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.
first guilds are jobs or a trade that a person specializes in. some examples are woodworkers, bakers, black smiths, brewers, and fish monger.
guilds are dum
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.
Depends entirely on what game you are talking about. There are thousands of games with guilds. Most guilds are just a way for a few like minded individuals to keep organized and in contact with one another. But unless the game has a complex raid system which requires guilds to be organized, there is very little real responsibility or even necessity for guilds in most games.
Regulate production or trade ;)
Like their counterparts in medieval European towns, the artisans were organized into guilds.
the oldest Guilds started in ancient Greece and Rome around 300 BC. They were started by the various craftsmen themselves. Later, guilds of students started in Bologna. In the 14th century craftsmen all over Europe organized themselves in Guilds.
Guilds organized trade in medieval cities and towns.
Trade Guilds, which codified management-labor responsibilities, and their modern equivalents, the Labor Unions.
Guilds were the equivalent to what unions were today without all of the labor rights incorporated as labor laws were much less prevalent in the medieval times. Guilds were organized groups of people of the same trade where skills were taught and shared. Some guilds even held informal/ prototypical small scale schools with workshops.

Universities were not called guilds, but they functioned very much as guilds did. The undergraduate education in the universities was very like the journeyman stage of becoming a guild member, and the post graduate work leading to the master's degree was very like the production of a master work for the guilds. The structure of the university was quite possibly modeled on crafts guilds. Some guilds even had a higher level of membership than master, which was analogous to a doctorate.
city and guilds because it is
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.
