Amen brother, i've tried many times to run a guild, but you can't do anything about the people that just gquit, or straight up don't pull their own weight... just a matter of luck. xD
l just have a guild for my personal use because l know people don't care. l actually feel bad for people that spam ads on their guild in public channel because l know it probably won't pay off
@@medivh1035 At least in my experience, if it's a Guild that commonly adverts its probably a Guild that's in the twilight phase and is like a month away from being dead
Was honestly hoping he would say the real trade secret to starting a successful guild which is join a big guild that's already successful and hijack the players you like from it
Does making "mistake" of taking over when noone logged in for two months counts? (during mop, still holding, though shadowlands hit a little more than usually)
It's funny how this basically makes the point that guilds are inherently impossible to maintain. xD And the reason for that, is because even if you really try your best manage the guild as a guild master, you can't do anything about the fact that people don't want to stay, or pull their own weight. Guilds are a group effort, and very few people understand the "group effort" part. xD
im a not a guild leader but im planning to help my guild as a class leader raid leader or officer . but my main concern is failure in communication. i feel like the only way to make a guild is to have a real life community :( how am i supposed to control people i dont even know
I just stepped down from a GM position in WoW classic TBC after 4-5 months and I can say testify that this video is 100% accurate in context to the GM experience. Also, great work Nixxiom.
My guild is an Afk-offline type of guild. It's created for abandoned alts who just want to have the 15 min cd reduction and mount speed on their alts. The name is Offline Dudes.
It's true and it helps you feel better when you join someone else's guild afterwards... and you are the most loyal guild member... Just let your leadership fail once again!
As someone who has made some successful groups in a few games, this video is very accurate not only to games but to real life companies as well. However you forgot to mention the people management bit. Which for new guild/tribe/kingdom makers, yes you do actually have to manage members. Which means giving people tasks and checking up on them frequently. Otherwise you run into the problem this video mentioned of basically having freeloaders or people who don’t help or do anything.
I been an officer quite alot of times over the years, a co gm couple times for close friends and a gm to my own guild oy my older server. Went very well, definitely made couple mistakes as 1st time gm which have learn from from when get guild going again. But what I will say (and why not started guild up again yet) is that is you care about making a good guild it does require alot of time to put in (so if your working alot and alot other RL stuff it may be bit difficult). One thing you definitely need and helps alot (especially if you can't sit on wow all day everyday) is to get a solid team of officers, maybe even a 2nd in command (but a 2nd in command must be highly trusted player, like a very good friend for years in game). It is alot of work if you can put in the effort, but also very rewarding if your guildies really enjoy your guild and active at coming to events.
Forgot the crafting/monetary guilds, those are quite common and often pretty damn powerful when it comes the nerve of the war : Getting RICH (in a mmo) xD
rofl, most accurate video I've seen yet. I ran my guild "Myrmidons" on Incendius then to Netherwind during vanilla classic. The Pve loot description of players is spot on.
My classic tbc casual raiding guild turns 1 year 11 of May and this video is painfully true. Its been challenging first year, but i dont regret a thing.
im no GM, but in my experience the success of a guild sometimes rely heavily on the experience the GM has with the game and its Content. i do believe it goes a long way to know the game well as a GM if you want your guild to be taken seriously and prosper
In WoW specifically, it might be good to start with a “community” and then later transition to a guild. (For reference, you can only be in one guild, but you can be in up to 50 communities.) Thus, people are much more likely to join as there’s no exclusivity to it, and thus there’ll be more people to join your events. Then, once you’ve become “known,” you can start getting exclusive members via a guild.
That's pretty much what I tell people who want to make Discord servers for specific games or even host their own server: Get a community or some form of clan first before making that massive leap
Oy! Was that MattyPlays???? Siq Kunt!!!!! So glad to see that he is back!!!!! Love his cameos and his original content. Wish he’d bring his channel back. Much love nixxiom! Love your content too!
