How do you join guilds or clans in Anarchy Online?

I have heard that something like this exists in other games, so I need to know if this is the way with this one. How do you join guilds or clans in Anarchy Online?

Before you continue to think about this question of joining guilds or clans in Anarchy Online you have to ask yourself one question. That question would be if you are a group player or not. This is a very important question and the answer to this can lead you to the decision if you even want to be a part of any group. Some tasks and quests will ask you to join your forces with somebody else, but those tasks and quests are in a great minority in comparison to the large number of tasks or quests that you can complete on your own. If you still want to be a part of some group you will not need password, just desire and you are half way there.
