Guild Wars 2

<Swords for Everyone> (Tarnished Coast) is a gaming community for individuals who suffer from social anxiety (or other similar social disorders). Our goal, as a group, is threefold:

1.) Offer members a safe place to play the game. We want to create a constructive environment that considers and understands the issues and needs of those with social anxiety. We seek to help individuals explore aspects of the game they have previously been unable to experience by giving them the means and tools they need to do so.
2.) Positively impact our members’ lives, provide them with a social outlet, and help them to develop and establish meaningful out-of-game relationships.
3.) Aid members in alleviating or improving some of their anxiety-related issues through activities and interaction both in-game and out.

We’re looking for individuals who want to be involved in a guild experience, who are interested in meeting new people and playing the game with others, and who are willing to try and step out of their comfort zone and help themselves. We’re looking for people who get nervous and sweaty entering queues or joining games, who have trouble with voice chat, who are afraid to even apply to guilds, but, most importantly, who want to try and change some of that.

We’re primarily interested in active players. Previous experience with the game is not required or expected— we’re happy to instruct and develop newcomers.

To apply, visit our website.

Very cool idea, even though I have my own guild but I wanted to say how great an idea this is and show my support for what you are attempting to accomplish. MMO’s are an excellent outlet for the folks you’re looking for and I wish you all the best!

I also already have a guild but wanted to say it’s a very cool thing you’re doing and I wish you the best of luck. I struggle with anxiety so I know those feels.

Kudos to you guys, it’s a very good idea. I suffer from anxiety, and while I can do things in game, mostly, as long as I’m sort of in control, there are a lot of times where that’s not possible. If I was in the NA region I’d certainly be looking into your guild more. Good luck.

Thanks for the support!

I think what you are doing is wonderful. I really hope the best to all in the guild.

Greetings Cantafrond,

Like others have stated I think this is a great idea, should you ever need anything give myself a tell. I run the guild Vanquish on Tarnished Coast. Feel free to say a hello anytime! Oakos.2417

Props! I am thrilled when I see guilds with a great reason behind their existence.

It had to be on Toast land =)

You just listed my mo :\ Really wish TC wasn’t full… I’ve been playing for a while now and have only talked to one person.. because they started talking to me first x_x
(pssst, if anyone knows of any other guilds like this on other servers, let me know please?)

What a fantastic idea! I, too, have my own guild, but if you need any help or an extra body to fill in, don’t hesitate to contact me. Best of luck to you!

What you are doing here is fantastic, I’ve had quite a few friends in the past who suffered from chronic social anxiety, I couldn’t imagine living like that with how “socially forward” today’s society is.

Bump for appreciation.
