Hi there! I run a newly founded guild (50 members). Most of them were recruited in starter maps as I wanted to make a guild where we can help new players as well as build a community. Overall I’ve found this approach to be positive for both the guild and the people being recruited. But then I hit a snag.
Tonight, my guild and I did an easy guild mission (1 target bounty, requiring only 5 players). All went well until we finished and wanted to do the medium difficulty mission. It was a challenge that required about 10 people. Now my guild, despite having 50 members, only has 6 members at level 80 (due to my method of recruiting and helping new players).
This made me realize that I will need to expand my recruiting horizons. Doing only the easy mission every week will make us take forever to reach access to a bank or eventually a Guild Hall. So logic dictates that I should recruit people of a higher level along with the lower levels. Here is where my question comes in.
How do I get get people of a higher level to join a guild this size? Most larger guild must have started somewhere and at some point they must have had to recruit new members at a higher level despite not having a huge guild yet. What methods or ideas do you implement or did you implement to recruit higher level players?
I am very dedicated to my guild (I already bought us a TS3 server and I’m working on a website/forum as well) despite it being so new. I want the best for my guild and making my guildies wait months to get basic things like a bank or Hall is not fair at all. Any and all help on this subject would be immensely appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Rayne
