(not enough space in the title to finish sentence)
From the announcement : A party containing mulitple Guild members gain bonuses, depending on the number of players in the same Guild:
2 Guild Members: +50 STR/INT, +100 DEF, +1 Critical, +10 LUK
3 Guild Members: +60 STR/INT, +150 DEF, +1 Critical, +10 LUK
4 Guild Members: +70 STR/INT, +200 DEF, +1 Critical, +10 LUK
5 Guild Members: +80 STR/INT, +250 DEF, +2 Critical, +10 LUK
6+ Guild Members: +90 STR/INT, +300 DEF, +2 Critical, +10 LUK
The stat bonuses are only available to the guild members in the same party, NOT the entire party. There is an unlisted 100% AP and EXP bonus (can't remember, not sure about the EXP bonus) from having at least 2 guild members in the same party, and this bonus applies to everyone in the party.
E.G. Lets say you have a 6 member raid party, only 2 of which are in the same guild. The entire party will get a 100% AP/EXP bonus, but only the two players in the same guild will get the +50 STR/INT, +100 DEF, +1 Critical, +10 LUK bonus.
Would be great if Saygo or someone else could confirm whether this is a bug or working as intended.

I talked to the team. This is intentional. Only players of the same guild will receive the additional stats. We will look at the original post and see if any changes need to be made for clarity.
The stat buffs only apply to guild members within the same party.
All party members, when they have two or more guild members within that party, will receive bonus EXP and AP.
- Only Guild members will benefit from the stat buffs
- If at least two people from the same guild are in your party when you depart, you will all benefit from double AP and EXP.
EX: Sumi and Saygo are in the same Guild. Eghess is not in our guild. We are all in a party and depart. Sumi and Saygo will get stat buffs. Sumi, Saygo, and Ehgess will benefit from double AP and EXP.
wowee. you guys are much more helpful and in depth than the dudes over at Maplestory