Never played any mmo except ffxi and I was deep, deep into that one. I ran 3 successful guilds with very specific endgame purposes at the same time and my leadership group was the same for all 3 groups. It was my 6 man very tight group of extremely well geared characters who did any 6 man event together. We had a 18 man group shell called fail who did limbus, a 33 man shell that did einherjar called einhergizerbunnies, and a 64 man dynamis group that I inherited from a different endgame group that I can’t remember the name of. All 3 guilds were extremely successful and most of the players who joined one wanted in them all. After a time we were turning people away from all guilds and you had to join the big one to have a chance at one of the smaller ones. Also I had a reputation of replacing people on the spot for not showing up without letting anyone know in advance. Someone in the dynamis shell, yo you still want in einherjar? If so we got an open spot and you have 15 minutes to get here come on x job. But what makes a successful shell? Successful raids… if you are doing an Odin every 2 weeks, full time extensions/full clears in lower dynamis zones and atleast one omega a week you are going to be getting gear very fast and you are going to be dealing with 10-20 applications for every one you accept. I also had a reputation for “fairness” in that I gave job priority to no one… if you want it and you bid the most dip, it is yours as long as you are within 10 levels of equipping it on any job.
I once created guild called Manly Manduins right at the end of the Legion expansion. We had so much fun in making fun of roleplayers and occasional PvE for few months and then I disband the guild because too much people left or moved on. There was at least 30 of us. Imagine my regret when I find out Battle for Azeroth. Anduin was much bigger badass. MY GUILD WOULD BE FUCKING FAMOUS!!!
Started new YT account on phone and been on internet almost yr again, was disconnected since 2016, and went to resub to Big Matty because of this vid. Hard to remember everyone from back then but recognized right away.
I'm a Guild Master of not just 1 but 2 guilds of the same name but in two different servers, and let me tell you what will make you a successful guild, Help your members. And should you fail, Never disband, what you do is you make that your ultimate Bank Toon, pay someone to invite a lower alt, aka lol your Bank Toon, then you make that toon the GM and free up your main perhaps. Never disband all that space. And in my experience, be prepared to be dynamic, so you can offer multiple avenues, be a PvP/PvE RP Lvling, Dgn and Raid, Social Guild. That way there is something for everyone. Or start off doing what you know, then you can make people who want to lead groups in PvP or A Raid, maybe one group wants to PvE and RP, while another just wants to PvE and chat in groups. My first Guild started off being a kind of social Lvling Dgn guild, then it got to a point where people wanted to more so I picked a PvP Leader made them an officer and off they went organizing events same with PvE and so on. I had over 750 members, at any given hour there was always people on. Myself and toe Co-GM we lol got to just relax and play, the officers and Council Members were all able to run things and all get along as there was a zero drama policy. Rarely was there an issue that was brought to me, or something I had to deal with. But I also was involved if someone got the boot I wanted to know why. I had weekly letters come in from reports from my Guild leaders, it was a fabulous well oiled machine and looked like no end was in sight!!! The I had to pass GM off to one of my most trusted Councilman while I had to step away, which was supposed to be for a few months, that was in 2014, so from 2005-2014 I just recently came back 2024, and I found that my guild was dark and quiet. My original Toon was able to regain GM status but there was no one one!!! Like everyone just died. Their toons are all still in there, so it wasn't like they all left, so strange to see over 750 members all offline. And then I got a letter from a member that had stayed and stayed on playing all that time. You best believe I promised that guy. And then I got a whisper from another member on another server. The server I am on says HIGH in Red meaning there's a lot of people in that server, right? SW looks like Northernd Dala....empty. Hardly any one on for it to be High population. But on my former Guild members server OMG night and day!!! So I'm have to restart my first Guild, get it up and running again, and by some stupid luck was asked to start another guild on another server same name too... different tabards but that's what the people wanted so I suppose that's okay, like a different same club just a different charter state....I don't know. My point to all this is NEVER GIVE UP, And keep trying, be of