Guilds help, but most if not all guilds will help players without expecting them to join.
Just ask in region and/or universe and more often than not someone will offer to help you (maybe you need to wait a bit if they're busy) or telling you when there's a trek starting or coming your way (some guilds have regular treks, say once a week).
Ryzom is in a way unique (or nearly) in this in that most mmos don't allow players of different factions and/or races to mingle at all, except within the confines of specially designated killing zones for pvp battles, and of those that do offer such melting/merging many have ways to make travel easy (flying mounts, mage portals, etc.).
When the world is designed around those, they can work well. Atys however isn't so designed.
