I thought it would be kind of neat for Guildmasters to post their experiences and tips for running and making a successful guild to those who'd like or need advice. Members who often make guilds out of the blue may sometimes fail because either the members aren't cooperating or it's hard to guild people.
Any Guildmaster, Co-GM, Officer, or Member is welcome to come and post their tips, tricks, and hints for making a successful guild. I hope the information posted here is helpful and useful to those who wish to make one of their very own. But be warned, this be advice ye taking from a pirate, not all of them can be trusted.
