I'm also much more busy then when I first started playing, I can only play a few hours a week at best, so managing a guild and having it grow is near impossible. Combining these 2 factors together makes this nearly impossibe to avoid. Instead of having someone else take over the guild, Zatrox (one of our officers) has created his own guild which most of the active Nakama members are migrating to. The guild is named Vahlse and you can get to it here:
http://vahlse.osayidan.net.
The old Nakama forums have been converted to the Vahlse forums. If you were a nakama member and moved to vahlse, you don't need to make a new account. If you did not go to vahlse, and you had a few posts and seemed active on the forums, your account is still there but does not have access to the vahlse guild stuff, only the general discussions areas.
It's been about a month now since the guild error happened and no progress has been made, so I officially give up. In the future if Nexon improves things, I might reopen the guild to the public. For now, no one is able to join unless both myself (Chise/Osayidan) and Peaness (Fran) agree.
The way Nakama is being run now is basically just a 2 person guild (Chise and Peaness), along with any members who want to stay. There will not be any sort of active recruiting, no events, no special guild stuff like runs or gatherings. Basically just a convenient way to chat.
What is going to happen with the current members of Nakama is as follows: You will be sent a note in-game asking if you'd like to remain in the guild despite the above, if yes, you won't be kicked out. If no, and you're waiting to get into Vahlse, you can do that. If you don't want to stay at all you can leave on your own or wait until I boot out everyone who didn't reply to the note