help and be fair to your members and the guild will grow. I also HIGHLY recommend keeping a small note book, or big one, just to keep notes about members as there isn't a lot of note room in game and no one can delete your notes. For example keeping track of how many times a guild member has been warned to not do or say something before you demote them into the rank of Nothing before they feel that smooth toe cap on the tip of the boot as it kicks them in their soft valley. Also having a recruiting Day, once a week for an hour helps build. Guild finder is okay, just wish there was a better system to let you know when someone has an application in, I always seem to see them weeks after and the person had moved on. Should be something simpler like a Guild Directory where you can search guilds and have the name of the Guild Master and perhaps a #2 Guild Officer to help assist, and just DM them to inquire. Good luck out there, did not give up. I started WoW trying to give food low lvl food at that to a mage didn't know they made their own food Noob here lol to a Guild Master of not just 1 but 2 guilds. 1 I'm having to start over but the numbers are building and some remember the old guild, I open my friend box and there's just page after page of people who knew my secondary alt, and I've gotten people in like that. Trade chat is so busy on the other server that you never can read what people are saying, so if this is the case for you, then go to the starting locations for the new toons and see politely if people want to join. Good luck out there and never give up Thanks for reading sorry this is long and my apologies if there are typoes I am sure there are, but this was written out on my phone And I am not editing this mini novel on my phone. No keyboard, just two happy thumbs. Thanks again be well and be safe!
I joined a free company in Final Fantasy XIV. They are really nice people, but I've been so busy with work and so miserable the rest of the time I've hardly had any time to really get to know any of them. Not sure why I'm writing this here. Just a guild related... Story? I guess... I'm one of the reasons your guild will fail, yes that's it!
We have a very intersting community on EU. The 50 Twink Community, basically a place for people without Shadowlands or people intersted twinking or playing BfA endgame, PvP in special - Modrov, one of the community leaders
My first reaction to seeing the video's title was that I'm not making a guild. I don't need to watch this. That was followed closely by, shit, it's Nixxiom. I need to watch this!
I was hoping he would cover the subject of a cool catchy guild name . A name is like a banner , and is the first impression people will get of the guild .
When it comes to leveling guilds, wouldn't it be a good idea to have it be focused on the new player experience? Like a type of a way of getting new players to meet up with each other?
Pretty much what J Nex said. Almost all the big successful guilds are inevitably cults of personality who revolve around 1 or a small handful of individuals. Occasionally you see a rare guild which grows large enough to outgrow the cult of personality but for every 200 people you recruit you might find 1 person suited to doing "officer" or leadership type role in the guild. Its why many many times guilds die when the person the guild revolves around quits. In theory you've got 500+ active people all in one chat with many officers and other people who can run events who people know somewhat, but in reality there is 1 person holding that glue together.
Perfect timing as I’m trying to make a guild on Grobbulus Alliance once Sunwell starts finishing up. Sky Strikers, a raid-PvP focused guild. Whisper Kuriboh for more details!
Hey guys, for all you MMO'RPG players out there looking for your opinion on something. I am thinking of creating a completionist guild on wow. A guild focused on creating premades for achievement hunting, mount / pet / toy / transmog collecting. Do you think alot of players would be interested in this? because I know their are plenty of players out there who like collecting achievs, transmog, mount, pets etc, yet in my years on wow don't think I ever seen a guild who's main purpose was this.
I thought maybe after all those years this would motivate me once more to make a guild again. But it just reminded me why i just gone and fucked myself. Guess i will continue to do so.
Back in 2005, the guild I joined was my friend's older brother's one. He and a whole bunch of University friends all started it and we're all leaders, we always had slowly recruited 'outsiders' people we didn't know in real life. It became a very successful guild but real life broke it apart in BC. It was definitely the ventrillo chats, forum and community spaces with online raid rosters and logistics that made it work. The uni guys all graduated and stopped playing WoW. Such is life.
