Guild Wars 2

Alpharius [Alph] is looking for new recruits!

Overview:

• Server: Gandara.
• Major membership countries: UK, Australia, EU, Chile.
• Membership type: Mature.
• Peak activity: Evenings (8pm+) UK time and Australia time; plus weekends.
• Guild language: English (exclusively).
• Game modes: WvW (regularly, incl. EotM), PvE (regularly, incl. dungeon runs), PvP (occasional only).
• Size: Modest (circa 100 members as of Sept2014).

Why join?:

• Mature membership and no drama policy: All members are required to have and display a mature attitude and behaviour – this does not correlate with a specific age limit. Please be aware that many (probably the majority!) of our members are older gamers, and many have family responsibilities. Our playing time is tight and we don’t want to spend it resolving conflict. Hence social fit with our guild and philosophy is a principle concern.
• Not a number: You don’t want a large anonymous guild, but one where people get to know each other, regularly play with each other and have mutual respect for each other.
• You have your own bank guild: We require majority representation, but if you have your own “bank style” guild or alternative guild for none-peak Alph playing times, then no worries!
• You have limited playing time: You might be casual, or serious. You might play daily, or only once every so often. That’s fine with us.

What [Alph] offers:

• Dedicated guild Voice Server: We have a dedicated Ventrilo server for guild mates to use. It is not mandatory though. And for WvW, we frequently use the Gandara TS3 as well.
• Coaching and advice: Many of our members have a large WvW rank and Achievement Point total (including in the top 50 of all Gandara). Collectively, we can advise new members on almost every aspect of the game and we’re happy to have players new to the game on board with us.
• No elitism: We’re not going to force you to play a certain class or a certain sub-build of a class for our raids. We will never hold “trials” to see if you have the right amount of dps or stand in the right location for a particular dungeon or to place some siege in WvW. But we can advise you (as above) and help you hone your (and our group’s) tactics and stratagems.
• Guild bonuses: We try to keep +10% magic find active at all times and we place banners on occasion for our guild activities and our allies.
• Friendly, happy, collegiate and supportive environment
• Guild forums: hosted by enjoin, including restricted sections to share WvW builds, strategies and tactics, achievement point hunting guides, etc.

Contacts for recruitment / Guild Leadership:
Feel free to message or whisper any of us in-game for a guild invite if you feel our guild and philosophy is for you:

• PebbleMaster.4012 (main character: Mido Ichi);
• dopeko.5694 (main character: Tigris Code);
• Finale.8960 (main character: Wild Kai);
• Tyrotoxism.6238 (main character: Forn Bombadil)

(if you don’t get a response within 24hr within the game, pls message another guild leader — we all have real life commitments or have to travel due to work, and, shock-horror, even take holidays!)

More than 1 year at Alpharius Guild and feeling great to be part of it. Add a bit to what was written, offering to help new guild mates by sharing time and knowledge in most aspects of GW2, game which I started playing since beta release and granted me experience besides +20,000 Achievement points by playing PvE (farming world boss gold or goodies, dungeons + fractals), sPvP (Reaper) or fighting for Gandara at World vs World or commanding at EoTM. Come join us, all welcome.

September 2014 update

Especially looking for new players to introduce to EotM and WvW. Although we emphasise that we welcome all classes, more warriors and guardians would be very welcome at this point in time.

Maturity is more important than the class that you play though, every time.
