Guild Wars 2

“The weather in the Crystal Desert is hot and unforgiving. The winds blow hard, making and unmaking dunes, covering up the present and uncovering the past. An examination of the sand will reveal that each grain is actually a tiny, pointed crystal. In isolated locations, larger crystal formations have been revealed by the constant, unforgiving wind.”
– The Guild Wars Manuscripts

Our Server Philosophy

Crystal Desert sees the value of all aspects of a player’s gameplay. We emphasize social interactions and communication. We believe in the ultimate experience of the game and the friendships you make while playing the game. Crystal Desert supports the philosophy that if everyone gives a little, everyone can enjoy a lot. Coordination and cooperation can overcome any disadvantage, and we pride ourselves in fighting against all odds. Respect is due to every member of our community and a pleasurable experience outweighs arrogance.

What Does the CD Community Provide?

- Community events like Vexia’s free giveaway in LA, and our Naked Nite WvW event, every Friday before reset. Check out our Community Calendar

- Communication through two weekly meetings, a Commander meeting Friday nights to plan reset strategy and an open community meeting on Saturday nights.

- A resilient attitude that, like the Crystal Desert of GW1, has survived and hardened through harsh winds.

- An elected Crystalian Council made up of community leaders and representatives who work to promote our server, mediate conflicts, moderate meetings, and organize community events.

- A TS3 server with WvW, PvE, Guild, and public channels for your use.

What About WvW?

- Skill lag? What’s that? A dedicated group of 20 players can make a huge difference on our server. Zergs happen (usually during NA prime) but they aren’t the norm. Queues outside of Friday night reset are very rare.

- WvW training is held every Sunday for various classes and types of play.

- Groups active in WvW ranging from roaming to havoc to zerg balls.

- One of our most recent successful initiatives is an open guild dedicated solely to protecting our Borderlands.

- Crystal Desert will be a contender in the Silver League.

- We have active NA and SEA timeslots.

Interested in transferring?

We welcome guilds and players who agree with our server philosophy and would be loyal Crystalians. We hope that potential transfers will be willing to learn from us as much as we look forward to learning from them. Crystal Desert does not offer gold to guilds looking to transfer.

Crystal Desert is currently in T5, fighting a T2 and T3 server. And we’re going to gain ranking points. Because we’re stubborn like that.

Crystal desert FTW~~

bump for CD <3

Crystal Desert toughened me up when our servers fought, and though we were mostly blown out, They are a great server and I would transfer in a heartbeat if Darkhaven suddenly blew-up. Bump for goodluck in silver you guys

bump it up for Crystal Desert

More bumps for the desert

CD is full of really awesome and kind people and certainly deserve a bump and consideration if you’re looking for a new home.

bump for my home CD, great community we got goin on here

Love everyone on CD. Awesome community and tons of fun.

hopefully we’ll get more NA guilds coming to CD, or more NA players from CD itself joining our WvW forces…

Buuuuump. Came out of the first week of Silver league with five points.

More for the Oceanic time slot would be great also

Also free dolyak arrangement classes.

Bump for Crystal Desert!

This is one of the best servers out there. I remember transferring here over a year ago from FA. I have never found a better community in any game I have ever played. The WvW community is starting to get organized to the point where you are starting to see some good results. We would welcome anyone who transferred here with open arms.

Last week we barely lost 2nd place in one of our harder matchups, with 5th seed EBay edging out 7th seed CD 188k to 184k. This week we’re up by a thousand points on 4th seed BP by Sunday morning. CD fights their kitten off, no matter what the matchup.

Bump for great justice!

No seriously, we really need more WvW people. I love this server, but we need a few more guilds that can give us more coverage. Our morale is a little low right now, but we still get out there and fight the best we can. Come join CD!

Come to CD!

We do special fire dances with our golems!

Bumping for CD. My first server, you guys need your numbers up to match us over at Ebay! Good luck on the recruiting, and see you on the battlefield!
