Finding new guild mates for WoW through the dating platform Tinder? It can work!
Those who want to maintain an active guild in World of Warcraft have a hard time these days. With the quick option of server transfers and the seemingly endless number of new games, guild members are often tempted to just try something else, and then you end up with inactive members in the guild roster.
But how do you find active members who are not just looking for a “short adventure”? The player Adam, better known as Arianord from the guild Aphelion, came up with something special to recruit new members. He simply created a profile for his guild on the dating platform Tinder. Anyone who stumbles upon his profile will be confronted with the following description (translated from English):
“Are you a powerful, wandering hero who loves to thwart the world destruction plans of mighty demons? Do you enjoy long walks on the Broken Shore, peaceful nights in Suramar, and spending weekends knee-deep in the corpses of your defeated enemies?
Then
“Swipe right for invite”
Anyone who “swipes right” will receive more information and may soon be the newest member of a guild.
Adam had a bit of hesitation at first about showing this marketing method to his girlfriend – after all, who wants to admit to their girlfriend that they created a Tinder profile? In the end, he told her, and since then they have been sorting through suitable candidates for exciting raid nights and “joint walks by the harbor of Suramar” together.
However, anyone hoping to catch this profile will have to travel far: the profile primarily appears in San Francisco.
How do you promote your guild? Have you ever had a funny idea to recruit new members? Or do you do it the classic way through a post in the forum?
