i saw a post maybe a month ago about the same exact situation.. as much as you and i think tynon should do something about it.. i also understand that it's part of the game and they shouldn't have to do anything. i can see it begin to happen more & more as everyone leaves old servers to start on newer ones or just abandon the game.

a possible solution could be to add a weekly polling system in each individual guild, each member can vote once a week for the host & the host can elect 2 vh's. this way if you have host/vh become inactive, all you have to do is wait till the end of the week and a well structured guild would probably keep the vote for the same host each week so it would be a win-win for everyone.
