Metal Sun aims to be a guild for all things Guild Wars 2, with no specific focus.
We have over 70 members and still trying to grow.
I’m trying to have enough players so that we do not favor a particular time-zone; with people logged in 24/7. Still a majority of our members are prime-time east-coast players.
The guild leader is a veteran of MMOG’s and PC games in general with over 20 years of personal experience. I believe in a principle called, ‘basic human dignity,’ which tells me that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I try to keep inter-personal drama to a minimum in our guild communications channels. I’m mostly retired in real-life so that I have lots of free-time to spend on my gaming hobby; I may be logged in during any hours of the day. It’s not unusual for me to be spending 12+ hours per day, even on weekdays, so in terms of play-time the GM is very hardcore.
We do have a Teamspeak3 server, we do not have 100% participation in voice comms, but I would like to see more people using it. With a potential member limit of 500, I believe that we have room for some of the more casual players, but of course we want see active members representing the guild. Registration at our website will insure that members who retire from the game will always have a guild to come back to, and it’s a requirement for promotion within the guild.
Our site at http://metalsun.guildlaunch.com hosts a forum and has a provision for members to list all their in-game characters. Currently we do not have guild members playing other games, the guild is focused on Guild Wars 2 only. Metal Sun has a long history in other games, and did exist in Guild Wars, however we did not retain any members to begin playing GW2 with us.
I have never been particularly skilled at PvP games, and my system specs are proabably not as good as they should be to do all that. I have at least tried some of the sPvP and I know that I can do well enough to earn Glory and rank, which is not saying very much.
If you’re more interested in PvP gameplay, then I hope that you’ll still be able to find a home within Metal Sun.
Most of our members are interested in End-Game content which includes the desire to acquire dungeon tokens. I’d like to recruit more members with the skills required to help us achieve these end-game goals. We are also interested in WvW and Badges of Honor, some of us are more focused on that aspect of the game, while most of our members are still working to reach level 80 with a main toon.
Also I have a personal interest in methods most useful in accumulating in-game gold; since Gold = Gems. I’m sure most of us would be happier players if we can get our Gems from within the game without spending our hard-earned dollars. Clearly it would be very helpful to have sums of coin available for the the gambling game which is the mystic forge, in any hope of acquiring those pre-cursor weapons.
So if your interest in Guild Wars 2 is long-term, and you want to experience all the content that the game has to offer, we have a place for you within Metal Sun.
