Okay, I’m aware this is going to be a shot in the dark, but you never know who has the answer, right?
Yesterday morning, having no particular plan for my adventuring, I (a Sylvari Elementalist, lvl 12 at the time) was at Sandycove Beach indulging one of my more casual pastimes: wailing on unsuspecting hermit crabs. Perhaps, unbeknownst to me, this struck onlookers as a cry for help, since surely a lvl 12 anything has better things to do than kill monsters that aren’t even hostile. Whatever the reason, I suddenly noticed I had received an invitation to join a party. I figured they were probably mistaken, but accepted the invite anyways because whatever they wanted to do was probably more interesting than crab hunting.
Well, no sooner did I click the green checkmark, but two level 80s hurried over to me and kneeled, of all things! There isn’t a word to express my feelings at that moment, although the closest is probably gobsmacked. I sat in the real world with my mouth hanging open as they asked me how they may be of service. I remembered I was having particular trouble with the story quest “Deep Tangled Roots” and so mentioned it. They told me to lead on.
Needless to say, the story was MUCH easier with a group of seasoned players backing me up. After that they had to disperse, but I was told I could message any time if I needed help.
Here’s the problem: I was forced to log out minutes after I thanked them, so I lost the chat history with their names. And what I remember isn’t much: Akatosh was one player (if I remember right), he mentioned ‘Grim’ as the person to message to join the guild (though I know ‘Grim’ wasn’t his full username, and I didn’t catch sight of it) and the guild was Order of (something), which is a problem obviously because a LOT of guilds have that name in some form. I recognize this is all due to my negligence in taking notes, and rest assured that I am considering keeping a notepad at my computer table for the rest of my GW2 life.
But if this sounds familiar to anyone, I’d appreciate help in finding these people again! Thanks!
