Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I am a new player to this game and am looking to expand my experience. I bought this game when it first released but did not get into it due to my attention being spanned across a few other games. However, in the past month I have leveled up a toon to 80 and am looking to get more involved with what this game has to offer.

I reside on the Blackgate server and really enjoy the community there so far, at least I don’t see much “trolling” in general chat and many people help others in general chat, and hope to stay there. I came into this game with a friend, and he is in a guild currently, but I was hoping to find something on my own as he is comfortable there in a guild of 500+. I do not require the guild to be large, just that there is some activity going on guild wise whether it be dungeons, wvwvw, or whatever else this game can offer groups. I mean I did Super Adventure Box last night and had a blast but couldn’t help but think it would be a lot of fun with 4 other players I had some synergy with.

I don’t mind soloing most things and have done just that up until this point but decided I would try to find some others like myself. Maybe I’ll find some out there who are also new and looking to experience some dungeons and things like that. I’d be happy to work with others on learning/experiencing the dungeons but if there are some experienced players who are not hard on new comers I’d be up for those groups as well.

I’m trying to avoid any serious to hard-core guilds that take death in PvX to heart. I am also trying to avoid groups/guilds that look down upon working with new players. I do not want to log in to DRAMA. While I am a avid gamer and dedicated to the games I play, I don’t have much tolerance for ignorant players and actions towards others. Just looking for respectful players like myself.

I’m cool with 100% representation and don’t mind being on the mic if running group activities. I even have my own TS3 server so it’s whatever to me. I’m looking for an older/mature crowd that likes to have fun in game, basically what it comes down too. I am looking to run dungeons and the like in the end but will need to work with others to better prepare for successful runs. I currently play a Mesmer and will be focusing solely on this toon for quite some time.

I am 29 years old, work full time and am on most evenings and weekends. If interested in a player who has past raid experience, just not in this game, and can learn things once shown/taught/explained, then send me a PM. I look forward to joining up with a group out there to enjoy Guild Wars 2!

Cheers!

Aww too bad your on blackgate. You sound like the perfect sort for Forbidden. If you change your mind and want to consider transferring to another server lemme know

Good luck on your search and the guild you finally decide on will be lucky to have you

Thanks for the kind words. My situation is kind of 50-50 tbh. I came to this game with a few friends but I don’t really see us all syncing up to do much together except run some WvWvW on the weekends here and there. This is great and really what I was hoping for when I first told them to try the game. However, during the rest of the week it’s somewhat dormant as I have a little more free time than they do. I’d really like to balance both friends and guild activities for an overall fun experience.

Heck, it seems that server xfers have closed down except without a cost. (I think I remember, in the beginning, being able to go around a bit to see where one wanted to stay) I came back to experience this game once it had been out for a while only to see that I am on Blackgate for the long haul…at least for now I really thought I was on Darkhaven but it was months ago when I chose.

Again, thanks for your kind words and if I do decide to take it elsewhere, I’ll definitely consider your guild From searching through some posts, it appears you all are fairly democratic in your decisions on the guild and that is pretty cool. I see that you like to take the time to work with your members and that is very respectable.

I have received a few PMs and look forward to a few more before reaching out to contact a few potential guilds. Thanks to everyone who views this thread and takes the time to contact me.

I am of the mind set that although i am the leader, the guild would not be without its members. We are all important and play our part in making the guild what it is. This somewhat requires me to be a bit more strict on people keeping up with being active with the group (not in the hardcore must be there for certain events stuff but being active in being social on voicechat and on the forums). We have agreed we dont want a huge guild of members we dont know, but a smaller group of actual friends that really do enjoy spending time together.

Yes, where i do think its better for WvW that server transfers are no longer free, it does make it difficult when i find great people on other servers that i would love to have join the group. I wish influence would work cross server or that transfers were a little less pricey.

If you do consider it, keep in mind that we are on Yak’s Bend which is a high population server. Last i looked it up that was 1800 gems to transfer. Thats ALOT of money and i understand that. I will say tho that we chose from the beginning to be on Yak’s Bend and have been very happy here since. Pretty good community and some helpful players too. So if you can get past the initial cost, it could be a great place for you to be.

I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks again!
