Advice on forming a guild

[Obysuca]

I know recruitment is hard especially without an FC house...

>_> Just to tell you from experience, it's still hard with a house and airship lol Most people look for big fcs to join and when they see you only have ~5 people on, they tend to shy away from it :/ I made my first fc back during 2.0 release and it was incredibly easy to get people. One shout and I'd bring in 3-5 people lol Though, like most fcs, half left by 2.1, eventually dropped down to under 10 by 2.3. Lots of drama happened, fc broke up, remade one without those people who caused said drama near the end of 2.3 and have been trying to recruit since. We've gotten a few here and there but they're either people on alts or new people who end up quitting before their trial month is up, so we're stuck with about 4 active members.

Wise words? Sure, you can help people as often as you can, but given how this generation of gamers are anti-social and play mmos like single player games, they'll have no problem taking your help, then up and leaving at any given point.

Expect to get a bunch of members who will never talk, then leave because "no one was talking", even though you and a few others were, but that person wasn't lol I can't tell you how many of those I've gotten. You'll also run into a few who will try to take all your stuff from the chest, so make sure you have it locked to the lowest rank. You'll also end up with those people who join, talk a bit, leave the next day or within a few hours. Don't forget those people who join and expect you to jump at them with tons of events, getting them into endgame and everything the second they join and if you don't (because you're still trying to recruit more so you don't have to pug), they'll leave shortly after joining.
