If your members are not active or loyal, you will notice that many of them especially new recruits decide to leave in a day or two. This problem can be easily solved through the following steps.
1. Planned Events: Planned events increase activity by planning events on a certain day. This will make sure that a majority of the members are online at that event. This will also "bond" your guild. PvP Events: Planning PvP events will cause your guild to make certain members master a profession or build. The success rate of the PvP will have effects on your guild member loyalty. Winning games will increase loyalty and moral. Losing games will do the exact opposite.* Farming Events: Farming events will also make members master professions. Select only a couple farming locations such as Urgoz or FoW. Having a limited amount of farming will make your farms successful and promote members with certain professions. PvE Missions: Doing PvP Missions in a certain campaign in Hard Mode will boost the morale of your members. They will be much more loyal due to the fact that you are contributing to their titles. 2.Spontaneous Events: These can happen at any time between the major events. These will also boost loyalty and activity of members. Here are some great examples: Dungeon Runs: If you can run a dungeon such as CoF, you may organize a dungeon run with your guildmates. PvP: Team Arenas or any other team PvP can be organized in a small amount of time. 3.Rewards and Prizes: Rewards and prizes can be given to members that show the most effort, this will promote member activity and cause them to be much more loyal. Do NOT overuse this method. Lottery: With a bigger guild(around 30-40 members) you may organize a lottery. This will be explained in later Guild Leader Weekly posts. If you can start and maintain activity throughout your guild, new members will more likely stay and the guild will grow at a faster rate. You can always make events alliance-wide making the alliance active too and this in turn will help you build and progress your guild. You can also increase activity by getting a Ventrilo or Teamspeak 2 server. |

There are tons of different voice over IP programs, some of the most popular ones include Ventrilo and Teamspeak 2. Here is some information that may help you decide which one you'd like to use:
Prices:
As you can see the average Teamspeak 2 slot price is much lower than Ventrilo. Teamspeak 2 10-Slot servers prices can go as low as $2.60 per month and Ventrilo 10-Slot servers prices can go as low as $2.69 per month. You just have to register for X-Fire VoIP, but there are a lot of limitations that make it not as useful as Teamspeak 2 or Ventrilo. They can also be extremely expensive per month. You should do some browsing and find the most suitable price that will help you get that VoIP server for your guild. |

Managing a guild takes a lot of work so this weekly article will help you build an active and loyal guild. This article will provide you information on how to maintain your guild's activity, manage events, and have a great alliance.
Building the Base For this step you will need:
Once complete, you should confront the Guild Emblemer where you will decide upon your cape. The cape should be fashionable, make sure your cape does not look horrible else people may leave because they do not like the cape however you can always change your cape for another 2K. Now you will have to create the Guild Hall which is notably expensive. Now you will have to go to a Canthan Ambassador and ask him to show you Guild Halls. There are 16 different guild halls. You should choose the one the you like best or the one that will be suitable for your Guild Style. Once your are at your chosen hall, buy your celestial sigil from the Sigil Trader. Once done return to the Ambassador and buy the guild hall. In the guild hall, you may buy various services. You should invest only in the Xunlai Chest because your guild may die out or you may not want to continue being a guild leader. Now you should choose your alliance depending on whether you are Kurzick or Luxon. You can do this at the House Zu Heltzer (Kurzick) or Cavalon (Luxon). Now you must choose whether you want your guild to be PvP, PvE, GvG, HoH, Farming, ETC. Members Since you are done with the base of your guild, you will now need:
Now will begin one of the most tedious parts of starting your guild: recruiting. Recruiting is simple. You and your fellow officer(s) will go to popular places such as Temple of Balthazar, Kaineng City, or Lion's Arch and start recruiting by announcing the following: "Recruiting (active/loyal) for Guild Name [tag] Guild Hall, Cape, (website, ventrilo, teamspeak, kurzick, luxon, pvp, pve, etc.)" Here are some tips to help you gain members:
