Guild Wars 2

Just started playing the game and I’m sorta wondering what the point of guilds are. Its in the game title, so i figured it’d be kinda important. Anyone wanna give me a summary of what guilds are for plus maybe some lingo?

Being in a guild gives you a regular group of players with similar play-styles to yourself for you to chat with & also to more easily form groups for dungeons etc.
Organised events, knowing you will have a decent number of people to run WvW with, assurance that any question you have or help you need there are a group of like-minded players in a dedicated chat channel, guilds are very useful tools in any mmo regardless of its name

In GW2, when you represent a guild & complete events, especially in guild groups too, you earn “influence” for the guild & they can then spend that influence buying upgrades for the guild which you in turn benefit from. There are guild banks where guildies can share things around, help each other out with items others might have use for, boosts like extra karma or experience for a 24 hour period, & bonuses for WvW forts when your guild has claimed them etc.

I personally would definitely say being in the right guild for you can really enhance your game & help extend the lifetime of the game too. If you let people know what kind of things you like to do in game (dungeons, fractals, PvE, WvW, PvP, etc) as there are guilds for all interests just as there are also guilds for casual players & guilds for serious hardcore players.
Also worth mentioning which server you are on, timezone you play in & if you are willing to change servers especially as free server transfers do end on Sunday (27th Jan) & after that time “guesting” will come into play instead which will help cross-servers for PvE gaming but anyone wanting a guild for WvW will need to be same server.

I hope this helps & I wish you the best of luck in finding the right home for you.

Good day,

I run an actively casual guild on Devona’s Rest and we’re always looking for more players interested in joining our ranks. We have weekly events, such as dungeon runs and WvW, but we’re also the spontaneous type that will decide on the hour to do something. We’re very patient and all adults who are just interested in a fun gaming experience.

You can find our guild posting here:

You can always contact us in game if you’d rather have a conversation and get a better feel for what our guild is about. Feel free to add me to your friend list as I’m on every evening.
