RGW Raids On Hold

[Slush]

Should be noted that the numbers TL is refering to are not reliable.

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=324

"There are too few Alliance and Horde entries for this realm to give reliable results! Please help today by submitting data for this realm! Find out more about how to help here!"

Just thought you should know. Doesnt take more than a few interested persons actually to get some more or less correct numbers. Over the last 30 days, only 10 entries have been made. One every 3 days. I cant seem to dig up the numbers u did though, tl.

I'm reading alot of posts regarding realm population and even though some people are complaining about recruitment issues, others are not. The RL/GM of "Old Core", a newly established alliance guild says (on official Aszune forums) that he soon has his 10-man group up and going due to great recruitment.



There is somehting on wowprogress thats pretty interesting:

Aszune on 130th of 265 realms. Pretty much in the middle pack of all servers. The alliance side being heavier than the horde side.

Agreed they are not the most reliable figures due to the small sample size, but then the wowprogress figures are from Tier 13 which is also not tremendously reliable.   However the general point was that the trend is down and a reduction does seem to replicate the experience of most raid guilds who have progressively been forced into 10 man raiding or moving realms to feed their recruitment requirement without reducing quality.      At the end of the day we used to be a High population realm with lots of players, but player numbers these days are significantly lower :sad:

If anyone knows of any better data than low sample warcraftrealms, or Tier 13 data from wowprogress, then let us know please as it might be interesting!

It may not be 100% but it gives a good snapshot of what we are seeing with recruitment. I see what you say with our server being middle of the pack tho but that's just active players not always raiding players. 5700pop seems very low to me. If that number is chars and not accounts then eeeekk!

Fair play to anyone who can start a guild running at the moment I know we have been throwing stuff out in trade with little return. When we did/do get interest many want more raiding than 2 raid days or simply cant even find our forum :doh:

Thanks for the update on moving server agreed its not viable.  Still think 1 night a week would be a way of keeping things ticking over until numbers can be increased. Or am I in denial will some Rgw get assimilated by Rgt so there are fewer left than I think? Keep talking...necessity is the mother of invention

[Slush]

Well, both Slackers and Pulse moved their guilds to higher populated realms, both claiming recruitment was slow. I think its because its harder to recruit for 25-man. On the other hand: I have never had so many non-guildies on my friends list, doing pvp mostly, but also for chat and groups for stuff. Postal, Doomcaliber Knights, Pulse (oi, transferred :crying:), Void Gaming.. In my eyes the server is alive and kicking But those eyes are mine and not the eyes of any recruitment officer.

In a personal opinion, unless something drastic happens, it sure looks like Jas' alternative 2 going to happen. I hear recruitment process is slow, does officers actively want members to make trade spam based on the recruitment thread post?

RGW/RGT; This is where and what you want to see: http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?25229-Dead-Men-Raiding-Recruitment-Class-needs

Edit; Looks like that post could do with a bit of tweaking?
"RGW recruitment needs are relatively light at the moment, but we're always interested in exceptional players who would fit into our highly sociable & successful raid group."

Sorry to hear that you guys cant raid anymore! If I can help out for one night per week, I will be happy to do so! My enhanced shammy is ilvl 491 and I got a shadow priest at 488 in another guild on the server.

[vladic]

to make RGW viable again I would say we need a large recruitment drive, as some have stated the Trade recruitment spam etc doesnt appear to be grabbing many fishies or they cant find there way to the forums to complete an application.

To sithy, nah your not in denial mate, we have all enjoyed raiding with RGW, the only issue with doing 1 night a week is that if there is a tricky boss that we can kill but it takes several attempts we could end up with an instance always stuck on one boss, a good example would be the amber shaper.

lol I can not be away a week, and all hell breaks loose

that horrible news ... especially for me, that I was in the RGW from start.

I hope that things will change quickly.

:crying:

Lol sithy.

Rgw nights I can't make due to work, tues and thurs I can. There is still the possibility of me being late.

I can't ask people to change their nights just for me.

Also we just lost a tank with sharp leaving.

It's going to take a while getting rgw back up and running but with the enthusiasm from most hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
