Dear Tyrians,
Recently, we started a community ( not guild ) for girls all over the world who have one thing in common, sharing the same passion for this beautiful game. A community like this would offer fellow female gamers a place to hang out together, play and talk.
From experience we know this is something a lot of girls find very pleasant and appreciate. Communities set up for female gamers have proven to grow out to large communities which often translate into large number of female gamers helping one another, hanging out and doing a variety of things in the gaming scene. We want to get big with Guild wars 2. With over 350 members in our community, we believe we have what it takes to become a welcoming community and to offer an alternative community to the gaming scene of Guild Wars 2.
What is our aim/goal ?
Our goal is to have more girls involved, have a place where girls can hang out together and exercise friendly competitions. Furthermore, we want to grow as a community and share the fun. This includes building a welcoming website, with a variety of activities and also a possible streaming section included. Most importantly we want everyone to be free to contribute and become a part of the fun.
As much as every girl enjoys playing with guys, we sometimes wish to had fellow girls to play with. See it as a “girls night out”. And this is where we come in, we want to offer that opportunity. Too many times have we heard “I didn’t know there were fellow girl gamers” or “I’m excited to play with other female gamers..” Sometimes it’s just nice to have a place where only girls are and to talk with them about this game. Not to mention a vast majority enjoys playing with a fellow female gamer and that is sometimes hard to find, especially in the gaming scene.
Why segregate? Why do girls need this ?
We do not wish to segregate, we are simply offering the opportunity to join a community which offers a stage for girls find other girls to hang out together, share the passion or play together. In fact the website forum is accessible to men as well. The facebook group is, however, exclusively for women.
In the gaming scene, girls are way underrepresented and often you might wonder how it would be playing with other girls. Well, lets face it guys. A guy’s night out is so much different from a night out with your girlfriend. People act and talk differently and especially in the gaming world there are a lot of girls who would like to hang out with other girls. Besides, another factor for such a group is promoting the game among girls.
Yes, this wonderful game appeals to a lot of females because of its various features such as the lore, the gears’ fashion and style, the music, the crafting disciplines, the environment and a whole lot more that we mostly enjoy in real life. And in addition to that, by showing that there are even communities for them, this might encourage and show some to get involved with the game. Also women are less competitive in general.. that is why you have separate women tourneys for poker and chess which isn’t even physical.
