Road to creating my own FC. (What's your success story?)

[Oksana]

Thank you very much for your reply, I truly appreciate it.

The FC I am picturing is not one that has 200+ members. I've been apart of A LOT of FC's (Large and small) and always feel like I am not fitting in, despite my best efforts. Hence why I would like to start my own FC.

On the FC that I watched fail, I took mental notes on what not to do and what should be done in order to keep members. But I find myself hesitant to start because when me and my friends built our FC from scratch, a lot of our members left due to feeling there was no light at the end of the tunnel, even though our prime objective was to obtain a house. But once we were able to achieve that goal, majority of them came back. (we were an RP base guild)

I guess one of my fears is not succeeding if I don't have that house to provide for members. What is your input on that?

PS: I have a 1,000 word cap, so my replies have to be short. :<
