Okay guys, I am after some guild advice.
A bunch of people from my previous guild jumped ship with me and my boy to start up our own guild. We've got everything setup - bank tab (working on more), tabard, website etc etc. We want a bunch more high leveled players so we can get together a raid team but I figure generally just having more members is a good thing to start with. So, aside from setting up a macro to post your guild spiel in trade, are there any good ways of expanding your guild numbers? Any particular way we should be wording our advertising?
Lines:
I tried that once with some friends on the server and it just didn't go very far. We ended up being absorbed by another guild that one of the guys knew people in that was much larger. We also had a chat channel that linked a few guilds together for when we were raiding and needed more people. But when I restarted, the guild had been absorbed by yet another guild and I left it to join one with my meat life friends. It's still a smaller guild of people we mostly know, but if we do group things with decent players that have no guild or are unhappy with theirs, we invite them. I think in all the guilds I've been in, adding people through groups was the biggest influx I saw other than trade macros.
As for wording, just state what you're looking for and what type of guild you want to be. Definitely mention that you have a bank and tabard and that there's a website on the way.

If you're interested in quality over quantity and have raiding ambitions, the best tool is to be running instances constantly and to include one or two non-guildies with every run whenever possible. Any time you're working with new people is an opportunity to see what they can do as well as a chance to show off your own skills. Remember, unless you're an established guild, you're trying out for them as much as they're trying out for you. Back in my first guild, our best recruiting tools were easily the attunment quests for Onyxia and Blackwing Lair. There's no better advertisement than a group of guys with the same guild name floating under their name helping you quickly tear through otherwise time consuming content. It shows you know how to get stuff done and are interested in people who want to do the same.

Thanks for letting me know. :x
(unless you sent me something in game, I haven't had the chance to log on lately, then its :lol:)
Guys, I level really slowly. But I don't get the chance to play as often as I'd like. I totally wish I could play at work. Which is why I want to buy a laptop.

QFT but watch you do not poach, I have my prot warrior in a sick raiding guild with some college buddies and my DK in a nice raiding guild with one of my meatlife friends that I see alot at LAN and we play together every day (the restro drood) so I can jump back and forward raiding with both guilds, the second guild know they can ask for me to use my main as OT but recently my friend has been dropping heavy hints that he wants my prot warrior in his guild, I am not cool with this as recruiting in that guild has stopped so if I left now I would never get back in anyway, but I do not want to leave ever as I like the guys. I got 6 +16 def yellow gems fo free from my friend, he would not accept payment but he has a bunch of 70/80's, but I suppose since I have been making THESE for any guild hunter I see who does not have a purpl on their back and offering to kit out peoples DK's for free (too much cobalt/saronite) so it all balances out.
I am not raiding until I get uncrittable, I am uncrittable in all HC's (490) but not in raids (540) so it will take a while before I am mega useful.
Oh, and whoever's dad is a hunter, might want to consider getting 2 of those swords then ench with agi/AP and it will be fucking ace until that item level 213 purpl drops.
