Who We Are
We are a PvX guild with a pride in respecting others, no matter their play style or play level. We also are tight knit and enjoy getting to know one another through activities such as Dungeons, WvW, Fractals, sPvP, or partying up in PvE to do Orr events and
Dragons, and even helping with lvling main characters and alts.

The Unholy Mackerels has a core group of active members and we are building upon that, however doing so slowly so we get to know each and every one. We currently are a medium size guild with 63 members and with 20+ of us active daily, consisting of mostly NA members.

We are quite the social guild through teamspeak and guild chat. We use teamspeak but do not require it. Our newer members can listen in on the first few days and talk when they feel comfortable, however most talk within minutes because of how easy going everyone is!

What We Do
We currently run weekly scheduled WvW, Dungeons, Fractals, Guild Treks and Guild Bounties and do any of the above throughout the week off schedule. Also we provide FUN events and random guild chat trivia with prizes. There is always something going on daily, usually any time after 6pm EST – 2am EST during the weekdays and any time during the weekends.

What Server We Are On
You can find us on the Fort Aspenwood server. A tier 2 server for WvW, has quite a busy PvE population in maps, it’s own friendly community forums for all things GW2, it’s own community teamspeak where everyone is welcome, and a server that enjoys working together through good communication while playing to have fun.

What if I’m not on FA?
No fear! UM allows recruits to guest for up to a month in order to help everyone to have time to gather in game gold or irl money in order to transfer. Our staff and members are also more than willing to help by running events to help out! With all the events we run it is very easy to make the money to transfer in as little as a week.

How to Join Us!
Take a look around on our website to see more about us and our events we run and click “Join” to read our simple but necessary rules. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, we would definitely be happy to answer!

This Saturday at 6pm EST we will be hosting an easter egg hunt for the Unholy Mackerels in Lion’s Arch! Each staff member will be an easter egg, hiding somewhere in Lion’s Arch! If you find a staff member you win 2.5 gold from that person. Try to find all 4 eggs to win up to 10 gold! Each egg can only be found a maximum of 5 times and only once per person so the race will be on to ensure you get that 10g! Not only do you have to find the egg but you also have to figure out how the egg got to where they are! Jumping in TS is a must! We also will provide a tunes room if you’d like to relax and listen to some tunes while on your hunt.

PS: Don’t you love my ridiculous banner?

The Unholy Mackerels changed the way I played Guild Wars 2. I had not been playing much since I got the game in November, but when I joined [UM] I actually started to enjoy playing. I joined a little over a month ago, but it feels like I’ve been playing with everyone in the guild for years. Anyone is willing to help at the drop of a dime, and the schedule makes it easy to participate in the things that I really want to do. There is always something to do and it definitely changed my entire opinion on Guild Wars 2. [Um] is a wonderful guild, and we love to get new members.

Definitely a success! We followed up with a guild bounty right after the guild trek with 10 guildies participating. Through great teamwork and communication, we worked together to take down both bounties. Everyone worked beautifully together even with a difficult bounty!

Such a fun high of success-fullness with the guild, including a total count of 30+ exotics found that day by guild members, with one guild member finding 8 exotics in one day!

That 10% Guild Magic Find, totally.

My husband and I joined UM a little over a month ago and we would highly recommend it to everyone looking for a casual, fun, competent guild. We had been members of a guild before that did not work out for us — we felt pressure to be on every night to carry the dungeon groups because there weren’t enough members, there was drama everywhere…it was really ruining the GW2 experience for us.

Luckily, we have experienced none of that since joining UM. After posting on the forums looking for a guild, I got a mass of responses and we narrowed it down to 4 guilds we wanted to try and guest with so we didn’t end up in our previous situation again. UM was our third guesting experience and we never even had to guest with our 4th because we knew it was for us. As full time students who also work, we thought with a new guild we would be able cut back on our hours. And we can, but we find ourselves liking the guild so much we’re on almost as much as we were before.

We’ve done everything with the guild so far — missions, WvW, PvE, (some people even joined us for sPvP) and are currently in a group collecting the last paths for dungeon master. I’d also like to point out that my husband and I won the Lawn Dart event which video is linked in the post prior to this one. We made out with 20g between the two of us, and it was also hilarious. We haven’t had a bad experience doing any PvP or PvE events, and I am aware of zero drama (which has been a lovely change). The fact that the main weekly events are scheduled and consistent really works out for those with busy schedules or those that don’t want to get on every night, but just want to log on for certain events. However, impromptu dungeon runs or WvW, etc. also happen for those that are on every night, before and after the regularly scheduled events.

If you’re concerned about the relatively steep price (either gold or real money) for the gems to transfer to Fort Aspenwood (eventually, since the guild allows you plenty of time before its necessary to transfer), I’d just advise you that my husband and I haven’t regretted it once. It’s a great server and it really changes the game experience to not only have a good guild, but a good world to play in.

Everyone has been really friendly and happy to help right from the beginning, and I’d like to think we are now included in that group. We recently brought another friend from our previous guild over, and he’s settled in really well too. I’d encourage anyone looking for a reasonable PvX guild to give UM a try or at least talk to one of the officers about it. Hopefully you’d be as happy in your new home as we’ve been!

Just had our first Lowbie Lvling day for those needing to level their first characters or alts! It went great as we map cleared Caledon forest together – goes much faster with +Exp buffs, banners, food and lots of friends to chat with while killing baddies.

We’d love to have more friendly faces become an active part of our guild, PM me today to chat about your future with The Unholy Mackerels!
