Greetings,
You don’t know me yet, but hopefully within a few minutes you’ll know me well enough to want to get to know me even better by replying to this thread, sending me a message on these forums, or even messaging me in game!
Firstly, my name is Tim, I am a GW1 Vet and I’ve been playing MMO’s for … a long time. I’ve never gotten into RP before, but there was something about Guild Wars 2 that really had me intrigued. I was genuinely curious what RP really was. I had an image in my head of what it was, but it was based entirely on hearsay. I decided it was time for me to see for myself what it was and this is what ultimately motivated me to guest on Tarnished Coast before server transfer fee’s were introduced.
I won’t go into great lengths as to what my trip to Tarnished Coast entailed here (it is quite a story!), however if you are interested I did make a post on GW2RP five months ago here:
During this time, if you would of told me four to five months down the road I was going to…
…work on developing my first character complete with strengths and weaknesses;
[Character Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dMe7msw8MduKI4QOufF-6XIACmOtQ1XzuULdpVocX8M/edit?usp=sharing ]
…write a short story about a significant event that took place in my characters history;
…further develop my character by actually RPing;
…make new friends while RPing and go on to RP with those same people for the next SEVEN HOURS (with more multi-hour sessions later);
…I would have said “No way, I’m just not that into it.”
Now, fast forward five months later and I’ve some how made the leap from “I am not interested in developing a character bio, story, etc” to all of the above being true!
So, here I am now looking for a guild whose focus is on RP and to help you help me, I have a few items that need to be taken into consideration.
1.) I want a guild with little to no representation requirements. This is a game first and foremost for me, not a job. I am currently a member of a GREAT (Non-RP) PvE focused guild (Shout out to The Nights Watch [FaDe]!) and I WILL be representing them, most likely a majority of the time. If I have to worry about who I am representing when it becomes a chore and I have enough of those already!
2.) While it is not required, I would prefer the guild I join to be an Asura focused guild. My character is an Asura and RPing with them is a blast! Again, this isn’t required, just preferred.
3.) I’ve heard of “hardcore” RP and vice versa, but to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what that means. So, I have no idea of my needs in this department. Just let me know what your expectations are for me as I am here now for you.
4.) I would really like the guild I join to host RP events, I’ve never gotten to participate in anything like this and would love to have the opportunity!
And I think that is it! If you would like to ask me anything please feel free to respond in this post, send me a PM here, or send me an in-game mail/whisper and I will do my very best to answer any and all of your questions!
