Guild Wars 2

Hi,

My name is Tim, you don’t know me but we’re going to take little journey and soon you will know all about me. I am originally a Guild Wars 1 player who has invested nearly 5,000 hours into that game since it launched. I purchased every expansion ArenaNet made available and by a wide margin my favorite was Factions. I use to run with a very close group of online friends and we did everything together.

Most of us made the switch to Guild Wars 2, formed a guild and everything was awesome. However, slowly but surely one by one everyone just stopped logging on. It was really depressing because I had such high hopes that we could return to our former glory of tackling challenging content together and having a blast while doing it. I’ve remained active for the most part, taking a week or two off here and there (Flame and Frost was rolled out way to slow to keep my attention) and I do still enjoy the game, but I feel like I am missing out on so much because I do not have anyone I can regularly roll with.

I almost exclusively enjoy PvE content. I think I would enjoy WvW more if it wasn’t such a zerg fest and Player vs Door is not fun IMO. I really enjoyed every type of PvP in GW1 and I have played sPvP in GW2 and am undecided on how I feel about it. I have RP’d lightly, and found it to be fun, but I am not interested in writing a book about my characters back story.

Well, now you know about me. What’s the story behind you and your guild? Does your guild have a website? Does it have a You Tube channel? I’d love to see them! I’d also love to have a conversation with you about what your guild is about, where it’s been and where it is headed. If you are willing to have such a conversation and are willing to provide some additional details and answer some of my questions, please leave me a contact name for in-game and I hope to talk to you soon!

Sincerely,
Tim

Hey Tim,

My name’s Foop. I represent the guild Vicarious. Vicarious has been around long before the launch of Guild Wars 2, but dedicated ourselves to being a Guild Wars 2 guild once it was released. Our main priority in Vicarious is ensuring that we’re playing with friends, not just gamers. After reading your story on losing some online friends, but really wanting to get to know the people that you’re playing with, I honestly believe that Vicarious might be the right guild for you. We’re a smaller guild, but like to get to know each of our members well.

We’ve just recently opened our doors up to new members again, so if you are thinking about joining, this would be the perfect time! We use mumble to communicate, and expect to see each of our members on a fairly regular basis.

Feel free to check out our website at http://www.vicarious.enjin.com/ and click “Enlist Here!” if you think you might like to join us. Additionally, feel free to send me a PM, reply to this post, or even mail me in game if you have any questions first. I’d be glad to help answer them for you!

Really looking forward to hearing you on mumble, getting to know you, and playing with you in game!

Check your PMs

Greetings Tim,

My guild is called The Gryphons Aerie and we’re a smallish, bordering medium sized, social, 18+ PvE/RP family on Tarnished Coast. Some of us also enjoy knocking some heads in WvsW and a touch of sPvP. Knowledge of and/ or participation in RP is not required. We’ll teach you if you want to learn, but there’s no pressure.

We know that RL comes first and stress that fact. We’ll still be there even if you can’t for a bit of time. We enjoy helping each other and doing things together when possible. All you have to do is ask if you need help with something and we’ll do our best to come to your aid.

Don’t worry about trying to transfer right away. Feel free to guest with us as long as you want. if you decide you want to transfer, we’ll help you get the funds you need to do so.

There is also no requirement to be representing us at all times. It’s not our business to tell you who you can and cannot associate with; that choice is yours alone. All we ask is that you give us some time too. We do have a TeamSpeak 3, but it’s use is on a purely optional basis. Most of our chatter is on the guild channel.

Hi Tim

That is sad what has happened to your guild and group of friends, there is nothing worse than really loving a game and then eventually you feel lost because everyone you knew stopped playing. I know that feeling well, maybe not from this game, but from a different game I played for 9 years. Perhaps our guild might give you a new place to call home?

We have a small guild in Ehmry Bay called Blood Raven Nighingales. My husband and I created it with a friend of mine. My friend stopped playing but we continued, so we decided to expand the guild and invite some players who enjoy PvE as much as we do.

Our vision was to create a group of friends to game with, people we can do some dungeons with or explore the area maps with etc. We have no big plans to expand into a massive guild. We prefer it smaller, we get to know all our members and it is more like a bunch of friends enjoying the game. A lot of the guild members introduce themselves by first name or a game nickname and we like that kind of familiarity.

