Gehenna is an established PvX guild on the Ehmry Bay server, and is active in every aspect of the game. Our goal is to become one of the server’s premier guilds, a name that everyone knows, and the first guild you expect to see whenever our server scores a great victory in PvP or PvE. We are playing mostly in US timezones, but we are split pretty evenly between the east coast, west coast, and in between; we certainly aren’t limited to US players, and invite members from anywhere. We play virtually all hours of the day and night, between us, so most players probably won’t be lonely. And we invite players from all over the spectrum, from casual to hardcore and PvE to PvP (we’re not very big on RP). We are also a member guild of an alliance for our server (The United Guilds of Ehmry Bay) for WvW. We have a place for just about everyone. Most of our players are semi-hardcore or hardcore, which is the dominant playstyle of our guild, but we offer multiple levels of membership, including a casual option for members who just want a cool group to socialize with. Information about this is included on our website’s application form. Our mentality is one of quality over quantity, but at the same time we are trying to increase our numbers as much as possible with great players. We only have a couple requirements.
-Members should be mature. We don’t strictly have an 18+ requirement, but especially immature players, or loud and obnoxious kids will find themselves kicked out pretty quick. We expect that, in public chats, people will represent the guild well.
-On the other hand, you should be fairly laid back. We do not like to have a lot of draconian policies. For example, we don’t limit cursing in guild chat (although it gets old if it’s over the top), so people who are offended way too easily might not fit.
-Players should have a good sense of humor, but take the game seriously to a certain degree, too. Joking around in-game is great, but if we’re fighting bosses or something we do want to make sure they get done right.
-Just be friendly and we’ll all get along fine!
-Potential applicants should at least take a look at our guild’s policies, and agree to them before applying (link below).
Gehenna’s old-timers are mostly hardcore gamer types who have been gaming together in various venues for over 13 years. We have had a strong endgame presence in a couple different MMOs, especially FFXI and WoW, and several of us have now moved full-time to GW2. So there is definitely a place in Gehenna for hardcore gamers, the types who like to take on the toughest challenges a game has to offer. Our plan right now is to have regular guild events (hopefully the game will allow for us to do this on a regular schedule), where we tackle the most difficult PvE content available as a coordinated guild. We also want to have a strong presence in WvW and competitive PvP, so gamers with these interests will definitely be in good company.
At the same time, we want to encourage casual gamers to join up, as well. We don’t have attendance requirements, so players with busy lives can feel at home; most of us are pretty busy, ourselves, so we can definitely sympathize when real life has to take priority, and that’s just fine! We are really excited to bring in casual gamers who 1) want to get into the more hardcore aspects (we love to teach!) or 2) just want to stay casual. We’re always down to help out our guildies, so don’t be intimidated if you’re on the casual side; we want you, too! And our casual membership option allows members to join multiple guilds, if they wish.

Also, please take a quick look at our guild policies on the public section of our forum before applying. You don’t need to memorize them, just give them a once over to make sure everything sounds good.
We use Ventrilo. A mic is not required, but use of Ventrilo will be required for guild events, at least just to listen.
Any questions about our guild can be posted in our public forum, on the website, so don’t hesitate to drop in, say hello, and ask any questions you might have. Our forum is very active, and our community has been busy talking about various aspects of the game, discussing builds from the beta, mulling over WvW strategy, and contributing to the cementing of our guild’s policies and collective personality, since before the game’s launch. Even as a larger guild that is still growing, we have developed a good sense of community and friendship. We would love for you to come over and be a part of it. So if you like what you see, please fill out an application!
Thanks for reading, we hope to hear from you soon!
