A friend and I are looking for a small guild. Our first guild fell apart due to people leaving the game. We tried big, and didn’t care for it. We hope to find a smaller guild environment where our contribution might matter more. We are currently on HoD, but would be willing to move to ET or FC during the free period (I’m currently unemployed, and money is an issue).
About us: we live on the US West Coast. My friend works in retail and his schedule is always up in the air. Some days, he can play for hours and hours, others he can barely do dailies. He likes dungeons, WvW and general PvE, and is not into sPvP. He has 3 80’s, thief, elementalist and ranger and tends to prefer glass cannons. I play somewhat more due to free time, though I do like to get out, so less time than some. I like open world PvE, DE temple events, dungeons, and might do WvW once in a great while. I have 5 80’s (no ranger, engineer or guardian) and tend to prefer more durable builds. Even my GC’s (thief and mesmer) are more ceramic than glass. We have 3 rl friends on HoD who might or might not be interested, so if you’re open to that, all the better. If we join a guild, it will be our only guild, and we will always represent — I’m kind of old fashioned and if I’m going to belong to something, I want to belong. We were both officers in a GW1 guild, and I was the healing coordinator in a smallish WoW guild.
About you: You want mature players who are even keel sorts, not inclined to produce drama. You want to include people. You prefer to remain at a manageable size, to preserve a sense of family/friends rather than the great anonymous mass that a large guild can be. Your guild name does not egregiously break the 4th Wall or display questionable taste.
About that last … we are live-and-let-live types. We don’t have any problems with people naming their characters or guilds what they want. We just prefer not to display a guild name that breaks what immersion we have or one which we are not proud to display. We hope this preference does not offend anyone.
Finally, if moving to FC or ET is in the cards, we’d prefer to move before the free move deadline. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks much for your time.
