Thing is you trying to be apealing to the masses but you offering nothing appealing to lvl70's, at 70 the focus becomes epics and if you cant deliver epics you gonna loose players to guilds that can, if you focus on the lower lvl players now and build towards WOTLK in 6months you will have a guild worthy of something, im certain WOTLK will launch in at least 4months time, atm you are behind and catching up is not really an option, instead look ahead and get a head start next time round.

I'm not a GM, but have been incharge of recruitment for one guild for almost 6 years now. Personally I think its a problem with WoW. As much as I love the game, I've seen it destory many guilds that were around for 10 years prior to WoW. You need gear to do anything well and people get frustrated when they cant get it with their current guild, so they move over trying to find it somewhere else (and usually fail). We are dealing with a whole new mindset of gamers now days than 10 years ago
Two of the guilds I play with have been around since 1992 with a game called NWN and are still going. They are still around because people have to do quests from officers (ie: lead a raid on an enemy main city and hold a section for 20 min, kill X amount of L60+ players, etc) in order to become "full" members and usually a 3 month trial period. Many people freak out at that idea and leave right away. But thats the point and you end up saving yourself hassles later on. People who are prepared to stay through the trial period and complete the quests usually feel "special" and that are actually a part of the guild and not just another player.
Of course you need to have something that will make them want to stay and Diesel is right here. Getting L70 should be your first priority, From L66, it shouldn't take more than a week. Remember when BC came out the first L70's made it from L60 in 5 days. Now days it is much easier

Thx alot for all the input from every one.
Think your rigth dude i need to set a guild requirement of some sort
and give them like 2 weeks to do it if they want to stay in guild (make the once in the guild feel special lol)
I got this idea to weed out the trash from the good guildies gonne ask all to show me pvp trinket(insignia of the horde) one that you can get very
Early and is only 2800 honour and its very usefull.
To get that in 2 weeks is not so hard.
