Building a house for your guide is a REQUIREMENT for other NPCs to appear. If you are going to live far away from spawn point (like near a dungeon), and build your house there, guide will not be able to move in, preventing other NPCs from appearing. Also when living together with him, he often open doors without closing them, allowing zombies and goblins to enter your house. Build a small separate house for him near spawn point, and you wont get such trouble.
