or even around?) and stefan (left graal sad to say).
It's the one reliable global guild tag i have had for years.
The VIP tag actually works even if a server has global guilds disabled.

I'm not going to put out dirty laundry on the matter, but will say that this would certainly not be happening otherwise regardless of who is in charge of the project.
