Global guilds are nice, because in the old days it was easy to expand your guild to other servers/move your guild/etc. If there was a local guild system, you would need to spend more to make your same guild on another server (which it might even be taken by some other players) and if it was available you would have to add the players all over again. I believe an in-game guild client would work better than the online version and better than a local system. Just me.
