One thing I have learned while recruiting for my guild, Equestria, is that iRO has a very healthy incoming population of newbies who have nowhere else to go. I've probably spent less than an hour or two recruiting and filled up a level 17 guild. even after i took down my recruiting chat, people were still PMing me for invites.
People want to play iRO, but the lack of newbie guilds for them to join is probably a letdown for many.
If anyone wants to start a guild and doesn't mind helping out newbies a little, I highly recommend it. Set up a recruiting chat in Izlude and you'll have a full guild in no time!
