It would take an individual with that level of dedication in order to pull it off. Unfortunately, even with that, you're still going to lose people to burn out and the other two guilds. It would be a huge amount of work.
I think the problem with Red Dawn was you trying to do everything yourself. The two established guilds essentially self-recruit, since the average player knows who to turn to for whatever it is they are looking for post-50. A third guild needs a better division of labor that at LEAST includes an experienced leader AND a dedicated recruiting officer. I think you did a solid job recruiting for Red Dawn, but the weight of actually running and maintaining the guild was too much on top of finding bodies.

So Biaxil, if you want to put in the work building a 3rd guild it's a long road, but possible. If not, you know your good buddy Fawq is waiting for you in Azrael!
