What's up with guilds?

I just came back and started on a new server but having a difficult time finding a guild. I am on Khaz Modan which shows a high population. I don’t see anyone advertising in the chats anymore. I have tried the guild finder and have been accepted to 2 guilds but both are dead and it took forever to even get accepted. The 2nd time around I had applied to like 15 different ones. Is there a better way to find a guild or is shadowlands that bad?

if u get add in trade chat , u click it say i wanna go in i no celebrate , there gonna say she so good in WOW we love her , ur invite to guid

we’re in a content drought before a new patch, most guilds are gonna be dead till it comes out.

I really do not have advice but I wanted to wish you luck.

It sucks joining a guild when you don’t know anyone… and trying to get into the clicks. ugh.

Luv the name

A lot of people are quitting because they don’t like the direction this expac has gone in. It’s a terrible time to be looking for friends or guilds. Not saying you won’t find any, but more likely if you do it’ll fall apart in a few months.

The server pop labels are no longer dynamic. They used to move up and down with the playerbase.

Back in early BFA when tons of people quit the game the servers started to drop from high to med to low and it looked really bad on the login screen.

Blizzard changed the labels to arbitrarily say what they wanted them to say and all the dead and dying servers suddenly went back to full or high.

You could try the WoW pages on Facebook. :woman_shrugging: I wish you luck in your quest for a guild.

It’s a pretty dead realm it only has 1 guild with 10/10 progress and only 17 guilds with a single mythic kill

It also has a even split of alliance horde so cut those in half

If you’re not super invested into your character you could try starting up on area52/illidan/zuljin/wyrmrest for horde or stormrage/proudmoore/moonguard for alliance

Content drought, a lot of guilds have cleared the content they wanted

A lot of guilds are in Classic TBC right now because that version acts like a MMORPG and not Team Fortress 2 like retail currently does.

best advice anyone can give you:

ditch that toon and reroll on a better server.

Do you care what timezone/data center? you could go to mal’ganis, hyjal, tich, illidan, area52, thrall etc.

this post has some suggestions:

Thank you all for the info. I ended up going back to Zuljin and found a guild that seems pretty cool. I am glad it was more of a server issue than a game issue. I did forget that TBC Classic recently came out so that could also account for many MIA people.

One of the issues with the current state of guilds is this; Too many people want to be in charge. Therefor there are too many guilds with next to no active members.

They need to incentivize guilds to merge. The guild I just joined ended up dying in about 2 months.

Another issue is that people are only logging in for raid/M+ nights.

They turned the game into a job with FAR too many things to do and now people are just picking and choosing, which dilutes the players so badly that you can essentially consider core WoW players to equal about a quarter of the active accounts right now. PvE>PvP>Professions. That’s all we used to worry about. Now we add Dailies, Torghast, REQUIRED rep grinds, Command tables, M+ E-sport garbage, Weekly Vault and we haven’t even touched the “optional” content like Pet Battles…

WoW died because it was trying to be a swiss army knife the size of a machete. Sure it looked cool but the practicality of it wore off quick.

This. I’ve been guild hopping for the past couple of months looking for a guild that isn’t dead outside of raid nights. Or they’re so large/small that they’re cliquey and you end up pugging things anyway.

I usually join guilds by going through LFG and running through Normal/Heroic raids.
