I agree to pretty much everything Luda said as well, however, his ideas about families. In regards to that I would tend to agree with Hiro more.

I always believed that families were more of an importance than a guild. For the most part, anyone can just join a guild, however, for a family it's different. You need to be friends with most, if not all, the members in the family and you tend to have a closer bond to them then you would have with a fellow guild mate. Families define people for what kind of person they are for the most point.
However, i'm getting off tracked. What guilds used to have that doesn't seem to exist anymore is competition. Constant PKing between guilds and constantly trying to see who has the dominate guild. You would be pretty hardpressed to find this in today's community. Most players have no loyalty to their guild and they tend to be a 'guild hopper'. Going from one guild to another. Overall, guilds need this competition back and then players would strive as an individual to show that their guild is the best.
