Guild Wars 2

Thanks for checking

I quit the game awhile ago (around Halloween, I think) when all my friends stopped playing, but I’m back and enjoying it as much as before. I think I would enjoy it even more if I had a consistent group of people to play with and to explain some of the newer stuff to me.

I’m looking to join a semi-casual guild on a semi-high populated server. I’m not super picky about the server, but I would probably prefer to stay out of Tier 1, and I’d definitely prefer to not be on a server that loses every week in WvWvW (I don’t mind losing, but I don’t want to feel like anything I do there isn’t helping the cause).

The perfect guild for me would be relatively small – every guild I’ve been in previous games has had under 50 people. I realize this is not realistic for Guild Wars 2, as I see “small” guilds advertising around 100 people. Still, I like a smaller group of people that enjoy each other’s company over a guild that is basically a chat room where you only recognize half the people.

I am interested in PvE, but mostly as a way to get better looking gear (and better gear for WvW). I do enjoy the dungeons, so I’m always willing to run them. However, I really enjoy the PvP in this game. I’d love to find a guild that does some semi-organized WvW (more spur of the moment than “every Tuesday at 9:00 PM we do WvW, and that’s the only time we do it” type of thing, but I’m also okay with set schedules for larger groups). I doubt I’d do well in a pure WvW guild, as I’m not dedicated enough for something like that, as much as I enjoy it

I also enjoy the sPvP and would love to be on a team that does some tournaments, but that doesn’t necessarily need to be guild focused.

I love jump puzzles with all my heart, and am always willing to do them, but I’m fine doing them solo as well.

Unfortunately, I feel way out of the loop now. I don’t know anything about Fractals, the Super Awesome Box (or whatever it’s called), etc. I know some of the original dungeons, but that’s about it. I’d love for a guild that doesn’t mind refreshing me on some of the older stuff and explaining/helping out with some of the newer stuff.

I don’t consider myself “good” at this game, but I definitely wouldn’t consider myself “bad” either. Before I quit, I think I was pretty good and usually am at least competent in the majority of games I play (except RTS games… man I am awful at those). My point is mostly that you may have to show me the ropes a little bit, but I’m not a liability.

I do have a guild in mind, but it’s on a server that appears to have recently had a fairly mass exodus of guilds and I’m afraid the server will die out, especially in WvW. I’m just keeping my options open right now!

I’m currently on Sea of Sorrows, but definitely willing to transfer for the right guild.

If you think your guild would be a good fit, please respond here or contact me in game!

PS Sorry for the wall of text, but I am pretty picky when it comes to people I hope to be playing with for an extended period of time

Edit:
I should also mention, I prefer doing a full dungeon clear to speed runs. I’m fine with speed runs if one person just needs some tokens, but when I do a dungeon, I would almost always prefer to clear everything and not just run by things that are in our way. I also refuse to exploit to skip stuff. I remember CoF being notorious for this, and I only ran it once because I couldn’t find a group that wouldn’t use the exploit :\

Second Edit:
I live in California, so I play during Pacific primetime (usually somewhere between 6:00 PM and 2:00 AM Pacific time). I work from home, so I occasionally jump on during the day when I’m not busy, but usually just to do a sPvP match or two.

Check us out emerald-fang.com We are on Sea of Sorrows so you won’t have to transfer. We are always looking for more WvW focused players that dabble in dungeons JPs etc. We have a events calendar which helps us keep things organized for guild missions and wvw which you can check out at emerald-fang.com/events. Hope to hear from you.

Cheers

Just a FYI if you going off the website numbers they are off. We don’t clean the site off inactive users in case they want to come back. Easier to get in touch. In game we have average 60 players on throughout the day with peak of 40 NA during weekend. Goodluck with search.

Saftybelt,

Have I got a guild for you!

I appreciate the wall of text, I like knowing how someone thinks and what they are truly looking for in a guild. I would love to talk to you and see if we would be a the “one” for you.

The guild is Hedonism and we are on the Ferguson’s Crossing server.
We currently have about 29 people in our guild and I plan to keep us on the small side. What the final number is, I’m not sure, it depends on how many stay active and what hours people play. The most important thing for us the atmosphere.

The people who joined us do so because they are looking for what you are, a place they can play where they can get to know their fellow guildies and play in an environment that is fun and free of chest pounding and rage quits.

