How to bring a dead guild back to life?
Place your guild spirit in your heart then find another guild….there is no way to bring a dead guild back to life among thousand of guilds in gw2 if you try to inv ppl in clearly they just stand down the whole time cuz nothing to catch their interested > back to the grave again.
Ya, I would join an active guild, creating one from scratch is not easy, you will get no support from anet on building guild cohesion. So unless you are a really charismatic leader and are willing to give up your life to bringing other people together…
Not to mention This game is designed to cater to large guilds, unless you like just playing with a small group of friends, which some do.
Yeah, unless the ones that still play are willing to back you up with recruitment or setting up fun things to do, a dead guild is hard to resurrect. There are so many guilds out there competing for players. The first thing you would need to do is kick all the non players. Imo It makes a much better impression to a new recruit to come to a guild that has a few active players than a guild with a large dead list.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.
ANet may give it to you.
Bringing back the dead always comes with a price. A Life for a life. You shall lose yours if you continue on this path.
Careful what you wish for!
Bringing a guild back from the dead is just as hard as creating a new one.
But if you’re willing to go on this difficult journey here is what you have to do, including, but not limited to:
- Be the Guild leader;
- If possible recruit some trusted friends to be your Officers and help with the PR.
- Purge your current guild of the inactive players (1 month + offline);
- Have a nice website setup for people to apply (enjin.com works well);
- Explain the goal of your guild and requirements;
- Advertise on forum and in game;
- Spam in main towns and help potentials;
- Do activities to recruit people;
- Lead Guild Missions to entice people to stay and other activities (lottery, dungeons, WvW raids, pvp tournaments, map exploration, boss fights, training sessions, etc…);
- Lot of PR and dedication everyday.
Good luck.

I’m reviving my own dead guild and I am doing what the post above me says right from the get go.
It would cost me more to start form scratch than use my current guild that has been nothing more but a free storage box for a year and a half.

And when you do start getting recruits, make an effort to play with them and be sure to keep guild chat as active as possible.
If someone says hello or asks a question in guild chat, make sure they get a response. Nothing will frustrate a new member more than if they feel nobody is paying attention to them or even cares they are a member.
I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

^ This pretty much sums up the work that is needed. From all this, you might as well create your own guild from scratch. Since the work needed is almost negligible. You need to be dedicated to the thing. The amount of hardwork is underestimated. I wrote up a post awhile a go, to help people that were creating a new / start-up guild.
