Guild Wars 2

Hello and thank you for giving us some of your time taking an interest in our guild by clicking on this thread! I seriously recommend reading all of this to make 100% sure you’re right for this guild. If you can’t be bothered, at least read the short summary I included near the bottom.

Fortis Ones was founded as soon as I was able to log into GW2 and create my character on the first day of the early release only to those who pre-purchased the game. We were growing at a good steady pace but then the guild leaders decided to take a break from playing for a while, and when we came back several months later, the guild was dead.

But we’ve come back from our break and we’re slowly rebuilding the guild again!

Name Meaning -
Fortis Ones is roughly translated from Latin to “The Brave Ones”. For that is what we are. Fortis has several meanings which are Brave, Strong, Powerful & Courageous. We strive to be all of these meaning therefore we are Fortis Ones.

Guild Ranks
Now I’d like to share important information on how our guild works. Firstly there is no single guild leader, but three of them. All of our guild ranks are in latin and some actually mean pretty much the same thing but we wanted to add a variety of ranks to the guild where players could “level up” so to speak within the guild by simply being in it for a certain period of time and constantly representing us.

So first, I’ll tell you the ranks of the guild:

The two Guild Leader ranks are:

• Regulus
• Tentus
  These ranks cannot be obtained.

The two higher ranks that can only be obtained through hard work, loyalty and dedication to the guild are:

• Optimus
• Dominari

Now that’s the ranks where you have to do a lot of work for the guild in order to achieve. The following ranks you can easily gain simply by being in the guild for a certain period of time and constantly representing the guild:

• Novitium -
  This is the highest rank anyone can achieve by just being in the guild and constantly representing. It is where you’re considered a fully fledged member. You’ve finally been in the guild for 2 weeks and have been constantly representing us. You can now make a name for yourself and eventually become one of the higher ranks (if you so choose) by proving your loyalty and dedication for the guild. However you can turn down promotions if you just want to stick to being a fully fledged loyal member.

• Noviti -
  This rank is given to members who have been in the guild for 1 week while constantly representing us. You are almost considered a trustworthy loyal member.

• Tironis -
  This rank is a member’s first step into the guild on being accepted as a member after representing us for 3 days. You can now display our guild emblem and have full access to the helpful items guild bank tab.

• Tiro -
  Tiro is latin for Recruit, since this is what you are. All members are Tiro at first for 3 days. Once you have been representing our guild for 3 days, you can become Tironis. Since this is your test period, you cannot display our emblem nor access our guild bank.

Guild Requirement
Now that you’ve seen our ranks and have a rough idea how they work, you need to know what we require of you. All that was ask is for you to always constantly represent us. Continue to do this and earn us influence, and you’ll fly by to the fully fledged rank of Novitium in no time. However if you are caught not representing us, you will be given a warning. If you do not represent us after being told, you risk being ranked down by one. If you continue to keep not representing us, then we will have to remove you sadly since we only want loyal dedicated members who want a social friendly guild, but also want to help make that very guild great at the same time.

If you join our guild and not represent us, what is the point in being in our guild? We only want members who will always represent us and remain loyal to one guild. So please, if you cannot keep to these standards, then please do not request to join.

We are a very friendly social guild that do many different activities together, be it dungeons, WvW, PvP or just chilling and chatting in guild chat having a laugh. We always help our members, so if you find yourself stuck on a quest, jumping puzzle or whichever, just say something in the guild chat and if no one is busy doing something currently, we’ll be sure to help out. That is the kind of guild we strive to be. But we can only do that by having loyal friendly members who want to help make the guild as great as possible and at the same time be in a great friendly guild.

Short Summary

• Always represent us
• Be friendly
• Help guildmates out
• Participate in guild events
• Help make the guild better
• Socialise

You can also mail me or the other leaders in-game if you would like to join. Just send a mail to either of these names:

• Aarek
• Akardion
• Asher Rose

If you have any questions feel free to ask. We look forward to hearing from all of you.
