Morphology

guildhall = guild + hall (transparent) = guild + hall

Used metaphorically in gaming but still directly denotes a meeting place for a guild, so its composition remains transparent.

Etymology

In online games, guildhall keeps the old idea: it joins guild, a 'group of players', and hall, a 'meeting place', so it means the group's virtual headquarters inside the game's world.
