Comments on: How Do I Find A Good WoW Guild? http://www.askapadwe.com/22/how-do-i-find-a-good-wow-guild/ WoW Help Site | World of Warcraft Help Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:09:39 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: dumac http://www.askapadwe.com/22/how-do-i-find-a-good-wow-guild/comment-page-1/#comment-25271 dumac Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:26:41 +0000 http://www.askapadwe.com/22/how-do-i-find-a-good-wow-guild/#comment-25271 there is three key aspects in a guild: 1. social 2. power base 2. direction 1. Social means the level people interact with each other, for example some guild likes to talk alot in guild chat, some do not like to speak very much. Doesn't mean any is bad, but it means both attracts different kinds of players. For higher end it is usually better if the guild has a fairly active conversation level, otherwise you will know that must people just are there for raids most likely. These kind of guild has a tendence to break easily during a rough spot, bcs if raids is not working people do not see a point staying to make it better, so they leave. Happend often for me in guilds. 2. Power base means that kind of power officer and guildmaster holds, this can vary to a large degree from being really open to members to being shut in alot. Sometimes not even officers has power, but guildmaster controls everything. This may not be a bad thing, but it is warning clock. One person power rarely works well bcs that person cannot be on alot of time then guild members are(there will be gaps then no person in charge are online). Also the pressure on all decision aspect may be pressing. one person in charge works well with smaller guilds, but has a tendence to get to overworked then the guild gets bigger. A sign of a guild gets is a guild there the officers ar online so they can monitor and that they interact with people to some degree. If they do not interact with members it is easily for them to make decision they have no clue how it will affect the members. Also an officers needs to make hard decision sometimes. Ranking is one of the basic power tool, usually thne you join a guild you are a "recruit". So you are the newbie, make a good impression and the guild member will open up to u. If you make a bad impression u will most likely be kicked, so talk with officers if you are unsure so they can help you. 3. there is a variety of specialisation a guild can focus on but the most common are: PvE, PvP, RP and leveling. Then there is also difficulties they are devoted at Hardcore, Semihardcore and casual. The question of that kind of guild you should choice lies with you, not the guild. So before you join a guild ask yourself that you are interested in. Try some different aspects before you decide to join the guild permantly. For example you should try between pvp and pve a little before you decide. Role play if you like lore and acting out character in games. You should search for people who likes the same interest as you, otherwise you will most likely be disappointed to interact with the people in guild. This doesn't always have to be the case, but it is a most likely scenario. A final word: Choicing guild is hard, but it is worth the effort and only you can decide that you want to do in World of Warcraft in the end. there is three key aspects in a guild:

1. social
2. power base
2. direction

If you join a guild... stay in it for a week or so... see how the members are like... see if they talk...make jokes...help each other out... then if you still feel like the guilds not your type... tell an officer or the guild leader.... why you are leaving... and say sorry... thats all i have to say... oh and =P If you are in daggerspine alliances... try out my guild for a week... i wont get mad if yu leave... but just give it a shot... give every guild a shot... its not fair to judge a guild by how the adverts are presented... i swear there was a saying... erm... oh yh Dont judge a book by its cover... Anyway... if yu would like to join my guild and try it out Name of guild: Knight of Honour Grand Prophet [Guild Master]: Celurod Hey =)
I also think i would disagree about guilds being advertised in a major capitals general chat are a bad idea… however i think it depends more on the guilds members and how you feel…
i believe that the guild i made… was to make a large group who could help each other out with quests and dungeons, and thats exactly whats been going on my guild for the last month…i have around 10-25 members, but only 1 level 70. that one level 70 [not me] helps everyone out… he has no reason to… he knows nobody… yet he still helps everyone out… we had a couple of level 70s last week and they all left…not that i blame them… our guild is quiet at times… but the point im trying to make… guilds are for people to get to know each other. If you join a guild… stay in it for a week or so… see how the members are like… see if they talk…make jokes…help each other out…

then if you still feel like the guilds not your type… tell an officer or the guild leader…. why you are leaving… and say sorry…

thats all i have to say…

oh and =P If you are in daggerspine alliances… try out my guild for a week… i wont get mad if yu leave… but just give it a shot… give every guild a shot… its not fair to judge a guild by how the adverts are presented…
i swear there was a saying… erm… oh yh
Dont judge a book by its cover…

Anyway… if yu would like to join my guild and try it out

I advertised on trade in the beginning just to get membership up a bit but dont advertise at all in the game now. I was sick of all the bickering and bad management in the guild i was in previously, who were a very large raiding guild, there was very little frienship in the guild apart from the small group of people who were selected to join the officers in kara raids. so i run my guild very differently, i very rarely make decisions myself, all responsibilities are shared with people who enjoy that part of the game. the main thing i wanted to do was create a friendly community where we could enjoy our game and progress together. i think this is one of the best features of wow when successful.

Which fits me perfectly. Why? Because I'm level 31. Because most people in my guild are around 24-37 & we can go & do things together at the same level. Because when my lower level guild finally reaches the 70 level, we will have done it together & will have the experience of grouping the whole way. I wouldn't trade my "inexperienced guild" in for one with a bunch of level 70s anyday. I just don't see how that could help me. The one thing to remember about guilds is that if you get in one & look at the posted info and don't like what you see - YOU CAN LEAVE. Find a new one. Try for a few days, and then take off if you don't get along with the others. Eventually you will find one that fits your playing needs & wants. Don't settle until then.
