Go to a quiet server, buy the BoE's out cheap and then move. If you're bothered about money.

That is what I do, but you need to realize that is gona cost you a server transfer a month, plus maintaining toons over there to check the ah. Hell some months I have to bring over 2 or more toons and all I support is 29's.

uhh what? why wouldn't you want a server with a large number of twinks to recruit from. You really expect to get a guild going on a server that doesn't twink? Also there's no need to transfer that often. BH almost always has all the gear you could ever need in the ah, it may be a little more expensive than on a dead realm but it's more likely to actually be there because of how high the population of BH is. On my original server (khadgar) the auction house sucks so much there are never any glowing magical bracers, never any shadowfangs, never even seen a gshroud on the ah there, but those items are ALWAYS on the BH auction house. And on the off chance there is something good in the AH it's just as expensive as it would be on BH. Gold is so cheap right now you'd be better off buying 30 dollars of gold on bh and buying all the gear you want than buying all the gear on a different server and transferring a character there. BH clearly has the largest twink community of all US servers so i don't see why you wouldn't want to make a twink guild there where you don't have to recruit everyone to twinking, just your guild. Do whatever you want, i just don't see the logic in transferring a character all the time instead of paying way less money to get the gold needed for all the gear on BH.

There are any number of high pop servers that HAVE all the gear in the ah for peanuts and few if any twink guilds. That is where I would make a twink guild in this day and age.
Im talking about servers where gargoyles byte enduring cap glowing magical bracers etc can all be had for 20g regularly.

If you don't want to spend lots of gold you could roll on a pretty active server with a good ah and buy up all the twink items at around 1/4 of bleeding hollow costs and xfer. If you don't want to do that, starting a new guild on a realm like tichondrious or one of the main pvp servers would be alright

my point was that most low pop servers literally don't have those items on the ah most of the time and most of the people who put it up have some idea what it's worth to twinks. My other main point was that it'll be a significant challenge to start a twink guild on any server besides BH especially if you aren't already established in the community. BH has the biggest twinking community of any server on us making the pool of potential players to recruit from much larger than any other server. I just don't think this guy should put in a whole lot of time and potentially irl money just to have an unsuccessful twink guild on a dead server. Like i said before do whatever you want i just thought you might want to see what your options are and you should know what server twinks are actually on. Also with gold being like 30 cents for 1k on BH it might literally be cheaper to buy gold instead of server transfer a bunch.

I never said make it on a dead server, but here s the thing about rolling on bleeding hollow, aside from the insane cost of twink gear, what sets your guild apart from the mountain of other twinking guilds?
Above and beyond the logistics you NEED a hardcore core for your guild just to start 5-10 people who are playing their tinks almost every night, once you have that you will find its much easier to get people to join you.

My opinion on this matter should carry some weight.

If you're actually active you would be set apart from all the other twink guilds on BH pretty much none of them are active for 29s and 19s are not popping so those have little activity now as well. The main reason i suggested BH is that i see 19, 29, 39 and 70 twinks ALL day every day outside in durotar so it would be extremely easy to find that 5-10 people to actually build up your community with instead of trying to recruit people who probably have 0 interest in twinking. BH is pretty much the twink hub of the united states servers so even spamming in trade might yield some results where on most servers no one would give you the time of day.
To Kusanagi I'd seriously suggest making it on a pvp server since a lot of twinks enjoy world pvp which is much harder to do on a pve server and leveling on a pvp server is really a non-issue nowadays especially with dungeons but do whatever you'd like man and good luck with it.

Like I said I would never start a guild on Bleeding hollow.
If I was going to reboot today I would find the highest population pvp server that did NOT have an active twinking community.

It's interesting that you say that, after I transfer to bleeding hollow SCC is going to set up sister guilds like that on other servers, an officer from SCC would be the GM of their own respective guild. The point of this would be to help grow and connect the community.
