Guild recruitment post

[Ryland]

Well, I have finally created a guild recruitment post on EQ2 forums. I borrowed and modified Tundrra's recruitment post for Swtor. Hopefully this may bring some renewed interest. The link to the post is here

Looking good sir:)

A couple tips: In your forum signature link to the recruitment post, so anytime you post on the eq2 forums it will link to the recruitment post, easy free advertising:) Secondly, post on the offical forums, alot:p

Thanks for the tips. I will update my signature and begin my posting spreeeeee!!! It's not like I am not on the forums all of the time, just hadn't been posting much, just reading mostly.

Next time I take a BL position, I don't care if Tundrra is running 5 branches, he's going to be my recruitment officer.

Just one of the many things I think is important when growing a branch, Tips and Tricks of running a Branch

Recruitment Post,
Finding new players has to be a top priority, when a new game comes out we have a good month or two of existing NOR filling the ranks trying out the next big thing, then they slowly start to go back to their old branch or to the next branch. So from day one we need to bring new folks in and the best way for recruits to find us is the offical game forums.

Players that are serious and know the importantance of a guild will do their research and find out about a guild. Sometimes we get lucky and meet a good player in a PuG group and they will take our word on how awesome we are but A majority of your veteran players will go to the server forum boards and either research or plead their case.

Watching the recruitment server forums,
As I mentioned before veteran players use the game forums, we have to have a daily presence looking for quality recruitment posts. Players will state they are looking for XYZ in a guild and we should be replying to those posts with ways we meet those expectations.

Be picky when replying to these posts, there will be tons of them that are players who will not meet our family friendly standards or are looking for something other then what we can offer, we don't want to spam every post. However those that we do approach and answer their guild request normally become great members.
