On another topic, I found it funny I saw this on the Minerealm server forums:

It's apparently not exclusive to having too many mods - I've got a completely vanilla client and crashed with this same error numerous times in a short period yesterday. It had never happened before, and hasn't happened since.

There are too many people in your guild to be displayed on one string of text.

^Pretty sure this is true.

On another note, trading RC in exchange for RL services such as fixing a problem with your minecraft, computer, etc , is, or atleast should be considered RWT, as you're trading a currency on the server in exchange for a service IRL, i know its pretty stupid, but currently there hasn't 'been specific rules set on RWT... so i'm guessing anything RWT related is illegal.

Just thought I'd point that out, as this is a perfect example of why some forms of RWT should be legal.

It's a java error in the code. Someone set the max value to 119 characters, however a method is attempting to apply a value of 171 characters (the sum of all the characters (letters) in the names of the people in your guild. The result you're seeing is a thrown exception, which is just a fancy way of saying something went wrong, and this is the run-time's best attempt at telling you about it.

The code needs a patch, sorry. No other way to fix it except to drop people from your guild.

There needs to be another case in the switch block (I'm assuming) accounting for values higher than 119. There's nothing intrinsic to java limiting strings to 119 characters, in fact they can be up to around 2 billion. It's just how the code was written.

No one but yourself has ever stated that RWT is illegal.
May I reference you to http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8320, which clearly states "Exchange of Credits for Real-Life Currency".

Error on my part then, misread, just assumed that RWT would be completely illegal, instead of just being semi-illegal, just seems alot more abusable this way. Considering by the looks of it... If someone were to for example, exchange RC for Steam games, gift cards, and virtually anything else money could buy, as long as the seller/buyer isn't receiving, or sending "IRL currencys", it'd be legal.

Mind you the average person won't go through the trouble of doing the above, and it'll also stop "gold farming", just don't see why its not either 100% illegal, or 100% legal, instead of 50/50.