3 years GM here. I can rely to this shit xD. Especially the "do it again" part xD. Recently I've noticed that I'm the only one player in the guild who was already there at the beginning 3 years ago. So when I say "our guild is 3 years old" well, the guild is... me and myself. I think that GMs who are too utopists or emotional cant hold on a long time. I focus on my own objectives (for example : achievements in WoW) and found guildmates who wanted the same thing. Common interest is the best thing to maintain guilds alive. Friendship is not.
It's missing one important element which is if you're a streamer, you'll have virtually none of these issues because people will flock to you and stick on you like flies on shit.
Obviously the solution is to make a RP/PvP guild. Where its in character to go fight in the open world, then only the tryhards you murder as a raid in the Zereth Mortis portal room (since its not protected) scream at for not having rating, but they're just salty. *sagely nod*, love from both Clan Battlehammer of Emerald Dream AND Sunfury Battalion of Wyrmrest Accord!
don't forget about guild bank access. people really dig a guild that has some good access to a guild bank....you know, so they can ninja stuff out and all. You put that in your advertisement, and you are sure to have lots of people join the guild, well, at least for 5mins until they leave with items from your guild bank XD
I've been in a guild for like 6 years since 2015 on a horde character and I have yet to get kicked. I've played on that character like for a month and forgot about it. They seem active though so I might jump back in.
I tried to have a guild with friends, but we didn't share a goal and not everyone wanted to put the effort, at the end it felt like a big waste of time. I enjoyed the good moments and suffered through the bad ones. at the end I said no more I'm to old for this bs. now I'm a "guildless" soul.
Are you going to get yourself a Bald cap?
I was waiting for the sponsor and i was like "wait no way is he actually sponsored by this"
Do you have like a bald fetish, you keep mentioning it in like every video
No , I already scare every female in a ten mile radius into running away

I'm a GM myself and I can assure you, making a successful guild is 100% pure fucking luck.
I got lucky.
Amen brother, i've tried many times to run a guild, but you can't do anything about the people that just gquit, or straight up don't pull their own weight... just a matter of luck. xD

Ill hand it to you, bald caps for a sponsor is one of the more original and funny sponsors Ive seen in a long time!
Can't believe Asmond didn't jump on it already.
Guilds are easiest to make when the MMO launches since there won't be any established top guilds
And if the game has been out for quite a while it is next to impossible.
Unless guilds from other games are already planning on going there.
Being a GM for 6 years, all said in video is truth
im a not a guild leader but im planning to help my guild as a class leader raid leader or officer . but my main concern is failure in communication. i feel like the only way to make a guild is to have a real life community :( how am i supposed to control people i dont even know

that doesnt look too bad, statistically i only have to repeat this process 100 times to be succesful POG
Best place to put these steps into action is a new player realm, highest chance of success when there aren't a lot of choices that are better
Literally just started a guild a few days ago. This vid does fuckin wonders for my self esteem lol
Nixxiom your TH-cam channel is and always will be my favorite keep up the awesome work 😎👍
You forgot a step: Making a good guild name that people will like.
The music in chapter 5 was so good OMG
This sums up WoW too perfectly
The Baldcap needs the Nintendo 64 controler shaped hair or it just won't be the same! :(
:)
Yeah, need to get a permanent marker and shade it onto the bald cap
Had literally forgotten to like the video until dude reminded me to and called me a fuckhead. 😂
Perfect timing as I’m trying to make a guild on Grobbulus Alliance once Sunwell starts finishing up. Sky Strikers, a raid-PvP focused guild. Whisper Kuriboh for more details!
Hey guys, for all you MMO'RPG players out there looking for your opinion on something. I am thinking of creating a completionist guild on wow. A guild focused on creating premades for achievement hunting, mount / pet / toy / transmog collecting. Do you think alot of players would be interested in this? because I know their are plenty of players out there who like collecting achievs, transmog, mount, pets etc, yet in my years on wow don't think I ever seen a guild who's main purpose was this.
Sounds neet
I thought maybe after all those years this would motivate me once more to make a guild again.
But it just reminded me why i just gone and fucked myself.
Guess i will continue to do so.
