4 months ago we had a rookie joined the guild. And he exclaimed in joy that he finally found an active guild.
I didnt pay attention much back then. But yesterday for some reason, i wanna see how some old guilds in Everglades are doing (still playing or become inactive). By doing that, i discover that almost all guilds shown when searching some word have become inactive. It can clearly be indicated now coz the devs reset skill point when they released conquest beta. So all inactive guilds’ max number of members have turned back to 12 while the members they have are a lot more (e.g. 35/12).
I think this is very bad situation and something must be done. When new players start the game, the game should help them filter active guilds so they can continue playing and growing in this game. If all guilds that they apply to are inactive or if almost all guilds shown after many refreshes are inactive guilds, this will end up causing new players to quit the game.
The devs already create problem by creating too many servers and spreading VF population thin. I think the devs should at least do something to facilitate new players for the longevity of the game. Please remove all inactive guilds so that new players have easier time finding a home (it should clearly be seen after guild skill points reset). And players that are still in the guild with inactive GM will move to new home as well. Help grouping activity and reduce the number of inactive guilds to prevent new players getting the impression that this game is abandoned and there is hardly any active guild.
