Elpedro, why do you only have 3 officers? Maybe that's part of the problem, in your guild. I was a officer in my old guild and I'm a officer in this 90+ guild. We have 90+ members and 15 officers. We certainly see a lot of coming of going but this guild seems to grow anyhow. I make a point to recruit every week - I still have a level 13 monk in pre-sear.
I started playing about 10 months and still love the game. I play a lot but haven't maxed out titles. etc., but I also have a lot of different characters to play, so boredom hasn't set in. Also, a lot had to do with the fact the core members of my old guild were active and played together a lot, and we discovered a lot of the game together and we used ventrilo.
Part of the problem is there are a lot of active people out there playing in really tiny guilds they don't want to give up. I was in a guild I helped set up, and I was getting frustrated at not being able to find people to do the more advanced areas with. We were invited to join a bigger alliance by a guild that has 90+ members and my guild declined
no matter how much I tried to convince them it would help us recruit and keep new members if we had more activity. So I left my old guild and joined this bigger guild which I love.
This new guild does organize events,although there does seem to be lack of interest, but it could be timing also. This guild and alliance is also pretty friendly and people are always doing runs of CoF and invite members to go for free. They do FoW and know those areas enough so we get to the end chests.
. (Now I know why they are rich)
I believe that there will be a slow decline because of a lack of new content for the long time players, and
really another year or two before GW2? EOTN is almost a year old already. However there are new players coming on all the time. If you have a guild/alliance that's willing to help them out some of those players are going to stick around. It helps to have a lot of officers that are willing to recruit at least once a week.

About 2 months after Eye of the North came out, my computer went *poof*, and I didn't play again until this month. I had been kicked out of my lame guild, and have joined a new lame guild that does nothing but ask each other for money. And now nobody farms FA or tombs anymore. NOBODY! It sucks. I ask people where everyone went, and they say "Domain of Anguish". So I go there, and can't even find a group going out without heroes. So I've spent the last two weeks trying for my vanquisher titles. Just me, my heroes, and my henchmen. I preferred doing FA and tombs over and over again with strangers. I really just want to farm FA and tombs all night (with people). But since that isn't an option, and I haven't found anywhere that people meet up to farm together, I don't think my second run in GW will be lasting too long.

LOL, looks like you just need a new and bigger guild.
Probably it's just that we're used to high standards in guild and having 90+ ppl and 80% daily online what we're used to and decrease in those % is something new - but i got used to it and now live with it, GW is not really what it used to be (same game, doesn't give same feeling anymore tho), so either keep active forum (that's what we do in GoDT, every member is required to register up on forum and check it at least weekly, makes it easier to keep in touch with ppl), exchange email with other core ppl, or consider a guild move to another game - we were considering a guild move to Aion when it's released to keep us busy till GW2, noone knows if we'll do it or not, just a suggestion
