No one joining ?

I've noticed this trend even before the new guild search was added. We've always had people randomly join our guild (when we weren't full) even if they didn't meet the requirements stated in our guild description but in the past 6 months I don't think anyone joined like that.
It wasn't that common before but nowadays it just doesn't happen at all.

Well with the new guild search it doesn’t allow you to refresh and show new guilds its always the same ones.

So Now you would have to search by name or ally search to find new ones.

It really limits the guilds you can find in game without the previous recommend option that allowed refreshing.

Agree…we’ve seen a big drop off as well in new players joining. Historically, when a slot opened up, there would be 2 or 3 “joinees” within 24hrs…fast fwd to today, and we’ve had a slot unfilled for like a month, which has not happened to us since the guild was formed when guilds first launched.

do you advertise on discord/forum as well?

That’s my next step

We too noticed sudden drop in new players in last few weeks. Before that we had several requests pop up in a day or two after removal inactive players and had no trouble to fill empty spot. Now it's quiet. Maybe there is some connection with updated guild search function.

Yes, the same thing happen to us. Now it’s just strange how after the updated guild search function not one request now.

I don’t think it’s that strange. What’s your guild like ? People can see now what your TB or TW record is like before they join. They can also see if you’re Wat ready because let’s be honest I think most of the player base wants GLOW. Some players want Crancor as well so if you don’t have either of those or have a poor record then recruitment is going to be very difficult. It could also just be a bad luck spell you never know. Without seeing your guild it’s hard to say

Disco Stu doesn't advertise

I believe this has been noted before, guilds on the suggested list tend to rotate or drop off and this can lead to a decrease in random players joining.
