I was just curious which guilds still even exist

[Maly]

Maybe it's time to add npc raiders to fill up spots :P

if everyone spent as much time trying to get a friend joining the game as they did here moaning about how bad it is, this game would have a lot more players.. that said I dont think its such a big problem these days, plenty of peeps who wanna raid.
Also, if you see a guild spamming global it doesnt automaticly mean it is for lack of players, a guild need to spam actively from time to time to bring in some new blood, the more the merrier ;-)

Dear Funcom,

Please make more population and more people do raids.

Also, bring back some guilds I think may not be active but may be.

Sincerely,

Sugar

You really don't need to be a jerk and its really not constructive, I do understand that the game is having problems, I have no delusions that most of these folks are not coming back. What I would like to see is how wide spread the problem is and if funcom can do anything to help retain the player base that we have.

Band of brothers is no more few of them still left though, playing in coe.

I believe their guild city is probably still up but it must be playing a nostalgic/symbolic role rather ran anything else.

Ataxia is gone, the dude running and disbanding ataxia made fatgoats and it's also rushing down a slippery slope again it seems.

AoE is loosing members fast it seems.

And yea RN not on its prime anymore struggling with emperor and whatnot.

That's all I know so far.

Raiding isn't very exciting, and to do an AoC raid it requires 24 people with hours of time to complete the raid, sometimes needing to go into different nights out of the week to complete it. Not very appealing when you can play different games and get instant action.

That's not the problem with AoC raiding, the problem with AoC raiding is that it's so far been 2 yrs 2 months since T4. T5 should have been released a year ago and if it had been, I'm fairly confident many of the guilds on the above list would not have folded and the game population would be much healthier as many players in those guilds would still be playing.

To the best of my knowledge Mistwolves is no longer raiding.

Many would have stayed had their been some new end game stuff to do. Lvl 50 zones and raids 'perceived' as harder than t4 but with worse loot didn't cut it. Surprising huh?

(Sidenote: I was surprised that so few were interested in the turan and the unchained dungeons - they are quite fun. But t4 gear killed off interest. Since the merge, I pug them all the time. The Euro's seem far more keen to do 6mans than was ever the case on the old US server).

Yes it is sad Sugar, AOC was hopping before ESO came out, then it was a ghost town, I knew ESO would take some players but not this many.

With our luck, Funcom would have us buy them from the item shop.....

i tried and failed

aoc has many downsides:

-hacks

-downie classes and abilities

-retarded grind

-little sense in being competitive in pvp

-and ultimately low pop

with last update FC is checking off some weeknesses, yet isnt marketing them (wtf)
