After being part of After World for roughly a week I just want to update here saying it's a very positive experience.
It's hard finding Guilds this early prior to release that are as active. Khyber, the Guild Leader is doing a great job keeping and planning the guild together. A great and dedicated leader. If you're looking for fun, commitment and leadership in a guild, join After World! // Wuushu |

i hope you guys dont do zerg recruiting :P
seems to me you guys want to be elitist and you guys cant do that with inexperienced members in the guild. even though no one has really played the game yet. shrug. Waiting for: WAR,TCoS & Darkfall. |

I jumped on board with After World about 3 weeks ago and i have to say im impressed. A well organized Destruction guild with many active members. Our numbers are growing by the day and everyone ive talked to is polite and mature. Im very happy where im at and suggest you take a look at our site.

Over the past 3 days, alot of drama has surrounded this thread, accusations were made about the guild leader and its members, the thread was locked and members were banned. I just want to say that appologies have been made to After World by the MMORPG team and by the poster that made the accusations, the thread has been unlocked and the bans have been lifted. I appreciate the MMORPG team for looking into this matter with an open mind and verifying that the claims made about the guild were all false, as well as those claims about the guild members. It's unfortunate that the poster of these claims handled the situation as carelessly as he did rather than using the appropriate avenues supplied by Khyber to handle these types of issues. However, Khyber has suggested that we move on and put this ordeal behind us. I would also like to explain After Worlds recruiting method, because some people think we are trying to create a zerg guild and that is far from the truth. Our playerbase goal is to have enough active players in the guild to achieve anything the game has to offer, Khyber is not concerned with having the largest guild, he could care less about that, as a matter of fact he will be removing players that are inactive every week once in game, he cares about having an active guild, and a guild that accomplish any goal they seek to accomplish. Im sure all of you know that just because you invite 500 members to your guild, you dont have 500 active members in your guild, you get about 1 active member for every 10 you invite, so we are recruiting based on that, and we will be openly recruiting until the games release, at which time we will evaluate the guilds active playerbase and recruit as needed to get where we need to be. Right now we have 220 registered users on our forums, about 150 of those applied for membership, of those 150 we have about 30 active posters on the forums, so, we're not a zerg guild, we are just trying to meet our playerbase goals. Also, just in case someone asks, the reason Khyber hasnt removed the inactive posters from the forums is because he has decided to wait until closer to the games release to do so, he thinks (and I agree) that as the games release draws closer, more and more of those inactive members may come out and begin to show interest, which makes sense.

 Originally posted by jabipia Hey guys, just wanted to specify. The MMORPG.com staff reviewed the thread locking and decided that it was unwarranted to lock the thread. However, MMORPG.com has not verified that any claims are true or false, and remains neutral in this dispute as well as any other personal disputes on our website. Laura "Taera" Genender |

Well, thats completely understandable and we appreciate you making a statement to clarify your position on the dispute.
Back to After World We are improving the website design and it is looking pretty good I must say, were adding some functionaility to it as well as updating it from the May newsletter. Khyber as well as a couple of other members are preparing for a trip to Baltimore to attend gamesday there, so several stories, pictures and videos will be posted on the site in late June/early July from that event.

Every day After World grows as a community with new members signing up and new post being made on our forums. Personally After World has the most active forums I have ever seen in a guild, espesionally before the game is released

This thread was dead. Was there a reason you made a new account here so you could bump it by repeating something that your ZERG members have said 100 times here already? Don't call your ZERG a guild. It is an insult to people who actually know what a guild is.

Honestly, almost ALL guilds that are pre-beta or during beta are zerg, this one has higher standards, if you "zerg" and drop those people who aren't wanted after WAR comes out. I find that a smart idea...

Originally posted by BitayakaAnd from what I have seen, this is what the guild is doing. As someone previously mentioned before: The Game is not out yet. We do not know for sure who is "truly hardcore", and who is just saying that they're hardcore. Obviously, with 200+ Members, all saying that they're hardcore, you are going to have a few people who won't fit in. Because we don't really know these people personally, recruiting every single person you see, and then when the game comes out, and you know what people will contribute to the guild, picking those who fit in is usually a smart move. I feel ashamed not posting here before. But here I am now. I have joined this guild about 4 months ago. I originally found out about the guild from this thread, actually. I have gotten to know the members, and the guild as a whole. And I can say that this is everything I hoped it to be. There is a sense of community even though the game is 6 months until release.

