I have some experience with raiding towns. Here are some observations:
1. Some npcs call guards when they see enemy players. You'll see the NPC yell in general chat, and guards will appear. The number of additional guards that spawn is equal to the number of players in the proximity. So if you raid with four people, expect guards to spawn four at a time. There seems to be some kind of a cap on the number of extra guards that spawn at a time.. maybe 4 or 5.
2. Some npcs call guards when attacked. The rest is same as above. Again, if four players raid a town and one of them attacks an npc, four guards will spawn.
3. Some npcs call guards when they see a player of their faction get attacked. This might be explained away by #1. Not really sure.
Note that guard npcs don't usually do the above.
So, when raiding a town you should proceed slowly and killing all npcs and guards on the way. Once npcs have been killed you can fight players without more guards spawning.
