Episode 8 - Starting a guild day one



Episode 8 - Starting on Guild Day 1

Things you need to have together:
1. Policy and rules
2. Name and tabard design
3. Any special rank ideas
4. Personal recruiting goals
5. A plan on how to develop a sense of pride
6. Website - wowguilds.ca
7. Ventrilo server - NationVoice
8. A little bit of gold for bank tabs
9. Have an established level 85 character and all of your alts in the guild.
- If you are going to truly be a guild leader you need to fully commit to it. Even officers shouldn't be in other guilds.
- If you and the leadership can't put your heart in it how do you expect your people to be?
10. Go in with a friend
11. Right now figure out what you want to be. What kind of a guild do you want? You have to be in alignment to this or it will fall apart.
12. Don't ever forget who's in charge.
- The more stuff you have in writing the less drama and people questioning it.
- People may try to take over at first- Don't let them.

  1. I recently made the jump with 4 friends to a new realm to create and manage my own guild and stumbled upon this blog and podcast... it's great! Thanks for all of the info and advice.

    As an alternative to http://www.wowguilds.ca

    I suggest taking a look at http://www.guildzilla.com
    I've managed a website with them for the past year in my old guild and am definitely utilizing their services for my own personal guild now.

    Looking forward to the future shows!
