Welcome to the Druids of Dhuum [DoD] “official” recruitment thread! We’re going to try to be really serious about this, because that’s important.
Who is DoD?
DoD is a Northern Shiverpeaks guild filled with one sort of person: fun-loving. We pride ourselves on creating a fun, casual environment for players to enjoy the game and the people in it. We use both Teamspeak and guild chat extensively, but we do not require speaking in TS when running with us. While it is very important to some guilds, DoD is NOT set up to be a family friendly (PG rating) guild because we don’t want folks to have to worry about how they speak as long as it stays friendly. In fact, DoD is rated F for FUN.
What kinds of things does DoD do?
We do a bit of everything, including:
- Dungeons/Fractals – We have scheduled Fractals on Wednesdays and host a dungeon scheduler on our website to set up specific runs alongside daily runs by many members.
- Guild Missions – DoD runs guild missions on Sunday evenings, just after reset.
- Open world PvE/Story/seasonal content – Need some help on a story mission, achievement, or tricky vista? No worries, DoD routinely sets up parties to run through missions, complete maps, or farm world bosses.
- PvP teams – Rarely does a day go by that DoD doesn’t have a team running in PvP. We also maintain a custom arena for guild members to use.
- WvW rallies – DoD rallies on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and we often run at WvW reset as well. We are a balanced capping/fighting group that enjoys both champ and player bags.
- Guild raffles – DoD holds raffles every 2 weeks to help raise funds for guild expenses.
- FUN – This is the most important part of DoD. We value fun above all else in-game, because it’s a game.
What does fun mean when you’re a part of DoD?
You can play the game how you want, when you want. We highly encourage members to join teams and attend our events, but if you want to kill the Shatterer while the rest of us are in PvP, no worries. We think you’ll find a lot of fun running with DoD because we’re a silly, happy bunch, but you’re always welcome to some time alone. Similarly, we don’t expect every player to rep a single guild all the time. We require DoD rep when running with us, and this is particularly important for WvW and during guild missions. Outside of those times it’s your choice who you rep. Why? Because we pride ourselves on being a fun bunch of folks to play and socialize with, and that’s what maintains a community, not a strict set of rules and requirements. Thanks to the community we foster, we’re confident that you’ll WANT to rep DoD most (if not all) of the time!
Who are we recruiting?
DoD is currently looking to rebuild our core. We currently field 1 fractal teams, an occasional PvP team, and around 3-6 players in WvW. As far as new members, DoD is looking for active, bad joke-loving players to strengthen our presence in WvW and across the board. We are primarily recruiting from the Northern Shiverpeaks server, but we are very welcoming to PvE/PvP players on other servers. If you join us on another server, we may even be able to help you transfer on over to NSP! All classes and experience levels are welcome. If you’re interested in having fun, look us up!
**DoD is also currently looking for 1-2 outgoing players who are interested in commanding/driving a semi-organized guild group in WvW and/or pugmanding for NSP under the DoD tag. Previous experience is not necessary, and training/support is available.
Anything else?
Using TS while running with us is HIGHLY encouraged, but even just listening is great. We are very happy to recommend builds and help players get set up, but as a fun-oriented guild DoD will NEVER require specific builds. Similarly, while we want everyone to come to our events, we recognize that life comes first. As a result, we do not mandate a play schedule or require attendance at a certain portion of runs. The only serious requirement is what we call “reasonable activity.” What this means is that we do occasionally remove members that have not logged in for a few months and have not let us know they’ll be gone. If you’ll be busy for awhile, no problem, just let us know. Forgot to let us know but now you’re back in-game? You’re more than welcome to rejoin DoD at any time.
How can you join?
To join DoD, visit our website at http://druidsofdhuum.enjin.com and click Join Druids of Dhuum, or get in touch with Turkadactyl.5308, Trafficone.5301, or Blaze.7185 in-game.

In closing, you should join DoD on NSP (we can even help with transfers)! We’re welcoming, flexible, and:
