Few of my frinds and I moved over from another game and would like to start a guild. I haven't been able to find any options in the menus. Is there a guide for this?

Go here: http://ballisticmystix.net/?p=npc
Search for "guild clerk"
Select the one located in the land where you'd like to set up base =)

I don't know of any guide and it's been a while but I believe it'll cost you 1Mil to start the guild, and 10Mil for a guild hall. There may also be fame requirements, hopefully the NPC will tell you.

thank you!

One more question unrelated. Several of us are still in noobville and have a spawn point farther north then the starting city. However some are missing this spawn point and have been to this area but it's still not showing for them. How do you activate a new spawn point?

You should just have to walk to the spawn point area to 'learn' it. If they have already I'm not sure why it wouldn't work, maybe a factional thing?

It should appear on their maps when learnt.

The Kami of the Lake spawn point requires you to complete a mission before you can use it.

Tryker and Matis characters have the Karavan spawn point between the ruins and the lake. Fyros and (I assume) Zoraï characters have the Kami of the Lake spawn point.

A Matis or Tryker character can also get the Kami spawn point by doing a mission. I assume there is some equivalent mission for Fyros and Zoraï characters to get the Karavan one, but I can't say from personal experience.