Originally posted by Mentose You're an insult to humans, you just jumped into a thread after reading maybe the last 5 posts made in it and thought you were literate enough to give an opinion about it, you failed. I didn't make a new account, evident by the "OP" marked on all my posts, you must have missed that, failed again. We have about 30'ish active members on our forums, so where do you get "zerg guild" from, because we have 300 registered users? If you want a guild of 50 members, are you going to recruit 50 people and stop, if you did you would have about 5, maybe 6 people in your guild that were active. You obviously haven't played many games or been in many guilds, khyber and myslef have about 20 years of MMO experience combined, so I think we will stick with our recruiting plan, because we know how to build an organized guild. We will recruit until we reach our active playerbase goal, remove any inactives and recruit selectively after that as needed to maintain an active playerbase, you dont like it, too bad, dont join, you wouldnt make it anyway, because you fail. |

Mentose. Why do you even care what we do. If you want to talk about Afterworld you should have joined and got informed about who we are before you came and shot your mouth off. At the end of the day why do you even care if we are a "zerg guild" as you call us or not. Are you that lonely that you seek attention from people you don't know by talking about things you have no bases of information on?
How about you go your way and we'll go ours. Maybe your fine someone one day to give you that hug that you seek. |

My dearest Draconess,
AfterWorld recruits anyone and everyone. Need proof? OK! I AM (or was) a part of your guild. I applied under the name "Knuckeltrapz". I suggest you go to the recruitment section of your forum and look at my "application". It wasn't really an application per se, but more of a request for information about the guild. I specifically said that I was looking into several guids at several sites and that I was in NO HURRY to join a guild. Within minutes of posting, I was accepted into the guild and also given full access to the message boards. No one talked to me or gave me any information. I was immedietly accepted. I looked on your guild-only message boards, and the major topic of discussion was how many sites you could spam on to get more members.
Face facts. You're a zerg. You accept anyone that applies without even talking to them. At another website I got several people to apply to your guild as a joke, just to see if they were accepted. They ALL were.
If anyone doesn't believe me, just go to www.afterworldgaming.com forums, look under recruitment, and then scroll down to "Knuckelz Application". I got welcomed by at least a dozen people almost immedietly. Hurry, though, because I am sure they are going to delete the thread as soon as they find out how moronic it makes them look.
Have fun with your zerg. You fail.

So let me get this straight...You got a problem with us because we are not elitists? We fail in your eyes because we are willing to give people a shot at proving there place in the guild? Since you seem to have all the answers then how do you build a guild for a game that isn't even out yet? How do you choose who should get in and who shouldn't? How do you measure once worth? So what if we want to get the highest player base at release. The cold hard fact is that not everyone is going to like the game. Not everyone is going to like the side we picked. Not everyone is going to like each other. People will leave the guild for a hundred reasons. There is nothing wrong with building up a player base to have the best shot at building a guild with like minded people. Everything in life needs a strong foundation which we are trying to build. The fact that you want to attack us for doing this just seems kinda sad. The one thing that i would really like to know which you have failed to answer. What is your problem? You keep calling us a zerg guild but who cares. No one is forcing you to read anything by us. No one is forcing you to play on our server(when the game starts and we pick one) Hell if you want i'll even e-mail you the server when we know so you can avoid us or better yet roll order and play against us. The fact that you got other people to apply to our guild and we accepted them makes you giggle just speak volumes about your mental age/state.

Originally posted by Draconess FACT: Your guild invites anyone who applies without even talking to them first. I guess your goal is to invite 2000 people, and if you get lucky you will have 30 good members. You'll weed out the rest. FACT: You spam on numerous message boards. Now, I understand that many guilds make recruiting threads on various message boards. However, YOUR guild-mates actually bump these various threads by copying and pasting the same responses from one forum to another. FACT: Go look at other websites, like warhammeralliance and war-rvr, and I think you will see that different people call you a zerg. FACT: Nowhere in my post did I claim to be elitist. However, your guild has staked claims to be "elite" several times in this thread alone. The game isn't out yet. Who do you think you're fooling? FACT: Most of your guild-mates were banned from here for spamming. FACT: Kyber seems like a decent guy. He just needs to surround himself with decent people. You guys ARE the joke of the community, and you're too numb to even realize it. |

Man... gotta love flamers. First of all, by flaming our guild you, sir, just wasting your time. Yes, it is a fact that the game isn't out yet, and we can't exactly claim to be amazing but neither can any other guild currently recruiting out here or any other website. It's simply a word that grabs people's attention. No one would want to join just a guild with a pretty name, they want a guild thats different from the rest... its called marketing. Second of all, congratulations on your experiment. It was a success. We are, indeed, a friendly guild thats focusing on building a strong community right now so that by the time the game is released, we could start actively get involved in RvR without having to go through the "organizational" phase. I don't know about you but I much rather play a game with people that I got a chance to know beforehand, instead of joining a random guild at release just to find it filled with immature kids or elitist jerks. And thus we do open recruiting because as other members of AW already stated - not everyone registering is actually an active member. We have about 30-40 active members, and those are the ones that might stick with us at the release. So, Mr. Flaming Troll, please stick to your own business. -HeXeL- , a proud member of After World. |

Gotta disagree with you about how many active members you have. When so many people participate on your forums as a joke, I think you're overestimating.
