Theres alot of things one can do inorder to help promote their number of members as well as keep it, but theres one main thing you MUST do if you want a successful guild.

Build friendships with the members.

Look at all of the really successful guilds around you, such as Black Barts Krewe, Dueces Wild, The Guardians, the Partners In Crime guilds, Rogues of Fortune, McRaging, etc. The reason they are so successful is because their members became friends with one another. Remember, there are two types of guilds out there. There are guilds, and then there are more-than-a-guild guilds. The difference? The regular guild is just a bunch of people who only engage in conversation such as "Ahoy" "Hey" "How are you," and maybe go out on a plunder run once in a while. Long story short, a guild like that is gonna lose members FAST, because theres no real reason for somebody to stay.

On the other hand, the more-than-a-guild guild is a guild were everybody treats one another like they've been friends forever. They pal around with each other all the time, make jokes, play games, and have fun. If you were looking for a guild to join, which one would you choose?

What Im saying is, if you show that you are a guild that wants to make long-lasting friendships with the members, then you will DEFINATELY get more members. Good luck Jack!
