Is it time to mothball the faction and make it open?

Open would mean you are all free to join other orgs and I would keep KGB in a minimalist mode until the situation changes.

Time to OPEN and MOTHBALL the faction?
single choice

The question is in relation to the KGB DFUW faction only and not KGB as a whole. As Morlander said, it would allow those that still play and enjoy DFUW to play with other clans, while still retaining their KGB membership.

In a closed faction, a KGB member cannot be tagged under any other clan except for KGB, while in an open faction, a KGB member can join other clans while still playing as KGB in other games and retaining their forum member access.

Here is my plan for mothball.

Transfer the keep to JetStar.
Deactivate all non-essential accounts (Leave Bartender Active)
Leave all core characters in KGB Guild

Open Faction so all members can join other organizations.

Take it one step further. Contact EVERYONE you can with questions as to what happened, what they felt happened and see if there is anything in that which KGB can fix. If not, proceed. if it's fixable, refocus and do so.

We all know game mechanics bull. If the issues are not that, then they are most likely fixable with a refocus, outlined goals and actions designed to meet those goals.

All in all, perhaps to little to late, but there you have it.

Desire to log in is the biggest problem I have heard.

I'll send out a feedback form also to collect ideas and reasons.

I have been playing in odd hours being in afghanistan ... but have been playing, in every game theae days you will have your initial push or core people... then it will diminish, as a leader myself of soldiers i feel i can relate or give input on this subject. For an organization to continue to develop it requires the leaders to motivate people to accomplish things ... for kgb it would have to be more along the lines of .. what is it that people desire and how can the leadership push people. Also ranks will diminish.. but there are/ have been a lot of new players in the game.. everyday i see new people asking for help and guidance.. and everyday i have assisted the best way i could.. what does this mean to us? As a guild there are people out thwre to fill the ranks .. people that need upper echelon help to give guidance or help out with farming... if your a leader in kgb then imho you should be a DFUW community leader as well... you will find the peiple we need and dedicated players looking for a home.. all in all.. it takes people stepping up and doing leadership/mentoring people.. guiding new players and refilling the ranks.. at the same time finding out how we can motivate veterans to stay or to log on.
Practice raids
City demoliahing
Guild pve runs
KGB paladins rape session against high end guilds... this one is more motivating than most for the vets i believe... give those vets and good pvpers a mission.. find the best and fuck them up

Just my opinion

What do you think about weekly activity ultimatums to assess activity / dedication.
1. Weekly resource fee. This can be used to assist new playera and ensure a stock of basic itema are ready.

2. Raid status. Biweekly manditory raid. You miss more than 4 a month .. c ya. I duulnno.. just ideas.. i want to see everyone succeed. End state
