Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone! Want to be part of the craziest, yet most entertaining band of Gandara? Then this is the place to be! Recruitment video: Do it NOW!

The Old Boys [OB], a guild on the world Gandara, are looking for more members to join their ranks. Our guild is PvX-based, meaning we do not have a particular focus, but enjoy all activities, ranging from PvE, Story quests, Dungeons, Tournaments, WvW.
We’re also playing and unlocking Guild Missions (4 so far).
Our timezone = GMT – GMT+3

We are mainly casual players, although we have some hardcore players, who do play a lot more. The guild maintains a feeling of mutual friendship and cooperation. Every member is considered as an equal and has the possibility of climbing up through the ranks by dedication and skill. We try to get as much activity as possible and do not tolerate guild butterflies. We take both individual players and offers for merging.

- Missions: Guild missions award you 1-2 commendations, depending from the kind of mission, they also give you 2 rare items of your level and 50 silver for participation.
- Help: Our members help eachother, if you have questions or want help with that particularly hard quest just shout out and there’ll always be someone to help you out.
- Buffs: buffs are given through the week giving for example +10% magic find or +15% karma
- Fun: we also do fun events regularly: dungeons, fractals, world vs. world, spvp
- Social: our members like to chat while gaming, making jokes or telling what happened out there in harsh real life ( )
- Leadership: every member doing his best for the guild can become part of the leadership and earn the titles kingsman or brigadier
- Relax: we’re usually very relaxed and chill and will not force anyone to do things they don’t like, chill in front of the pc with your favourite drink.

1- Register on Enjin and apply on our site: http://oldboys.enjin.com/home
2- In-game: whisper one of us:

• Commander: Vestra Grey
• Brigadier: Bartholomew Roberts

Gandara was an isle in Elona, long before the awakening of dragons, called the Moon Fortress. This fortress lay just off the coast of Kourna and was ment as a last stronghold to ward off the feared Istani Sunspears. This didn’t bother these last at all and after laying waste to the proud Moon Fortress they invaded Kourna. Often, in war, only the victorious side is taken into account, but what about the brave men who stood on the battlements and kept off the Sunspear tides, what about switching the roles around?

The troops of Gandara relive this story of heroicism every day in the Eternal Battlegrounds. The Old Boys have taken their oath in defense of Gandara and they have been named as such because of their stern and hardened fighters, men and women alike, that would still bear a smile on their lips despite desperate odds. As a token we wear the Gandaran phoenix, who will rise from the ashes after 250 years of darkness.

We often fight forces that have 3 times our numbers, but we keep our watch atop our towers and keeps. We fight, we die. We’re Gandarans, in memory of the Warriors of Moon Isle. Join our ranks now and wave the phoenix banner high!

The guild has a core of about 60+ active players, a lot of them playing daily, others coming online on a weekly base. The ranks are as following:
—> Rank 1: Commander
—> Rank 2: Brigadier
—> Rank 3: Kingsman
—> Rank 4: Footman
—> Rank 5: Recruit

People who do not represent at all will get kicked: this measure is taken to reduce our guild to the core of players who are dedicated to the guild and the people in it.

The main target for us is to play the game as a group (not necessarily always, but a large part of the time) and have fun doing so! Therefore we do a lot of activities

WEEKLY

• [Wednesday]……………..Guild Rushes (6pm GMT)
• [Friday]……………………Fractal Fridays (all day)
• [Saturday]………………..Story Saturdays (all day)
• [Sunday]………………….Slaughter Sundays (all day)
• [Sunday]………………….Guild Bounties (6pm GMT)
• [Sunday]………………….Guild Treks (6pm GMT)
• [Week]……………………..Guild Challenge
• [Week]……………………..Forum Challenge (+ rewards!)

DAILY

• CoF/other dungeon speedruns
• World vs. World raids
• Dragons

• Structured Player vs. Player

Countdowns for these events are visible on our front page!

Yours sincerely!
The Old Boys [OB]

add me jiguur

I have a small group on Shiverpeaks looking for a larger guild to join, we don’t mind moving if we can find the right home.
I’m looking for a casual guild that runs dungeons/fractals regularly with a smattering of PVP thrown in for good measure. We also use Mumble and that would be preferable, what VOIP do you use?

Hey there Iron! We just started our ‘dungeon run plan’, meaning we will be running both fractals and other dungeons from next week on. We also do some WvW, but we don’t really have WvW events up yet. I believe we have a teamspeak/ventrillo server, but you might need to make some arrangements with Bartholomew Roberts in-game, cause I don’t have the right status at the moment to settle such matters. Thnx in advance!

Hi there Ironxxx.

I am Void or Bartholomew Roberts who Sirendor mentioned. We would gladly accept you and all of your friends.
We have access to multiple TS servers, but do not mind if you’d prefer to use your own.
We can offer you exactly what you are looking for, dungeons and pvp as and when you like. The guild is very social most of the time, even during the mid-week.

See you in game soon,
Void

New guild system changes in a while… If you feel like joining the Old Boys when these changes come, be sure to ask us an invite!

Hello, I am still fairly new casual gamer to this game and have a 36 necro so far. Since I don’t have a lot of time because of college.

I’ve been playing on different servers mostly on solo PvE for levels and WvW for fun.

Its been kinda boring so far except the WvW so i’m looking for a good group and server to play with. If you guys will have me, thank you !

We will have you, if you want that Be sure to check our site. I’ll send you an invite in-game.

Today is Fractal Friday!

If you are new to Fractals of the Mists, or an experienced treasure hunter, come join in with an evening of Fun Furious Fractals with The Old Boys!

