How to Run a Multi-Game Gaming Community

The Multi-Game Challenge

More gaming communities than ever span multiple games. Your WoW guild might also play FFXIV, your Albion Online clan might jump into Throne and Liberty — and keeping everyone organized across these games is a real challenge.

Why Go Multi-Game?

• Player retention — When content droughts hit one game, players have somewhere to go
• Larger community — Cast a wider net for recruitment
• Stronger bonds — Playing multiple games together deepens friendships
• Revenue diversification — For communities that monetize, multiple games reduce risk

Key Strategies

1. One Community, Multiple Guilds

The most effective structure uses a single community umbrella with game-specific guilds underneath. Each guild has its own: - Roster and ranks - Events and schedules - DKP or loot tracking - Recruitment pipeline

2. Unified Communication

Keep one Discord server with game-specific channels. Shared spaces (general chat, voice, announcements) build cross-game connections.

3. Cross-Game Events

Host community-wide events that aren't tied to any specific game: - Movie nights - Community game tournaments - Social events and celebrations

4. Flexible Membership

Members should be able to participate in as many or as few games as they want. Don't penalize people for being active in only one game.

Platform Support
