Recruitment is our life blood - YOU can help!

A wise man once said "A guild that isn't growing, is a guild that is dying".

Recruiting is an important part of sustaining our Chapters. Luckily recruiting is one of the areas that everyone can and is encouraged to help out. Before I give some tips on how you can help recruit, a little bit of a word on what type of person we are looking for.

What type of recruit does the Aureus Knights look for?

This one is a lot simpler than you might imagine: Someone you'd like to play with. The thing that sets Aureus Knights apart from other guilds is that we are a community of friends that lives beyond any one game. The idea is to create connections and friendships that will last not just in this chapter but in the next and the next one and who knows, maybe you'll even invite a Knight or two to your wedding.

So when out in the world playing ask yourself: Is this person I'm about to pitch the guild to someone I and my fellow Knights would enjoy having around?

And now, how can you help out with recruiting?

Always be on the prowl in game

When you are out grouping or questing be on the look out for potential recruits. This doesn't mean you have to be selling the guild to every single person you see but if you find someone who stands out, even if they are already wearing a guild tag, mention that you are part of a great guild that is always looking for a solid member. You can point them towards the website, an officer, or our ventrilo. Anything you can do to create a connection with them that keeps us in their mind and makes it easy for them to follow up.

Bump Them Threads

One of our most reliable sources of recruitment is our recruitment threads on various forums around the internet. We'd ask that our members "constructively bump" these threads as often as they are comfortable and in a manner that doesn't make you look like a dirty spammer.

Tell Your Friends

Probably the easiest to do but most often overlooked recruitment method - TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Do you have some buddies who are playing? Point them here and get them involved in our community. You love it here, why wouldn't they?

A final thought...

Recruitment really is something that everyone can get involved with. I know people have different comfort levels but any contribution you make to bringing fresh blood in to the guild goes a long way.

Another really important thing to remember is that despite we are a rather large guild it's never about numbers. Quality should always be our primary driver when it comes to recruits.

We have a handful of recruitment threads up now!

On any of these URLs where you are already a member please go share your thoughts about the guild and your experiences with us. Your stories will help bring on the next generation of W* members!

Ryan, I think they removed your thread because you put the server name and not the type of server; ie: PVP, PVE etc...
