    Faction Recruitment Strategies

    Ok so I've created a thread in the Faction Recruitment sub forum and have been posting on random player walls within the game.
    It's all bit hit and miss, but mostly miss.

    There must be a more effective way of recruiting.

    Has anyone got any good strategies for recruiting players that they're willing to share?

    But it took me minutes to write that!

    Is that how you recruit? By engaging in this forum and use your signature as your advertisement? Does it yield many results?

    It's marketing... does marketing work? Sometimes! Only one way to find out

    I am sure you will get more interest but will they be the right players you are looking for... now that's a different question!

    So basically everyone does the same stuff.

    As you say even if you get some interest you've no idea if it's the right player.

    So a life of copy and paste it is then

    It really is hit and miss although I've got a good group of players.

    We did do reasonably well in BFB. I think 75th was a good finish out of 10k, although it's not quite top 20

    We've got a good bunch too, we're just trying to expand.

    So just post your event ranking and bonuses on peoples walls and on your sig as well as the sub forum?

    No-ones doing anything different then. That's good to know.

    You need a cool name like The Bravehearts of Scotland.

    The recruitment thread does work, or you could post true life stories.

    we placed 59th. we booted 8-10 of 38 the moment the event ended.

    One of our regular guys was friendly with someone from another faction.

    That faction had all sorts of internal issues, we ended up taking 6-8 of that factions most active players.

    They knew people as well, so they left messages for them.

    We picked up 4 more (after booting a few more inactives)...

    We've grown through word of mouth, and ****ty leadership in other factions.

    Hasnt had anything to do with bonuses... although once they've gotten in they've been surprised how well bonused we are.

    While we'll never be a top 10 faction (not enough heavy gold players), we feel we'll move up from 59th in greenland.. hoping for 25.. but you never know.


    No sig required.

    So we've got:
    • Create a good message, including faction ranking and bonuses
    • Post the message on everyone's wall you come across
    • Add the message to your signature
    • Create a thread in the sub forum for faction recruitment and add the message there
    • Make sure your faction has a good name
    • and finally post stories like "the first film that made me cry was..."


    or

    It's not what you know it's who you know

    Have I missed anything else?

    best way to recruit place really well in events. after each event you have people coming to you.

    besides that i think brave heart's real life story thread was pretty awesome

    That's pretty much it. It's all about selling it.
    Of course, just because you attract lots of players doesn't mean you'll attract lots of good ones. We get lots of crappy applicants daily, as I'm sure lots of factions do. And some that seem like they will be a good member end up being crappy and the search continues.
