Looking for a bit of friendly advice
So, my once full and thriving guild has slowly been brought down to only 2-3 people who log in once in awhile besides my fiance and myself, and since I'm tired of looking at a guild roster full of, essentially, "dead bodies" I'm trying to decide what to do.
Option A:
Kick all the dead weight and carry on in the current guild. I'm Guild Master, so this would be incredibly easy to do, but it feels like it might be a little bit of a jerk move even though they have all moved on to "bigger and better" things and don't seem to have time to even acknowledge us via whispers anymore.
Option B:
Dump the GM position onto one of the "dead bodies" and toddle along to start our own guild fresh from level one. This option isn't all that appealing because it is a level 25 guild, most of that work having been done by 3 of the current members (myself, my fiance and our buddy whom we've known since we started playing the game), all the gold in the guild bank has been deposited by myself or my fiance (for the most part) and all the items in the guild bank were deposited by us (most everyone who left the guild took what they had contributed/wanted from the guild bank before they left behind an unwanted, unused alt to "keep in touch")
Option C:
Dump the GM position onto one of my low level alts and take my higher level characters elsewhere, whether it be to an already established guild or starting over in our own guild with a select few people who actually remember that we are friends.
Yes, I know this sounds very bitter, but I'm fed up. I used to rely on these people to keep me sane, we were very close friends, and now they've all just...disappeared. So, ladies, what would you do? Which option do you think sounds the least jerkish at this point? We've been in this situation for well over three months now, it's time for something to change. I can't take it anymore.
