Invites on Republic Side
Please don't think I am whining or complaining and I am just using a sampling from today, a weekend day, thus a higher pop time .. we have had 4 in the span of 4 hours looking for invites. 1 that is captain rank trying to get a toon into guild, one that was sos who the captain did get into the guild, then another trying to get alt into guild, and lastly new member inquiries.
I know that officers cannot possibly be around all the time they have lives and all that and the ones I see over exert themselves to handle as much as possible .. but of late since I been playing republic side .. there is almost never an officer on .. sure I see zeph come in at various times, and linda et al, and I know that it is completely unrealistic to expect officer coverage to be more than a few hours a day ....
What I would like to suggest is a specific recruiting/alt invite time to occur perhaps I dunno once a day on saturdays maybe once on sundays ... and maybe 2 times mid week? .... not everyone would play at these specific times of course .. but officer volunteers and a listing of those times would sure help folks get tagged ... then of course the randoms could just ask in the /kos channel and pray during any other time which is now how it is. I think this would lead to a more organized feel. I think also posting a tagging schedule on the gettin started area of this information would help some of the frustration I myself felt a couple months ago ... its hit or miss on getting tagged into a guild you really want to join.
With a scheduled tagging event .. then perhaps a "I play at odd hours how can I get tagged thread" .. I think we can get active players into the game without asking more of our officers.
While the subject was invites on republic side I am sure this would help empire side as well but I have been neglecting my account on that side .. but I am sure it may be a similar situation and if not .. well then what is that side doing different than republic? and will this help either neither or is just plain silly!
thanks

PS also many times members get inquiries about folks asking about guild and ask in guild chat what to do .. since no officer what I say is direct to website tell them to go to welcome center .. then getting started .. but even having a sticky or part of welcome center saying that to train our current members on how to deal with recruits is another helpful thing we can do .. and maybe it is there somewhere and my eyes glazed over it .. so maybe a refresher pop up for guild during login for a bit would be good.
