If you switch to local guilds and cap it at 3, for example, you might promote guild activity on the server, but global guilds outside the server will be hesitant to come here since they can't represent their guild.

I know that I was hesitant to join any local main guilds on Era (not that they tried to recruit me,) because I didn't really care about them. I was far happier in the local party guilds I was in with friends.

The point is, when you force people to join guilds they don't care about, you might not bring in many people from other servers. If you keep it global and add content, they might be inspired to come and stake their guild claim on classic.
