There should be a say only for the "realistic" effect. Maybe some sort of messaging system (mail like they use to) for long distance, in which guilds could send mail to all members in advance of a meeting or crisis that is happening.

You don't necessarily need a global chat but no guild or whisper system would be a horrible design decision. They're extremely useful tools and there's a reason why pretty much every MMO I can think of since forever has used them.
And making design decisions based on a fear of 13 year old nightmare kids or "realistic" effect is pretty silly in a game where half the people will eventually set up macro systems to stand next to a wall and level up their skills or run around towns naked yelling about pwning noobs.
