I chose none of the above because I feel like it's better to join something that's already active, help improve it and learn what goes into running a successful guild than to start an entirely new one. Have you had any experience as a crew member or vice captain of a guild before? If so, how big was it and how active was it? What were you expected to do?

I say this because I'm the Captain of two guilds, a VC in two more, and a crew member here in BURN. A lot of work is needed to keep a guild up and active, and most of it is done by the Captain and Vice Captain. If the guild exec staff doesn't put their heart into running a guild, its members lose interest and move on to something else.

Also, if you're set on starting a guild no matter what, I recommend buying one from someone and cleaning it out rather than starting one brand new. You're more likely to get something with subforums and gold in the guild account already for a lot cheaper than what it would cost to start completely new. If you want subforums, you have to add 2.5k for each one you want on top of the start-up fee for a brand new guild, whereas I've seen someone sell a guild with six subforums for 10k that had a member base. It takes some work, deleting all the old threads, demoting old crew, and setting up everything you want in its place, but that's part of what goes into making a successful guild.


Tl;Dr?
-Don't get a guild unless you're going to put in the effort to run it
-If you get a guild, buy one from somebody selling their old one instead of making a brand new one because it's usually a better deal.


It's not a new one, it's an old one that never really got up and running and he thought it was the topic, so he wanted to see what would interest people more smile

Oh, ok. Do you have a link to it that I could see? Sometimes it's just that the members no longer look at guilds period. You might have to just search interests and send out invites to people. Has he asked the members what they would like to see as well?

Alright, I see now. Then I recommend broadening your guild's focus from just a Naruto high school yaoi roleplay to maybe a guild with Naruto-related roleplays. You could go even broader than that, like Hikari Faire suggested, and just do all kinds of roleplays.

Something that will make your guild successful is by giving it something a little different to stand out that other guilds with the same kind of focus won't have. What that thing should be, I don't know and couldn't give you any suggestions since you don't know yet what your focus will be. Good luck.

User Image Hmm... Try doing a search for Naruto guilds and you can see how many pops up in the search result =D That being said, how unique does your friend wants his guild to be? (O_o)

I'm agreeing with the suggestion of making it a general RP-based guild and specifically assort the themes in subs. But if he's really just into Naruto, then make it the best-est one out there yet xD In order to do so, he might have to do some ninja snooping himself, joining other Naruto-based guilds and learning their formula of success.

For the record, I didn't cast a vote since I'm leaning more towards the No Guild option but that would be mean xD~ User Image
