How about putting some officcers in place that can also lead a raid and secondary tanks that can MT instances?

That's the thing. I wasn't the "Guild Leader" in the way that I made all the decisions. I found others in the guild that were on everyday, people that were excited about Mistwalkers and EQ2. I made them officers and leaders. These people also included THK. I promoted them BECAUSE I couldn't be around everyda and because I didn't have the time to devote to being the one and only leader. Now I don't know what else I could have done.

Problem was... Some of the officers/leaders couldn't get along. Later on other leaders and officers left due to these same differences. Then later on other officers/leaders left due to the perceived lack of things to do at 70. It was basically raid or mentor. So that left us with a guild watching it's leadership change form week to week from month to month. This added to the thought that we were a stepping stone guild, a place to level up before you could app to a real guild.

I don't like talking bad about people. I usually am the type of person that enjoys people and would go all out to make others have fun. That is the very reason I start these guilds. As a place people can join up, find groups, and MAYBE get organized enough to see some of the end game stuff. When we started having 20+ level 70s we started doing that. Of a bit, a month or so, we were raiding 3 times a week and things seemed great, then all of a sudden the interest dropped off.
