And it all comes crumbling down...

So, your guild is going well, you have nice members and plenty for raids and even close recruitment!

Then... kapow, some one falls out, thinks your the Wrath of the Lich Bitch and everything seems a little bit in tatters.

As you may have guessed this is what happened to my guild this last month. I lost about 10/11 integral members in the space of one week. Including 4 of our top dps in the entire guild, A couple of fantastic tanks, healers you name it we lost it.

Same thing happened to you? Worried it will? 

Well before you cancel your account and throw your wireless mouse across the room take a little chill pill (( no i am not condoning drugs Ty)) relax and review.

OK so, you lost a few, you still have a guild right?  my answer at the time was a grunt and a 'guess so'. 

The best thing you can remember is that they obviously weren't that loyal in the first place and a good solid guild has a foundation of awesome people dedicated and willing to stick things out if a problem occurs.

The best thing that has happened this month would be the officers. They really clubbed together and are keeping things ticking along and making sure i retain that  last morsel of sanity. 

A new start and a new beginning. If the same thing happens to you why not freshen things up with ' a new coat of paint'

Host a tabard competition, to give your guildies a new look to be proud o, get some new blood in the officer chairs, why not get all your officers to make a new recruitment macro and hold a mini competition to see who's is best?

There are many things you can do to perk up a guild after a big loss, or after a while where you think is it all worth it?

My suggestion is rough it out, bitch about it in officer channel till they tell you to shut up, and generally keep going till you get your mojo back!
