I voted for Hiatus (not playing), but I'm not playing nor do I intend to play Therak for the forseeable future.
I saw the Sixty Thieves back on DB go through the same thoughts, though it was behind closed doors among the officers. They decided to just hand the guild over to someone they knew would be making changes they didn't want, since none of them would be active anymore. Having spoken to them much later, they do regret not disbanding the guild, and many of the "old guard" members from that time feel the same.
However, I also know that many people enjoyed the "new" version a lot as well, and the guild did continue to exist for years.
My thoughts in the end comes down to that it's better to let the guild go on hiatus and possibly die, as it is. Rather then possibly years from now almost being ashamed that we didn't do it that way, and the guild ends up unrecognizable and still barely active with long bouts of inactivity.
It's to me, the better of two bad choices and no good ones around. It's a shame to see the guild go down, but the orc way is Victory or Death... and I don't see Victory in the future here... People have just changed to much, gotten older, less time. Less enthusiasm for putting in a lot of work that still doesn't change things.
