Guild Wars 2

We are the Fort Aspenwood Vanguard [FAxV]
*A guild solely dedicated to the benefit of our home world within WvW
*Formed as of October 14, 2012
*English-speaking
*A guild focused on the greater good of all as opposed to some within our world
*Our guild is not intended to be a “leader” of the world, rather, work for the benefit of the world

We are newly formed as this is posted, so do bear with the poor thread format for now.
What we are: We are a home world-dedicated guild with a strong focus on WvW. Though we are new at this time, we hope to appeal to our fellow Fort Aspenwood players who are particularly interested in WvW. Our world needs more dedicated WvW guilds, and that is exactly what we intend to emphasize on.

How we function: FAxV has been formed under the ideal that strength as a group is key, while a decent strategy is the lock on the door to victory. We intend to aid our allies in need as we are able. No matter how much experience a player has with WvW, we hope to bring all current and future members together to work in unison for our world and all of it’s players. New players seeking to learn the ropes of WvW are welcome to this guild as we hope to bring more players out to fight for our world. Banners gained will be placed within WvW maps, and we will strive to maintain WvW Fort bonuses as necessary.

Membership Requirements: We are accepting any and all players who seek to join together for the sake of an organized WvW experience. We only seek mature players who are capable of working with large groups, preferably age 18+ . If you intend to be a hero apart from the rest of the guild, we likely aren’t the guild for you. Whether you’re well experienced in WvW, or you’ve never participated in such, we would love to have you. If you have real-world obligations (e.g. a job), fret not! We will not penalize our members for doing what they need to do in life; this is a game, games are entertainment, and you shouldn’t suffer for a guild’s benefit. We accept multi-guilding players. We do, however, expect our members to represent within WvW maps. Those who do not or never represent will be kicked. Any member who transfers out of Fort Aspenwood will be kicked without question.

What we need most!: Players who are well experienced in WvW and willing to teach new players to hold their own in WvW combat. We are not seeking glory for ourselves, rather, glory for the world as a whole. No matter what guild you are affiliated with, we could very well use your help for the benefit of our world.

Out-of-Game Communication and Resources: At this time we are experimenting to see whether the guild will take off. If we manage to successfully expand well enough, a ventrilo server, website, and any other necessary additions to our community network will be provided. Needless chances will not be taken unless we assure that our plan will take root. Our primary members do use Steam, thus members will be able to contact us outside of the game as needed now and as we expand our means of communication with the guild.

How the community can help!: We hope to see Fort Aspenwood become an even greater world than it is now. FA without a doubt has the potential to be more than we are with our competent Commanders, and tight-knit guilds. What we are lacking is unity as a world to focus on objectives in unison. As good as our players may be, we fail to work together strategically as a whole. The intention of this guild in particular is to do our part for the betterment of our home world in it’s entirety as we are able.
Any endorsements to aid us in our expansion would be absolutely appreciated. Any and all coin contributions from outside sources will be used only for influence or siege weaponry, if anyone is gracious enough and willing to help. All early funds will be used for influence, however.

I’m Haker, also known as Aroha In-Game. I’m currently a General in the guild, and helping out with recruitment. Just wanted to get some info about me out, and some more info on the guild, so that people get a better idea of the Guild Leaders and our current goals for the guild.

*Main Profession and Level: Mesmer – 73 (should be 80 in a week or so, working on alts)
*Typical Build/Play Style: DPS (Built for Condition on my Mesmer, usually build Power on alts. Wouldn’t mind going support if the situation demanded it)
*Time Zone: GMT -5:00
*Average Hours Played per Day: Depends on the day. If I’m not busy, I can go 10 straight. I usually do at least 3 though.
*WvW Experience: I’ve played WvW for maybe 20 hours out of my 190 total. I’ve gotten multiple levels on multiple characters, and I’m pretty familiar with how it works. I’m most familiar with the Eternal Battlegrounds, as that’s where I spend most of my time. I’m also pretty familiar with good ways to take points, good ways to properly defend certain areas, and strategies on Zerg fighting. I’m not experienced enough for a Commander title, but I could lead a small group to ward off enemies, help hold off an attack until reinforcements arrive, etc.

Our primary focus as a guild is to unite the people of Fort Aspenwood together, so that we can show the other servers that we have what it takes to join the top tiers of WvW. We’re tired of getting steamrolled. We know that our members are capable of greatness, they’ve shown it in the past. We have amazing commanders. We have amazing PvPers. We have what it takes to be number one. The only thing that we’re missing is organization. The reason that we aren’t on top is because we lack the proper leadership to get us there. We don’t need hundreds of players in a zerg to win. We could do it with 20 players and an amazing commander. That’s what we’re aiming for.

We don’t care what guild you’re in. We don’t care how much experience you have with WvW. All we care about is getting as many people together, and learning WvW, so that we can one day reign supreme. We’re not claiming to be the best of the best, but with the proper amount of teamwork and leadership, we can and will work up to be the best there is.

We were just created today, so we don’t have any upgrades, but we’re working on it as fast as possible. We’re accepting all recruits, you can either post here, send a mail/whisper to Ochenaid.1049 or Haker.5067, or chat with us or any other guild members you see in-game. It’s going to take some time to build up, but we have faith in the people of Fort Aspenwood, we can and we will dominate in WvW, all we need is people who are willing to join us.

Bump! Still recruiting

Daily bump. I’ll be logging in soon, and should be online for a few hours, so feel free to contact me if you’re interested!
