If the thread title seems a little cryptic, let me explain. I play from India. This means that no matter what region or server I choose, I am always out of the primetime for those regions. I am 2.5 – 4.5 hours behind Australia, 3.5 – 4.5 hours ahead of Europe, 9.5 – 12.5 hours ahead of the US. This means that generally speaking there aren’t a lot of people playing the game when I log on in the evenings my time (UTC/GMT +5.5).

And here’s the dilemma, I like playing WvWvW. If you have played Wv3 a lot, you know that the fun factor of playing in a small or large group that has co-ordination and good leadership, and playing solo is vastly in favour of the former.

So my question is that are there any guilds out there that are looking for more players to fill up their off-peak Wv3 squads? I think I must also mention that I’m not really looking for huge, cutting-edge progression/hardcore guilds…since I am a working adult who is 30 years old, I sometimes do not have the time to plonk down in front of the computer for 5 hours straight everyday (oh how I miss those days :P). I’m also not strictly Wv3 focused to the exclusion of everything else; I like PvE as well, especially this game’s focus on exploration…even though I am 80, I still haven’t been to Orr since I want to complete every 1-79 zone in the game before going there which is why I am still exploring the low-level zones at this time.

So, is there a guild out there looking for a player in my position? Or am I boned and am relegated to running Wv3 as a solo player cog in a zerg machine?

P.S: I use the Battleping tunneling service to play the game and for some reason it doesn’t matter if I play on an EU server or a NA server, my latency is always around the same (190-200). How Anet has pulled this off is beyond me…it’s witchcraft I say!

Hey there ! I’m playing from Sri Lanka, and was wondering the same about the latency being the same for both regions. It seems that we’re routed through US data center regardless of the server region we’re playing. I’m on server gates of madness with a couple of friends. So add me if you’d like, perhaps we could try find a way around the time zone dilemma

I can’t really help you with the players from your timezone, however, we wouldn’t turn you away. If you want to join a small casual guild on Yak’s Bend and help recruit people from your region, we’d be happy to give you a home.

If you’re interested checkout our webpage and let us know.
