It has been a long time since you saw me, yes? Sadly I was so caught up with the tragedy known as the’Hustle And Bustle Of Real Life’ that there was NO time to blog. Now I have swept away the trixters from my computer, and here I am with a ncie guide for ya…(Note:The guide concentrates a lot of managing your guild AFTER creation, not creating your guild. Hope this will have use to you!)
THE GUILD GUIDE
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL AND MOST HIGHLY SECRET TOO…
Why a guild?
- You get to meet more people.
- You have people to back you up in case you get KSed
- You can do the guild quest together (although its a tad bit too difficult) it provides good exp, among other good stuff
PART 1
THE BURNING QUESTION
HOW DO I ENUSRE THAT MY GUILD DOES NOT BECOME ‘NOOB’ AND INACTIVE!?
First of all, have a criteria on the minimum level required to enter your guild. In my opinion, it should be at least 35+. Share this with your Jr masters, or even better still, post it in your guild notice column. Try to practice what you preach too, for if you invite DOZENS of level 20+ friends and make the lvl requirement 50+, do you think your jr masters and members would look up to you and follow your commands?
However, DO NOT SUDDENLY SKYROCKET THE LEVEL REQUIREMENT, for you will have to expel a vast amount of members, and the rest might be so put of that they might quit. If you really want to, increase it progressively. A good way to decide whether to increase is to calculate the average level of your guild (total level of members÷total number of members) If there is a distinct increase from the previous time, go ahead and increase the lvl requirement (and celebrate with your members!) otherwise, push them and yourselves to ‘chiong’ (level up more quickly)
IN A NUTSHELL
- Set a level requirement and stick to it!
- Do not skyrocket your requirement.
- Average level= total lvl of members ÷total no. of members
Part 2- members & jr masters- 2 letters
To the JR master:
Dear Jr,
You are second in command, a figure eveyone looks up to. Don’t you think that you should show even more respect to your leader, so your members will follow?
Every guild has this crisis: The jr invites his rather noob friends, promotes him to jr, and soon the guild is plagued with a LOAD of members who do not meet the lvl requirement. Respect your leader’s decisions, his lvl requirement!
Most importantly, be kind to both leader and member, helping them whenver neccasary, and make your guild proud of this caring and deserving jr master!
Your sincerely,
Flamerune-Guild master and mapler.
Dear member:
You have joined the guild. Whether it is facing ‘civil war’ or a golden age, I wish to talk to you about one thing: Loyalty.
Be loyal to your guild, and you will reap benefits. I’m very sure that every leader would appreciate and treasure a loyal member, who would most probably turn into his right hand man. On the other hand, a member who enters the guild and quits the next day would probably hurt the leader and might cuase the other members to be more tempted to quit as well. (Really true in pq!)
In other words, treasure loyalty!