Today is Story Saturday!

We are running all the story mode dungeons, one after the other. We are also grouping up members for various dungeons they may have missed, or other explorable modes they may want to farm! (Fractals included)

Come join in the fun!

I’d like to join! IGN is ‘Glaedr Bjartskular’

The more people, the more joy Join in with us!

Jumping puzzle action xD

Hi! Your guild looks like a great place to be and I’m interested in joining, but I am curious what timezone in NA you primarily play? I am on the West Coast with a family and real-life obligations, so mostly I can’t be on until after 8pm PST during the week and a few hours in the afternoon on weekends as well as evenings…

Thanks in advance for the reply!!

Hi HappyGirlWaving,
Thanks for getting in touch. We are not a NA guild and play on a EU server. However, if you can join us, you are more than welcome! I believe PST is GMT-9 hours. There is usually a decent amount of people online. We are busiest during weekends and evenings here, which I think is about 9am for you.
If you are looking for a NA guild, here is the NA forums. forum.guildwars2.com/

Thanks again,
Void

Haha, thanks, I realized after I posted that I had posted on a EU guild. Whoops!! Thanks for the reply

Hello!
I’d be interested to join your guild, seeing as the current one I’m in isn’t really active and yours looks to be perfect for someone who’s more of a casual gamer.
I’m just curious also to what time zone you guys are frequenting? I’m in GMT +1.

Sincerely,
Cree8ive

The timezone is indeed EU, I just approved your application. Have fun

Our guild house, while we wait for Guild Halls to come in a new update:

Adventuring Tyria on an unprecedented scale, we recently started exploring hidden zones, not using any of the maps that are known to this date but looking for places that seem reachable. Using tricks such as the Jump shot, Mesmer Portals, Teleport etc we manage to get into places we aren’t ment to get. Wanna adventure yourself, don’t wait any longer!

World vs. World fun

Hi there. Guild sounds great.

Me and my partner are looking for a new guild as the one we are in at the moment has lots of members but not much activity.

Can I try catch you in game one evening?

Hey Alex, sorry for not replying earlier, but we had a Guild Rush yesterday so didn’t notice forums ;p. I hope this is the guild for you, cause we don’t number 500 like some guilds do, but the people we have are mostly amazing, very helpful and active.

You can contact me in-game at Sirendor.1394 or you can send me a post on forums for further details.

More guild pictures of our adventures yesterday!

Cheers, will catch you in game soon

Joined for a guild bounty last night- went well and everyone seemed fun and polite

Do you guys take complete newcomers? I’m downloading the game atm. I’m in the UK. All I want is somewhere friendly and active.

Now with kick kitten VIDEO!

Hey Void, thanks for completely ignoring my post.

We do Carol, ignore Void, he’s ehh well Void…

kitten: a pretaste of how the Old Boy Back Banner will look!!!!!

Dropping out a renewal before the next update!
~~ Cause i’m shalalalalala…~~~

Hello ole’ chaps… and chappettes perhaps? Me and my brother from another mother has become slightly addicted to this game, running a week now. sPvP has been our main course so far but now we want to see what else this game has in store.

So we’d like to join your merry fellowship and have some fun!

As it unfortunately turns out we have a different home server, but we’re going out on a limb that if we delete all our characters and transfer we’ll have more fun anyways! We’ll do our best to locate one of your mentioned officers in-game!

Thanks for joining

If more people are interested in joining, just leave a message on this forum thread, contact us in-game or on our website!

Still looking for more people! We are hosting Guild Bounty tomorrow and maybe we’ll throw in a Guild Rush for great justice! We are currently doing a lot of SPvP, because of the fun of playing in a guild group and in custom arenas! World vs. World run this evening!
Greetings Vael-Sihur-Valdr-Allura

Guild bounty this evening (in 1-2 hours). Send a pm to Vestra Grey, Vael Ashstorm or Jaydhren. Thanks!

The Old Boys are founding a Neverwinter guild aswell! Want to be a founding member? Contact me @ enjin [http://oldboys.enjin.com/profile/2176538]

! new Updated our rank system! This goes with special titles on the site and possibly name effects.

Guild rush succesfully completed. Next guild event Sunday (Bounty + Trek)

Are you Old Boys really all boys? No girls allowed or what? lol.

Of course not, that would be madness. No, according to our leader “Old Boys” means “We are adults and not kids”. We have some girls

:) I’m on Gandara. A very high level 3 lol. What level would you advise I get to before thinking of joining yours or in general any guild?

Level doesn’t matter much for being in a guild, though you’ll probably miss out on the guild missions, cause these are situated mostly in level 50-80 areas. Though it is useful for being in a guild as a low-level just for the things more experienced players know and they can share with you.

It’s Fractal Friday…come and join the Old Boys, whether you new to Fractals of the Mist or experienced, for a fun evening of Fractals

Whisper me in-game: Jay Moonveil

Haven’t a clue what a fractal is lol.

It’s basically a dungeon instance where you get dropped into 3 random zones (out of 10+ choices). You can access it at any level and the more often you do it the higher the level of difficulty of the fractal is. It’s a lot of fun :p

I’m still deciding on a class atm. I’ve seen 2 guilds I’m interested in, yours and another for mature people, so going to watch both for a while

That’s alright You know you can have multiple guilds at the same time? Whisper Jay Moonveil or me in-game and we’ll send you an invite (though I’m not playing a lot atm cause I’m doing a lot of work for university).

New announcement: voip being fixed and new events upcoming (including nice prizes!).
