Hey, looking for a guild!!
Hi Erebus! Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad time with your previous two guilds. I can assure you that you would find a different experience in MadCast. Being the internet, I think it speaks to the kind of conduct we expect from our members that we have so many women members who stick around and feel comfortable. (I myself am one so I can speak with confidence.
)
My guild, MadCast Gaming, is on Sanctum of Rall, but you can feel free to guest for as long as you want. Some of our members never transfer, so that is ok, but if you ever want to transfer in the future, we are happy to help dedicated and involved members save for the transfer. If you need help with how to guest, just let me know. ^^ The only real barrier I anticipate is probably with times. The guild is primarily active from 6/7 PM EST until 2 AM EST. (It is currently 12:30 PM EST for your reference)
Anyway, MadCast is a gaming community that is bigger than GW2, but we are working on growing our GW2 sector right now. You can check out our website at www.madcastgaming.com. I especially suggest you read through the forums some to get a feel for what we are all about! Here are some points you may find attractive about MadCast:
- We have a mature community. While MadCast has no specific age requirements we do have high expectations for maturity. You will find kind, patient people and no drama. The vast majority of our members are over 18 (especially in GW2). Most of our GW2 members are older with careers, and many have families and children.
- We are a serious community with casual gameplay. In other words, the main expectations we have for members revolves around positive contribution to the community and not on a packed GW2 schedule attendance. If you are active in the forums and show up to a few events a week, that is good enough for us. Because we are casual our community is made out of all levels of players. We have many very new players, some new to gaming in general, and our environment is built on kindness and helpfulness. People will be happy to answer your questions and guide you through things no matter how basic or advanced.
- We have a super awesome, active TeamSpeak group. If you are thinking of joining, it is definitely a place to check out! We enforce strict rules of respectfulness and tolerance among our players, making it a safe friendly place for everyone. People of all types feel comfortable joining in the conversation and making new friends.
- Our community is bigger than in-game. We have a website with a lot of activity and heavy forum use. This is a huge asset because we have people who play all kinds of games over at MadCast, and the forums really serve as the uniting factor among people.
If you check out our website, you will see information about becoming a Full Member of MadCast. This is not something you need to do right away. Our guild welcomes ‘Associate’ Members, meaning we will add you to the guild, you are free to use our TeamSpeak and join our Forums, but you do not have complete access rights for inviting people to the guild yourself, or accessing certain Full Member parts of our forum. This is a good way to find out if MadCast is the right fit for you before applying. In the long run, to gain any ranking position, we require people to be an official MadCast Full Member.
If you want to, I’d love to invite you to join us and meet some of our members. Tonight we will be doing some dungeon runs! I would encourage you to join us in our TeamSpeak (you can find information about that here: http://www.madcastgaming.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?2-New-to-MadCast). Alternatively, you can private message me in game, and I would be happy to add you into one of our parties. TeamSpeak is our main form of communication, and even if you aren’t comfortable using your mic, it would be great if you installed it just to listen to the chatter. Quite a few of our members participate this way.
If you have any questions you can message me in game, post here, or join our forums and ask there. Good luck finding a place for you! <3

Awesome! ^^ Take your time checking us out of course— we want people to feel comfortable. But post an intro thread if you like what you see and come hang out with us tonight on the Teamspeaks and in game if you are able! I can also answer any questions you may have about it here/on the site/in game/whatever.
