Applications have been pouring in over the last four weeks. In fact, we've received 6 alone this week already and 7 in the few weeks prior to that. Of the 13 applications, 6 have already been accepted, with a potential seventh pending. We've already seen four of those people arrive in the last week.
Seven new people in a month is a lot of people to absorb and it will be difficult for us because of our small size. As such, any applications received after the pending one a day or two ago have now been rejected because we're full. The site's application form is closed until December or January.
There is such a thing as being too popular! You may wonder why we close the application process. It's because if too many new people come in at a time, it's very difficult to maintain the guild's atmosphere and traditions, as a large number of people will obviously be unfamiliar with them. In addition, it's difficult to find mentors for large numbers of new people and to provide support in the forum of adventuring with them, etc. We've learned this lesson in the past the hard way.
