Alright, as always, you'll be Jim and I'll be frank.
This whole 'rewarding new members and closing guilds' thing is stupid in my opinion, I'm just gonna bring that out there. People shouldn't have to be bribed into joining things.
On the contrary, they should want to join guilds because they want to. Not because they have to, or they'll get something for doing it.
In my honest opinion, the only viable reasons why a guild would be closed is because of inactivity, and plot-based reasons.
Say I wanted to join Sabertooth, but Sabertooth was closed. Now think about myself making a character before I learned that fact. How pissed off, or rather disappointed am I gonna be that I have to go back and rewrite some parts of my character?
Now onto the whole guild inactivity thing.
Like Kira said above, guild management should be left to the guildmasters(Although a member or two might have a good idea every now and then.). They, like the members represent the entire guild, except that they're more revered in a sense.
Obviously if I were a guildmaster, and I was inactive, I'd absolutely expect my guild to be running into the ground.
I can say this with absolute certitude because some of us seem to be hung up over the fact that our guildmasters are inactive.
Well, of course a guildmaster being on or not can make or break a guild, but it's times like these where someone has to take control.
You know what I'm saying? If your GM's out, do something about it. Now I'm not saying that you should pester your GM to resign and give you the spot or anything, but you should make an extra effort to bring publicity to the place.
GM's out? Do something. Only a handful of members in your guild? Then do something. Don't just sit around feeling sorry for yourself about something you supposedly can't control, because you can control it.
With that being said, I only have a couple of things to say to the rewarding stuff brought up earlier.
If you, as a guildmaster, have to bribe people into joining your guild, then your guild is literally headed for disaster.
Do you know why I say that? Because bribing members drops morale. You'll have people who only joined to get stuff. You'll also have people breaking major parts of their history/lore just to get something that they probably could have easily gotten themselves.
Not only that, you'll be known as the guild who has to pay their members to get in.
So it really wouldn't be in your better judgment to do some crap like that, but that's just my opinion.
Everything I have said here is not geared towards offending anyone.
