Guild Mythology and Digital Tribal Consciousness
An anthropological study of how online gaming guilds and communities develop their own mythological narratives, rituals, and belief systems. This artifact examines the formation of digital tribes through shared virtual experiences, investigating how online communities create origin stories, establish hierarchies, and develop collective identities. Through participant observation, community analysis, and oral history collection, it explores how digital gaming environments facilitate the emergence of new forms of tribal mythology and social organization.