We are oceanic based, I am from Australia and we have many Australian members, but we also have some members from the US, Singapore and Hong Kong as well. We don’t do dungeon runs every night, we don’t do fractals all the time but most of us do love dungeons and when not levelling alts we like to run them. (I personally would do them every day if I could get enough interest! lol)

We have vent for dungeons but no voice for general guild chat. We also have a forums website, bloodravennighingales.enjjin.com. We use the website to announce events, game discussion and off topic talk as well.

We are not a big guild with all the bells and whistles, but we are genuine people, who are friendly, active and enjoy playing GW2. We hope you consider us and please do add me in game if you would like to have a chat.

Sincerely,

Wynter Raven

Hi Tim,

I know the feels man. :/ I was part of a small but thriving game community that was killed by some game-breaking nerfs and discontinued support for the servers and devs. Real life stuff happened, and a group of good friends for several years was slowly disbanded. The skype group still occasionally pops up but the good times are long gone. T_T

That said, finding a new group of good friends is definitely the right move, though I am sure you will miss the times you had with your old friends. I find GW2 is not a game that can hold my attention for very long without the social aspect.

Anyway, here comes a long stream of information about my guild MadCast Gaming. I appreciate that you are very serious about finding a good fit, so I’ll type up something more specific to your questions here instead of Ctr+C, Ctr+P here. XD

MadCast is a fairly old gaming guild that has been through many different games. It was started in 2007 by two friends as a result of their Battlefield clan slowly falling apart. I myself did not find/join MadCast until earlier this past year. I actually joined the clan for League of Legends— the GW2 clan I joined early on in the game did not work out for me, so I started playing LoL because I don’t like playing GW2 alone. After I joined MadCast I discovered they also played GW2, and since then it’s been GW2 100% for me!

At the very start of my time at MadCast, the GW2 group was quite small. They had decided to change servers over Christmas, and the switch + many people’s holidays meant not everyone returned when it was all said and done. Myself and few other dedicated members have worked very hard, and I can happily say we are growing exponentially. On most nights there are anywhere from 8-20 people in our GW2 Teamspeak room.

However, our goal is not to continue growing forever, but to reach and sustain perhaps 50 regularly active members so we can generally expect to have about 20 people on each night. We feel this is a number that will allow us to keep our friendly family feel while providing enough people that our group can do everything people want to do. The number is a bit flexible of course, and one thing I have learned about MadCast is that we strive to be adaptable to continue growing and improving. There’s no other way to stay around for that long!

Here are a few things I personally really appreciate about MadCast:

1. MadCast is serious about building a good community. People are always welcome to join us as associates/guests to check us out, but everyone who wears the MadCast tag has gone through a Candidacy period of 30 days. They must show they can stay active in our community by playing games with us and using our forums, and they must demonstrate they can uphold our code of conduct.

2. MadCast is very democratic. All members contribute to the candidate decisions by giving feedback about their interaction with the candidates. Our ranking members (moderators) are chosen cyclically so that no one goes stale in power. Senior members are voted on by the entire general community, and Staff pretty much do not make decisions without member input on some level (most decisions are not made by staff at all). This system is 1. a demonstration of our commitment to choosing quality members, and 2. proof of the level of involvement our members have in the community.

3. We have a ton of fun! Last night we had a Karaoke night which we had maybe 50 people attend over 4 hours. It was a good time to get to know people and everyone took turns singing/playing instruments. Events like that ensure everyone gets to know each other even if they don’t normally play the same games.

4. We are casual gamers with a hardcore community. You may notice all my points have been about our community. Most of us are a little older with careers, families, and some even have children. We are all actively involved and enjoy playing together because of our great friendships over the great games. Most of our members spend a lot of time online on the TeamSpeak, in game, and on the forums. However, we never require people to have a certain skill level, or have the best gear, or log in for a minimum number of events a week. We want you to (of course) if you can, but our real values are community-based, not game based.

There’s tons more but that should give you a good idea for now. I’m really happy to talk to you more about it too. ^^

Here’s what you should check out to give yourself a better feel for MadCast:

Our website at www.madcastgaming.com. Especially check out the forums.

Our youtube at www.youtube.com/user/madcastgaming. Lots of good stuff there.

Lastly, pop into our TeamSpeak to meet people and check us out! Information for connecting is on our forums in the New to MadCast subforum. Our GW2 members are most active between 7 PM EST and 2 AM EST.

Good luck Tim! I hope you find the perfect guild.
