I have a Republic guild on Kaas City server called Bayou Raiders. Honestly it's not much of a guild. Me, my son and every once in a while my wife are the only members.
I'd like to grow but keeping it for local Louisiana players will mean slow growth simply because it is hard coming across other local players.
For now it would be fun for playing PVE missions as a group but for serious PVP we will need a lot more Louisiana players to stumble across it.
