  • Running a Guild Guide by Nae

    This article I wrote almost one year ago, but the information is still relevant. At the time I was the owner of Free Stuff 4 The Poor Guild, the largest Soup Kitchen guild there was but then it vanished overnight. Hopefully this article will help those guild master wannabes out there!

    The Guild Headquarters is an exciting and busy area to work in! I, myself, run a large guild located in the Soup Kitchen. We are at the top of the list, and receive many extra members each day. There is always the hustling and bustling of members chatting and helping each other, and the scamper of council members doing their daily guild routines.

    Just because our guild now runs very smoothly, with only a few ripples every now and then, doesn’t mean it always has been. We haven’t always been this successful and we haven’t always been this busy. We’ve started off like all guilds, with one member. A question I am constantly asked is “How did you get your guild so big?”. I hope I could perhaps answer that question for you here, and give you an idea of how to make your guild bigger and better.

    My number one rule is be true to what you offer. If you offer a free item for joining, actually GIVE that item to the people who join. You will not gain any more members by lying to them. You will only gain a bad reputation and you won’t feel too hot about cheating, will you?
