Hello folks,

First of all i'm thinking about creating a guild/ i just have created one but thats not gonna be the topic here.

So as i was creating the Guild on the foundation and when i was thinking about it I came to conclusion that in fact i dont know how to do so effectively.

Over the years i was in a lot of guilds, i've seen many things, what you could do, what you should do and what you shouldnt do but thats only based on my own opinion and experience. I'm trying here to get a bigger, brighter picture on the topic with your help and ideas. Dont get me wrong, ideas on lore for my guild or what it should focus on is my task. The topic here should focus more on organisational /logistics level.

I thought that maybe there are some people here having experience with guilds as leader, officer or even member and that could give some tips and tricks or Feedback in terms of concepts that worked for their guilds and what didnt work, or simply some tips and tricks on how to start the whole task "Guild creation".

Some topics that interest me the most are like

• How do you keep people active and on track (till life version of game and after release to keep them at your guild on the long run)
• How do you develop your guild (planning activities or letting the people do their on things or any other ideas)
• Democracy or Authocracy ? (How far should you go, at some point decisions must be taken but you dont want to impose everything?)
• Communication platforms/ websites etc (what's most effective in your opinion, does it make sense to have separate forums / website or is discord enough )
• How do you "lead" effectively? What is the job exactly like? I mean everyone knows a guild leader leads the guild but what does this really mean?
• How active do you have to be yourself? (24h/24h or 1 a month..i know i'm exagerating here)
• Every other idea or Tips you can provide us with

I kinda hope that this thread becomes a topic not only for me but where everyone can state his experiences if he wants to or give feedback, ideas and that there will be a big exchange for everyone having questions on the subject.

Greetings Lythor

edit. I wasnt really sure on what forum to post this, hope here is ok.

With all the pledges at a lot of different games i made and that went wrong i should have become more mature till now ... well guess what didnt work after seing this title and being overly hyped ^^. The only thing i can hope for is that they stick to what they tell and dont go offroad as did Ashes and so many other games.

I dont know if "in the good old days" it was all better but i have the feeling that at the moment you cant trust anyone anymore and that everything is so monetised ... Making a game for the audience sake seems to not matter anymore... cash is everything... (dont get me wrong ofc its important but dont exagerate)
I know this feels like off topic now but look at blizz and how everything goes wrong. Be it ashes or other games it often comes to be the same with all of em, once they see that they can make money through early access they begin to rip you off...
I hope this game will be different it all sounds very promising, please dont let us down
