I don't know why we don't get notifications for guilds though, but I know that I would've replied sooner if there were notifications... That stinks however. I don't know.
Dude it's sad when a guild dies...I went back to my very first one and it looks like most people let it die in 2010 or 2012...Because I left Gaia to take a break in 2012....!^! the things you miss when you are gone..... TT^TT
