Guild Growing Pains

Things have changed. The days of being able to recruit freely in tier 1 are gone. Is it a good thing, or bad?

The default guild Forces of Order, and free trial accounts has made it very hard to recruit in tier 1. How do you convince someone to leave that guild, and join yours? How do you know you are recruiting a real subscriber, or a potential subscriber and not just someone who plans on playing the free trial for life?

Tier 1 is still pretty hopping, but Tier 2 is dead. How can you convince players to stick with the game when every rank 12 is filling chat with negativity from no scenario pops, no orvr, and so on?

I am going to keep pushing, and pushing. I am going to spam my warbands, and my 50 man vent till my fingers bleed. I know it can work, but it looks like it is going to be alot harder than it used to be.

I am still looking for more dedicated players who are willing to help me get this guild going. If it sounds like a challenge you may be interested in let me know.
