An introduction thread where we can write a few things about ourselves and maybe a Skype group where we can chat more easily?

I don't know if I'd be up for a Skype group. It'd be too overwhelming for me tbh... but I do like the introduction thread idea though.

Either that, or you could create a newcomers forum where people have an opportunity to share their stories with depression & anxiety... or just to introduce something interesting about themselves. Then, people could be able to meet more friends or something. I feel like just having a thread would make it harder. Some people's post might get buried.

Also, what about a leave/return thread? This way, if something happens to come up in our lives, we can let the guild know we'll be away for a while. It help reduce worry for people here in wondering why someone isn't as active as they usually are.

yum_tea A couple ideas for some stuff to add:

Plenty fun activities like giveaways and raffles.
Lots of nice banners and images.

I get that. It's kinda hard to join in when you're new to a group, but I don't think it would be so bad since it won't be so active at first. I just think some other way to talk with each other would be nice to have.

I have another idea... what about having a place where people can get support if they need it? Like, if they are going through a hard time because of their depression/anxiety?

I really like all these suggestions! I will start a introduce yourself thread where people will be able to explain what they are going through. I think raffles and activities is too soon especially since we do not have a lot of members. People can use the spotlight forum to share what they are going through when they need attention or help.

I think another form of communication would be good. I think this guild is good but it doesn't appear that too many people are posting so far and I think if someone were posting and in need of help it could be easily missed since we won't know unless we are looking at guild page.

I think we need to find a way to come together as group

I agree with you 100% its hard because I want to get a private space where we can all chat like you can in towns, but I do not know how to make donations to the guild in order to buy a permanent space like that.

I just donated to the guild. I think we should be using something other than those town like chats though. It's very easy to miss out on what someone said since you have to be looking at it constantly and the chat log clears on its own sometimes. I think a Skype or Discord group would be best. Most people already have Skype so that's easy. If not that, Discord can be used in your browser, you don't have to download anything so that is pretty easy to get as well. Gaia just doesn't have the best ways to communicate with each other so it's best using something else. We'd still obviously use the guild, but if you really need to talk to someone then those other options would be good to have.

Here is the link to a skype group chat I created. We can see if this will work! I think this will help.

If you go to the guild's home page it will display the description and rules you gave. Right below that there's a box where we can enter the amount of gold to donate and right next to it your ask to enter your password to verify. I can help if your in need of donations. 3nodding