A great example of us in a dungeon; we had trouble with AC after they retooled it and we spent two nights working the problems rather than looking it up or searching for “cheats”. We aren’t perfect there yet, but we keep plugging away and we keep learning more about it and earning our progress. In HotW we four manned the entire dungeon and spent an hour on the last boss because we knew we could do it with only us four, we just wanted to prove it and we didn’t give up until we took him and his pet down.

That should give you an idea of the attitude we have toward the game. We work the problems, not our mouths. We try anything we think will work and no one looses their cool.

As far as WvW goes, we used to be on the bottom a lot. We were in a bracket with another server that was way above our (and the other server we were placed with) abilities/resources. We have since had the balance restored and while we still spend some time in third, it seems to be a much more even playing field and, we were in second place several times this weekend (I didn’t check in today to see where we were). I think as word spreads that things have been fixed, more people will join in and you’ll see a lot more effort going into WvW from our server as a whole.

If you’re still reading, thank you, I can give great “Wall of Text” with the best of them apparently. If you are indeed still reading and are interested, please visit our web site and check out the two posts in the Information Section on the Home page http://hedo.guildportal.com

From what you wrote, if our WvW situation is acceptable to you, I feel like you’d really enjoy our guild and get a lot out of it. If you have any questions for me I’d be happy to chat, I am on a semi-vacation so the easiest way to reach me is here or on our web site, if you catch me in game my handle is myenchantedlife.3729

I wish you the best of luck wherever you call home!

Thanks for your time,

Hi Safetybelt,

The name of our guild is Just Us Grown Ups or [JUGs] and, if you’re older than 25, we could be just the guild you’re looking for.

We are a very friendly, very casual adult guild who value community above anything else. Everyone in the guild has a great relationship with each other and people are always helping each other out—provided they have the free time..

We are a small—but growing (over 75 members)—guild catering to the 30+ crowd. We are very laid back and just want to game, hang out and avoid drama.Because we place such a high value on community, we will no longer be actively recruiting once we reach 100 members.

Our guild does have an age requirement in place to keep the environment mature; almost all of our members are men and women between the ages of 30-65. We do allow people 25-30 to join but they must fill out an application via our website.

We are primarily a PvE guild but some of us also jump into the WvW realms every now and then.

Our guild is happy to take in members, regardless of experience level. If you want to learn, we’ll answer your questions; if you have knowledge to pass on, we’ll listen.

We’re small at the moment, but have been averaging about two new players a day. To be honest, I’d prefer a small guild full of tight-knit members as opposed to a large guild that’s basically comprised of small cliques.

The guild is run with a ‘hands-off’ approach and most matters in the guild are handled by vote. We don’t make demands or requirements other that you have a good time when you’re with us.

In our opinion, a guild’s success is not due to its accomplishments, but of how much people enjoy being a part of it.

All of us have real lives that come first and no one’s going to pressure you in any way to spend more time with the guild than you can.

I created the guild so there would be a good gaming environment free of the tension and drama of the hardcore guilds which are usually comprised of younger players.

We’re on the Jade Quarry server so a transfer, unfortunately, would be necessary if you’d like to join us. You can, however, feel free to try us out as a guest. You could join our guild, share in our guild chat channel, run dungeons with us, talk to us on our Ventrilo server, and see what we’re like—the only thing you wouldn’t be able to do is participate in WvW combat with us. It’s like ‘leasing with the option to buy.’

We have both Ventrilo and Mumble voice servers. We also have a feature-rich website where you can create and co-ordinate events that other members can sign up for.

If you’re interested, you can fill out an application on our site: http://jugs-guild.com or, if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message through these forums.

Good luck in finding a guild!

P.S. Here is our recruiting post on these forums.

Hey! I truly think you would enjoy our guild. Yes, we have 100 members but we normally have no more than 30 on at a time. We feel like a family—we recruit slowly but surely, interviewing everyone and making sure they will thrive in our environment. We call people by their first name. We know their real life situations, etc. We have the people to be active, but we have the personality of a smaller guild.

We don’t care if you’re an expert or a novice—we have skilled players that will certainly guide your way. We do lots of everything! Tournaments two times a week, WvW scattered throughout, and PvE all the time. We aren’t partial to speed runs or full clears—it’s whatever the group wants. No one is too stubborn in Tonic Oh, we do missions (bounty, trek, and rush) as well as jumping puzzles weekly!

Oh, we have people on all day but our prime is probably closer to Pacific.

Check us out, I think you’d really like us:
