Making a Guild Guide!!!

[Salfiti]

Alright well I just wanted to make a guide on how to make a successful guild so that I can help people, because I use to be an experience guild leader, tell I had to leave for another guild. And btw if someone already made a thread like this, please send me the link and I will discard this thread =)

Ok so firstly it all depends on what kind of guild you want to make, a Serious PVP guild, a Raiding guild, a PVP guild, or just some random FUN guild. I would say this guide is more into the random FUN guild aspect from the types of guilds I just listed.

1) Guild Names

This is one of the most important things on how to make a good guild! Usually.. if your making some random fun guild the guild names are funny, but they don't have to be, my opinion I would choose a funny guild name.

Heres a list of some guild names that I got off a website called Sherdog Link: Best of Wow Guild names. - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums

I would recommend picking a guild name out of this list, if you dont really like them then try to come up with a funny guild name (reason being if you make a serious guild name like "Irontree" or "Cadia" (some guild names i took off my old server lightinghoof) people will think your a level 80 hardcore serious guild, so they won't bother asking if they can join.

2) Ventrilo server

Now... I know some people have an issue with ventrilo servers because you have to pay to rent the servers, but MANY people are picky about if your guild as a VENT server! If you don't feel like renting a vent server, try looking on google for free vent servers that people share, or an other option is just to use the In-Game voice chat (which is decent), just make a channel for your guild and place a password so no random people can join the channel and talk.


3) Activities

Ok!!! This is probally one of the most important things for a guild, other than the guild name :P is KEEPING YOUR GUILD ACTIVE!!!! IT is important that your guild is active, and you host contests or some activitiy where people would ACTUALLY partcipate in.. not some old boring activity.

Some things to do are:

Guild Lottery
Contests
A level one raid (example make a bunch of level ones and go raid that level 10 Elite in Elywnn forest called Hog or something.. forgot his name)
Guild Dungeon Runs
Go gank some Alliance/Horde in STV
Premade PVP GROUP

Whatever you can think of !!! DO IT because if your guild is boring and nobody talks on the guild channel, everybody is going to eventually leave ...

Even guild meetings or gatherings are helpful! Also make sure to use the In-Game WoW Calandar (replaced the Sun or Moon on the minimap) to record these special days

[COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"]4) Tips:

Always recruit members over level 20+ so that you dont get some trial accounts in your guild
Never keep the guild chat empty !!!
Do not keep on doing the same activities.. because eventually they will get boring
Offer people promotions once in a while to keep them interested (Tell them if you recruit members or donate to guild bank, or guild Tab I will promote you)
Also make sure that your guild has a guild bank, a NICE looking Tabard, Some type of teamspeak channel, guild bank, and GUILD TABS!!!

Thanks And good luck[/COLOR]

Horrible. filler

[[Blackstorm]]

@Seraphant.. WOW, please give him a break! Its his first guide, be nice! Even tho u jus came out of leecher doesnt mean ur cooler than him

@Salfiti.. nice guide i liked My Little Pwnies hahaha +rep


EDIT: also, dont ask for rep (remove it from ur post)

[Salfiti]

Horrible. filler

I dont know whats your problem.. you dont like it then dont post. And lets see you make guides.. if you even did

[Seraphant]

My problem is you've made an awful guide, quoted the Oldest unfunny guild names in creation, and repeatedly asked for rep. This is worse than guides on beating Frogger boss, "grind boars for gold," and repost of a repost of a repost.

I really couldn't care less about my rep, but I've only gotten out of leecher because I can make potentially useful posts.

Holy shit.

If you could show me a link proving that I reposted this.. then come talk to me otherwise i really couldnt care less about what your saying, because your just an ignorant fool that likes to pick on others. Btw i just joined an hour ago and I have 3 rep.. so im pretty sure this post and other posts are pretty useful.

[Seraphant]

And you're illiterate too, there's a surprise.

[larzzon]

Seraphant, How can you say the guide was "Horrible. filler"


Its a great guide for new people that wanna create a fun working guild.
The guild names are realy great. Was some i did not like, but many ( ! ) More i liked

+ Rep man! good job!

[Seraphant]

Because it's horrible and I needed a few more letters as filler to post. Supporting this kind of garbage is is like giving money to the scrubs that sit in town, whispering everyone for gold.

[fabled16]

omg raid hogger =} good times lol

[Century]

you can't get trial accounts in guilds. i'd say this is a potential repost not lookin up though.

[{CoReY}]

Look it up if you think it's a repost, have proof before you say anything, this guy is trying to contribute, and Seraphant, not once did i see him say "+ REP ME IF YOU FOUND DIS HELPFUL." I'm sure you wouldn't want him saying your first guide sucks. He is trying to contribute and he did a decent job at it. +rep for trying.

[DustyGoblin]

Other than the long list of guild names not too bad.

[Seraphant]

Asked once at the beginning and once at the end, but has edited them out after my post.

From now on, I should "try" to make guides.

Thats code for make shitty, useless guides.

Worthless ...
