Question about guild levels

[rosela]

<p>OK, so I was wondering how much more status we would need to reach GL 60 and decided to look at what other GL 59-60 guilds had on the EQ2 Players site. Imagine my surprise when I find out that at GL 56, we have over  one milion MORE status points than many of the GL 60 guilds that I saw, some of which were of similar size.</p><p>So, does anyone know what goes into determining guild level since it is apparently not just the total amount of status...</p>
