Making it fun- a GM’s questlog

Written by: Kaylee

I’ve been trying for about a month now to get our guild involved in doing things together, and i’ve finally hit the jackpot.

Got those members that only play with each other unless it’s a raid? That constant group of 5 that just does their own thing? Well- here’s an easy way to avoid getting those in your guild ( or at least make it not as definite.)

We have instituted ‘Guild Farming Day’. this may be different for guild further into progression since you all have some cracked-out gear, but the idea is pretty adaptable.

We have a points system, where when you get to 15 points, the guild will farm mats for a crafted item of your choice and if there’s a crafting fee, it will come out of the GB.

Point tallies will be shown as thus:
Instance = I
-1 point for half or more of the group being guild members
-2 points for a full guild run

Guild Contest = C
-1 point for participation

Guild Farming Day (for someone else) = F
-2 points for participation

Forum Attendance = A
- 1 point per week attendance thread is signed

Each Main will have their own thread and points will be distributed in that thread.

Example:
Goryending
1/23/08 (I) 1 point

^Gory earned one point for attending an instance run that contained 3 guildies.

It’s just a fun way to get people geared and get your guildies to work together towards a common goal- because, after all- that’s what a guild is for- right?

    That sounds like tons of fun! Its a great way to get guild participation, I know I would sure be more interested if I knew I would get some sweet item from helping around.

    Hope it works out for you guys. :)

    Sounds a great idea. Let us know how it works out

    We tried something similar, having a Karma system for (useful) forum posts, instance runs, and such earning credit for guild bank withdraws. worked out pretty well until folks forgot and gave up tallying the points. :)
    Sounds fun though if you get the whole guild involved and not just the officers, like we tried!
