What We Are
DA is a guild that prioritizes it’s members over numbers. We want a friendly community that’s devoted to each other, and is not necessarily bound to Guild Wars 2 itself. All of us play other games casually (BF3, LoL, etc.) If enough of us play something, we see where that can take us.
We seek players who want to truly get to know their guildmates. That means interaction outside of the game as well as in. We want members who are mature and friendly, and like to help fellow guildies. We also help each other get decked out in gear.
We primarily play PvE and run dungeons. We do a little WvWvW on the side, but it is currently not much of a focus. We like getting cool looking stuff. Armor sets, rare weapons, etc. We also enjoy leveling up alts for a different feel and perhaps a different look.
What we are not
We are not a “wal-mart” guild. We do not have, nor do we really want, hundreds of players in our roster. Getting to know everyone in the guild is a must, and we feel that once you’re getting close to 50 that starts to become problematic. Once we hit 50 active, unique individuals we will close recruitment and become invite-only.
We do not welcome “everybody.” You have to join our site and submit an application within 1 week of joining the guild ingame. We also do not want your interests to be divided between us and another group. The point is to become a very close-knit group that backs each other up. Everyone in the guild can recruit, so if you want more for WvW or want to start a PvP group, you can start inviting more players who are interested in that. Thus representing is an absolute requirement.
More Info
DA is modeled after “Ender’s Jeesh” from Ender’s Game (if you don’t know what that is, just google it or read the book.) They were extremely close, backed each other up, and most importantly understood each other. That said, all of our members are not Ender’s Game fans, so don’t feel like you’ll be left out. It was simply the original model we were basing ourselves off of.
Currently we are made up of around 9 active GW2 players, with around 15 members who play other things with us. We are very small, but then being large is not a goal.
How to join?
Add me to your friends list ingame (get on almost every day in the afternoon hours, EST), and let me know you’re interested. Or you can go ahead and join our forums at www.thedragonarmy.org and introduce yourself there. Then any of our officers can get you set up.
Keep in mind the following:
1. You are going to have to submit an application within the first 7 days of your having been invited to the guild ingame. Within that time you must also represent the guild.
2. We use mumble. We know some people prefer other voice options, but this is what we use. We expect you to use it, whether you have a mic or not.
3. Despite what you may be thinking, we’re actually lax to our members once they make it in after the evaluation period. We don’t have a hardcore activity policy, in that if you have to go overseas and won’t be able to play for a long time, are in the military and get shipped out, or whatever the case may be, we won’t penalize your membership for it. However, no “breaks from the guild” will be accepted, as that runs counter to what we’re aiming for. Communication is key.
4. Have fun. If you’re not having fun, then help us make things fun for you. We listen to every member and try to keep their interests in mind. Just remember that this sort of guild takes time to grow. Don’t join if you’re looking for instant gratification.
