Every Monday, Scott Andrews contributes [hide]Officers’ Quarters[/hide], a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. He is the author of [hide]The Guild Leader’s Handbook[/hide], available now from [hide]No Starch Press[/hide].
With all the emphasis this summer on [hide]complaints[/hide], [hide]prima donna raiders[/hide], [hide]AWOL guild leaders[/hide], and [hide]rebuilding[/hide], this week seemed like a good time to focus on an email from a guild that’s flourishing. Success, alas, comes with its own set of problems, but at least many of those are good problems to have. For example, when your guild is the rising star on a server, it seems like everyone wants to get in on the action. One guild leader wants to know: How do you turn down players politely when you don’t want to invite them to your rapidly expanding roster?
Hello,
I hear a lot about small guilds falling apart in the new guild system that was implemented in Cataclysm, but my guild is having the opposite problem.
In classic, I started a guild for myself and several real life friends. It was just our five man team for a very long time, no recruiting. We were very active in our realm community, so we had a lot of in game friends outside the guild and eventually some of these people began asking to join. We were glad to have them and so we grew slowly. But in Cataclysm our roster exploded. Every time an efriend’s guild would die because too many quit or jumped to a mega guild, they would ask to join ours. The problem is that many of those people wanted to bring their friends too, so with every person that asked to join we would have one or two of their friends also asking. We grew so fast it all caught us unaware.[hide]Continue reading Officers’ Quarters: Thanks, but no thanks[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Officers’ Quarters (Guild Leadership)[/hide][hide]Officers’ Quarters: Thanks, but no thanks[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:00:00 EST.
