That's exactly right - I didn't want the guild to grow so quickly and I didn't want large groups to come along and have their culture influence the guild in a large way, but it's very difficult when guildies ask if their friends coming back to the game can have a spot here as a social and it feels churlish to refuse. The largest influx has been from Blackrock - Neri and Disco's friends - and for the MOST part they have been an easy social bunch. Concur was a social guild like ours so I expect them to adapt more quickly to the Frostwolves guild culture than those who came from hard core raiding guilds or guilds with a lot of uncouth and unchecked behaviour.Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-37967706362585205712014-12-03T09:32:28.685+11:002014-12-03T09:32:28.685+11:00Growing pains are inevitable.

If you recruit a small number of people they generally assimilate into the guild culture or leave, and if they do something out of place it is easy to correct. Rapid growth particularly when you have multiple people who already know each other join together, they can bring their own culture with them. That isn't necessarily bad, what is is when new people complain about how things are and/or try to change them without consideration of all those that come before them. I don't think countering this is dictatorial, I think it is important to maintain a standard and trust in your officers to guide you because herd behaviour can have a strong influence, and unchecked the culture can change before you know it.Crookednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-6320215970230781442014-12-03T05:34:39.493+11:002014-12-03T05:34:39.493+11:00In the last 2 months only one of the people who jo...In the last 2 months only one of the people who joined was not known to me - the rest got in for being friends with guildies. Which you would think might make it easier but I think I had rspid growth TOO suddenly. I think if I had people come in smal increments then it would be easier to integrate.<br /><br />Everyone who joined who was new had to go through me and I was pretty specific in my conversation with them. Everyone claims to want what I am looking for in a guild but it's offhand comments in guild chat that make people uncomfortable - things like talking about doing certain things which are "easy" or how looking up things is silly because you should be able to figure it out from in the game. Those sorts of comments make other players feel like they are stupid or lesser players and it's hard to control that because they are not directed at people, they are conversations between guildies that just happen to occur in guild chat.<br /><br />I can't change people suddenly but i think i can do it gradually. The problem is that people want instant results but everything takes time. My gosh this comment is long lol!Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-26609303765128548332014-12-03T01:02:35.384+11:002014-12-03T01:02:35.384+11:00Our guild is similar in a way (although probably n...Our guild is similar in a way (although probably not as far advanced as far as raiding, etc, is concerned) in that we've had a large influx of new players over the last few weeks. It does cause concern but we do have a vetting process and, although some people in the guild think it's a little strict, as I've said to them, I'd rather miss out on a good person, than recruit a bad one. Because the bad cause a heck of a lot of problems, for everyone in the guild.<br /><br />Luckily we have enough people in the guild who have been with us a considerable length of time, who are happy to include new people in chat .. and we also encourage random dungeon guild groups to include new people.<br /><br />We have a massive list of rules, but they kinda grew organically ... when something bad happened in the guild, we'd talk about it and suggest ways to avoid it in the future, and that would become a "rule". But at the end of the day, our rules do boil down to "be nice .. don't say in game what you wouldn't say to someone in real life". Just the rules say it multiple ways :p<br /><br />We have had people question certain rules in the past .. but as they came about the way they did, we can point out specific examples of WHY a rule exists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
