There is one guild that always just stands there and watches the portal. There's occasionally a few people that come in and say hi, but most of the time the most excitement that you'll see is when you get bored and you leave guild and try to kill your own guild.
Bamboo did it for years, now FP is doing it.
Retro WoE is there for free WoE points, free chests, and an hour of time that you can screw around on your non-trans characters. It's never been seriously competitive, and when it does get competitive, it's only for a few months, and then it's back to sitting in a room chatting with people, knowing that nothing bad will happen. If you want free chests and free guild dungeon access become THE non-trans guild, and it's yours.
If you think normal WoE is a snooze fest, go play in retro for a few weeks. You'll use up more pots (because there isn't as high and fast as spike damage so you have more time to pot) see the same 10 people, and for the first 45-50 minutes it'll be fun and games, and then for the last 10 the single guild that is always in control will sit down in the emp room and say no to whoever tries to come in the door.
So- for your suggestion on making only one castle- THAT is what happens when there is only one castle. One guild stays in control, nothing happens, and no one is involved in WoE.
As a referal back to an old idea: here's my view. Retro WoE- one castle, one guild in charge of it. Normal WoE- 3 castles and just about 3 guilds (possibly 4) that play in it. If you want more WoE active guilds and more people involved with WoE, open up all of the castles. Open season on castles means more people trying for them. Assuming that we open up all of the castles, and assuming that tradition stays the same- we'd suddenly have 20, or more, active WoE guilds.
