Pocketblake's Guide to a Better Guild

.

Many people have asked me the following questions:
-How can I make my own guild?
-How can I increase my guild's population?
-How can I organize my current guild to become a better,
stonger community?

Well, Pocket has the answer to all of your guild organization needs.

How can I make my own guild?

Good question. Just simply go to a major city like Stormwind or
Thunder Bluff and talk to a guard. Ask the guard where the guild master
is located. Talk to the person and purchase the charter for 10 silver.
Be prepared to have at least nine people ready to sign your charter.
When that is complete, turn in the charter. Now you are a Guild Master.
Congratz!

Now that I have a guild, how can I increase its population.

Another excelent question. Open your macro window (/macro) and create a new
macro and label it "Guild Ad" and select an icon that can be easily distinguished.
Type in an ad that could tempt the people that you are targeting to join (like
PvPers, RP people, etc.) An example that would not instrest people would be:

"Join my guild, Spartan Forces. We are, like, great and stuff. Join now."

An example that may intrest more people would most likely be:

"Spartan Forces is now recruiting. We have over 300 members, a website,
4 Bank tabs, Ventrillo server, and family friendly chat. We're looking for
healers for ZA. Pst for more info or an invitation."

Try not to spam this macro in trade and general chat too much. Say it a few
times in Guild Recruitment, but no one really listens to that channel.

Now that I've got the right number of people in the guild, how can I improve
the guild as a whole?

Another fine question. All good raiding guilds must be cooperative and focused.
One thing that is VERY IMPORTANT is the fact that you should have things for
everyone to do every day. Ask your guild members what times work best for them
for raids. Listen to everyone and assign good officers to keep everyone
under control. It would be best if the guild master or an officer get a Teamspeak
or Ventrillo voice chat server. The Voice Chat that Blizzard provides could
use a little bit of work, but its fine for guilds that are just starting out.
Also, Omen Threat Meter, Group Calander, and some DKP addon is very important
for every member of a guild to have. Websites are nice to have and can benifit
many guild members who don't have the Group calander addon.

If you find any other information that I have not added, please post a comment below,
because I'm still not finished.
