Guilds were associations of craftsmen or merchants. They were established primarily to protect the interests of their members. As they protected members from competition, they also protected the customers from poor quality work by people who were not skilled, established standards for members and the work they produced, and provided a united approach to economic policies and politics.
The earliest medieval guilds may actually have been established during the time of the ancient Roman Empire. Guilds also developed in other places, and Anglo-Saxon guilds probably arose from a separate tradition. As the Middle Ages went on, more guilds were established, and they became more involved in politics. There were a number of towns and cities run by guilds, especially in Italy and parts of Germany. The political power of guilds probably increased the attractiveness of starting new guilds. Combinations of guilds, such as the Hanseatic League, eventually had a great deal of strength, with military and diplomatic power independent of any country.
The earliest universities in Western Europe appear to have been established as guilds of educators.
Guilds of merchants and craft workers were formed in medieval Europe so that their members could benefit from mutual aid, production standards could be maintained, competition was reduced and, by acting collectively, a certain political influence could be achieved
an association of artisans or merchants who oversee the practice of their craft in a particular town. The earliest types of guild were formed as confraternities of tradesmen. They were organized in a manner something between a professional association, trade union, a cartel, and a secret society. They gave a voice to people in an era dominated by rulers and aristocracies.
Guilds are business groups and they were important because they created a new middle class in medieval europe

The modern descendant of guilds you are asking about is probably the trade union. There are other modern institutions that are descendants of the medieval guilds. One important guild function was standards regulation, which were taken up by government bureaus and agencies. Chambers of Commerce also have functions that are based on medieval guild operations to some degree. Medical associations, such as the AMA, can be said to be based on ideas founded by guilds.
Nearly every craft or trade that required any skill had a guild. There were stonemasons' guilds, silk workers' guilds, carpenters' guilds, jewelers' guilds, merchant guilds of all sorts, and many others. There is a link below to an article on medieval guilds.
No. Neither was really "rich". Guilds didn't determine wealth in an area. Guilds were unions of people with like jobs.
Yes. Thats the Short Answer. There are still Guilds that exist in countries like England, Australia, and certain places in Italy, and germany as well if I'm not mistaken, they have change DRAMATICALLY since the middle ages (as I am led to believe), but are still guilds, and were formed in the middle ages as guilds.

The ancient Romans had a guild for just about everything, from funeral guilds to musician's guilds. Any occupation could have a guild or union as we would call them today. The guilds set guidelines for wages and some of them were politically important.

Guilds are a group of players in-game to do raids/pvp/battlegrounds or to just help each other level. Some just want people to talk to when they are out in the world of Azeroth.
Among the oldest guilds were those for stone masons and glass makers. But there were guilds of all sorts, and in guild oriented cities, many or most jobs were involved in the guild structure. There were carpenters' guilds and bakers' guilds and cobblers' guilds. There were even guilds that were entirely female, such as the silk guilds of Paris and Cologne. In time, there were also merchant guilds, in addition to craft guilds. Please use the link below for more information.
