What Stefan suggested is actually easier and more efficient in terms of editing variables(/guilds in this case)..
It's more organized and easier to back up if it's in a DB NPC.

Plus, any idiot can make a script that says serverr.guilds = { "PIELOL" }; and erase everything.

This would add atleast some protection (for example, you could use callstack, and have everything in a TStaticVar() which saves constantly backups).

Just my opinion; and like I said, I was told that too many serverr vars can lag the server, like I said it may be false.

I would think this to be more organized anyway, but I guess personal preference anyway.

Also, you wouldn't really need to access this on clientside, as player.guild has to be set serverside (and, more secure).
