If You Build It - They Will Come
So here we are; a guild site, an alliance site, a Ventrilo server and seven members as of today. I believe I have provided the tools our members need so when the The Old Republic launches we can hit the ground running.
I find the recruitment process is rather painful. My concern isnt for myself but rather my guildmates who depend on me to find the new blood whom will be a proactive addition; not someone who will just be comfortable with a guild tag. I have actually turned down a couple applicants, one because of a perceptive attitude and one because of no communication past the application stage.
I am at a nexus in deciding if I should just be willing to accept members to pad the numbers or take the high road and be as selective as I have been. I guess we have time before launch but I need to ensure my selctiveness doesnt approach the elitism often found in guilds. I need to ensure our members dont suffer for poor choices.
Overall we have some pretty decent members joined up so far. I will feel much better when our wayward members finally join back up from their other games. twenty-three have emailed me so far stating they will join us, but I realistically dont expect more than fifteen. I know how hard it can be to leave a game ou ae confortable with.