Real cheeky FFXIV clip there, Nixxiom. XD
You should try playing Guild wars 2. The leveling is decent but the end game is Amazing!
I swear this video gave me flashbacks.
Back in 2005, the guild I joined was my friend's older brother's one. He and a whole bunch of University friends all started it and we're all leaders, we always had slowly recruited 'outsiders' people we didn't know in real life. It became a very successful guild but real life broke it apart in BC. It was definitely the ventrillo chats, forum and community spaces with online raid rosters and logistics that made it work. The uni guys all graduated and stopped playing WoW. Such is life.
Level 58 DK returns! :D
3 years GM here. I can rely to this shit xD. Especially the "do it again" part xD. Recently I've noticed that I'm the only one player in the guild who was already there at the beginning 3 years ago. So when I say "our guild is 3 years old" well, the guild is... me and myself. I think that GMs who are too utopists or emotional cant hold on a long time. I focus on my own objectives (for example : achievements in WoW) and found guildmates who wanted the same thing. Common interest is the best thing to maintain guilds alive. Friendship is not.
RIP Sleeper Cartel - Perenolde
my guild is just a bigger reagent bank and its just me in it
This is going to be hysterical when the greech reacts
Train that thousand yard stare
3:24 the cringe face fuckin did me in completely 🤣🤣🤣
i hear deadpool talking
1. Have a Dal as a recruiter/GM because she's absolutely insane and also a pro guild destroyer to steal people from the remnants lol
7:42 Yes yes I know, you're welcome
Almighty lord Nixxiom. Wanna perform as a gnomish slave in your guild!
It's missing one important element which is if you're a streamer, you'll have virtually none of these issues because people will flock to you and stick on you like flies on shit.
lol, as a former GM this was way to fkn real. sent it to my new GM :D
Oh the IMMENSE nostalgia for SWG
Obviously the solution is to make a RP/PvP guild. Where its in character to go fight in the open world, then only the tryhards you murder as a raid in the Zereth Mortis portal room (since its not protected) scream at for not having rating, but they're just salty. *sagely nod*, love from both Clan Battlehammer of Emerald Dream AND Sunfury Battalion of Wyrmrest Accord!
5:17 damn
Someone that a lot of us actually know does not need a bald cap
Oh! NewCluck! Neat!
The bald one will not take this lying down!
don't forget about guild bank access. people really dig a guild that has some good access to a guild bank....you know, so they can ninja stuff out and all. You put that in your advertisement, and you are sure to have lots of people join the guild, well, at least for 5mins until they leave with items from your guild bank XD
Recruiting members chill and friendly guild with active discord, doing all content :)
that Asmon clip KEKW
I've been in a guild for like 6 years since 2015 on a horde character and I have yet to get kicked. I've played on that character like for a month and forgot about it. They seem active though so I might jump back in.
Owowow are those machinima bits sprinkled into the video to add it more flare? HMMMMM YESSSS, gimme more, daddy 😌😌😌
Im starting a guild in wow hoping too make a fun community :)
I tried to have a guild with friends, but we didn't share a goal and not everyone wanted to put the effort, at the end it felt like a big waste of time.
I enjoyed the good moments and suffered through the bad ones.
at the end I said no more I'm to old for this bs.
now I'm a "guildless" soul.
Damn, you nailed it!!!
The bald cap sponsor just so it hits Asmondgold when he scumbags off your hard work. Well played sir. Well played.
fuckin bald cap and asmongold, pure genius
07:42
Your welcome xD
You forgot the 5th guild type, the dark magic of guilds. Trolling/Shitpostin Guild
i thought only my guilds go like this
Yay a fellow aussie voice over lad!
Step 1: If you have a family or a job. Drop and abandon them
I knew it. Nixxiom is a forsaken! 2:55. There is one frame with no jaw and one eye. Got a screenshot, if you need proof!
that was epic!
Ahhh I'm proud to be an Aussie :)
Druid tales, when you ll do it again please? Thank you.
There's a prase i hear somewhere that said
People did not make friends
People become friends
