First off, I would suggest not using "normal" to describe the unaligned guilds. The word has connotations that would imply judgemental aspects to its use.
Secondly, since the "guild" is the formative unit of at least two of the National Governments (definitely for Tryker and inplicitly for Matis), there needs to be some guild incentive to align.
I would rather see "free associations" be allowed in the gameplay with no restrictions on membership but also with disadvantages. (Not sure what they would be yet.) Ryzom is based on the idea that every choice has a cost.

Phaedreas Tears - 15 years old and first(*) of true neutral guilds in Atys.
(*) This statement is contested, but we are certainly the longest lasting.
