Guide:Creating a Group
From Hell Rising Wiki
Alright, so you're new to Hell Rising. What's the first thing you do to ensure safety and survival? Join a group of course. What if there's no group to your liking? What do you do? You start your own group of course!

[edit] Creating Your Group
The first thing you need to build a successful group is... members. If you're just starting out, try and get some of your friends to join the game with you, and create a double-led group. Maybe you joined at someone else's request? See if that someone will join your group (even if only temporarily) to help it get members. Having three people right from the get-go is a good way to start a group.
The next thing you want to do is set a goal for your group. This can be as simple as "KILL ALL T3H HOOMANZ!!!1!1" or as intricate as "Ensure the safety of Balley Police Department for future generations using nothing but scissors while playing as a zombie". Put a quick summary of this in your group's description box.
[edit] Advertising Your Group
Alright, so you've created your group. Now what? How do you get people to join it?
What you want to do is create a Wiki page to make your group stand out. To create a Wiki page for your group, type "Group:_______________" (put your group name where the ___'s are) and click "create this page". Type up a description of your group (remember, the better the page looks, the better the group looks). Next, go to the Groups page, find the appropriate section for your group, and add your link in the appropriate spot. This will help with advertising your group. If you need help with editing the Wiki, PM Rolf on Overlord Forums and he'll help you out.
Another way you can advertise your group is in the Hell Rising section of Overlord Forums. Create a graphic to display in your signature and/or avatar that advertises your group. Create a recruitment thread (although this may actually detract members from joining). Do things that will get your group noticed (in a good way).
[edit] Keeping Your Group Active
So now you have the members, you need to make sure they don't all go inactive on you. Hold events every so often, create inactivity rules, start wars with other groups, anything to keep your members interest. Following these steps, your group should gain a respectable amount of members.
