User blog comment:Voltixx/Any tips on running a guild?/@comment-30492097-20180727203311

1. Get your name out there.

Reason: Marketing. The more people that know of your guild, the better.

2. Set planned activities

Reason:  Activity. When you have a planned activity, it gives players a reason to play the game, thus making your guild active, instead of people just in your guild just as an inactive player.

3. Hierarchy

Reason: People love being in power, so why not have a ranking system, not based on level but based on them doing the planned activities.

4.  Do not play "God".

Reason: If you play god, you will create distance between you and those below you in terms of rank, treat everyone similarly to an equal, while still playing the leader role. Another thing you need to do is listen. People hate their ideas being dismissed as soon as they ask.

Tip: If you just can't do what someone suggests, tell them you can't do that request and why, specifically. Either that or say yes, with a condition. "Can we go to the boss?" someone may ask, to which I would recommend you should say "Yes, after we finish this task." but yeah, if you absolutely can't/don't want to, just say no and give the reason why.

5. Respect

Reason: This is one of my biggest must-haves in a guild. This ties with "Do not play god", but I think it's just so important I had to make a separate point on it.

These are just a few things that I believe you, as well as everyone else, should consider these tips because running a big guild is hard and time-consuming. Hope your guild grows big, as well as yourself in terms of leadership.
