Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently been informed that part of playing an MMORPG is, you know, being social. I’ve been on GW and GW2 and even gotten into the game – but always been a casual player. I’ve never gotten that far in these games because of that, and because I’m not so great at the being social part. So I’m trying to change that.

I’m basically a beginner when it comes to this stuff, so go easy on me. That said, I hope there’s a guild out there for me!

Hiya, robosaurus! Welcome to being social. =P I think my guild, Ember Solace, would be a good fit, because we’re incredibly newbie friendly. We actually have a Newbie Officer in the guild who specializes in helping beginners. Plus, many of our members love running dungeons and doing other PvE stuffs with newbies. We’re super friendly and patient, and we love explaining things and offering help with gear choices, personal story quests, build advice, etc.

If you’d like to know more about us, we have a recruitment thread and you can visit our forums. If you register on our forums, you can get read access to our GW2 sub-forums, so you can see if we do the kinds of activities you like and if the community seems friendly enough, before you decide if you want to fill out an application. (We use the app to screen out elitists and stuffs to make sure the guild stays friendly and helpful.) Hope to see you on the forums soon! ^^

Greetings Robosaurus,

Welcome to the social side of MMO’s. It can definitely enhance your gaming experience when you have people to talk and play with.

My guild is called The Gryphons Aerie and we’re a smaller, casual yet social, 18+ PvE/RP family on Tarnished Coast. We run on mostly an EST time frame but we do have several west coast, European and Asian time zone members.

Knowledge of and/or participation in RP is not required.
We’ll teach you if you want to learn, but there’s no pressure. Some of our members also enjoy WvsW/sPvP (although we don’t have a regular WvsW showing) and we do have our own sPVP arena. We also have a variety of member-hosted events that change every week.

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. Just leave a little note to let us know you’ll be away, and all is well.

We are focused on providing a place where people can feel comfortable and as though they are more than just a name on the roster. We want everyone to feel like family.
We are very LGBTQ friendly (with several members of the leadership being either part of the community or allies of it) and do not tolerate any sort of derogatory words, comments, etc. We’re also willing to help out with any and all questions as best as we can, whether it’s dungeons/Fractals (which I love to help teach), builds, and other general game questions. We also don’t do the “speed runs”, exploits, etc, nor require anyone to bring a specific class or build for any dungeon run. Bring whatever you want and we’ll have fun regardless.

Don’t worry about trying to transfer right away or even at all if you’re not on Tarnished Coast (unless you’re on an EU server, then it gets a little complicated). Feel free to guest with us as long as you want. You’ll still be able to join with us for dungeons and even Fractals.

There is 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 also have a TeamSpeak 3, but it’s use is on a purely optional basis. Most of our chatter is on the guild channel.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop me a note or contact me in game and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Greetings, traveler!

My name is Telana Dentari, humble emissary from the guild called Remnants of Hope. For generations, war and chaos raged across the land of Tyria. Five races competed and warred against each other, struggling to tip the balance of power in their favor. In Guild Wars 2, we participate in PvE, PvP and RP on the Tarnished Coast server.

What aspects of the game do we focus on, you might ask?

Remnants of Hope wants to give you the opportunity to build your own playstyle. This means we offer PvE, PvP/WvW and RP. You are free to play the way you want! Don’t care for PvE but love PvP? Go for it! Not so hot for either PvE or PvP but want to really immerse yourself in your character through role-play? Not a problem. Whether you’re casual, semi-hardcore, or hardcore, we’re right there with you. We don’t limit ourselves to one thing that the game has to offer, but all fields that we can conquer as an ever-growing community. Our focus is far from linear like some guilds might be, and we will make the best of everything we’re given!

We hold many in game events such as PvE dungeons, group role-play, PvP, and WvW. While role-play is not required of anyone who joins, we have many talented role-players and writers who work together to create a brilliant and immersive experience both in game and on our forums. Whether you prefer to weave your character’s legendary tale as part of our turn-based forum role-play or to bring it to action during in-game events, role-players of all types will find a welcome home in our halls. In addition to this, we also promote free writing on our forums and even hold writing contests to share stories both within the GW2 universe and beyond!

If you are interested in joining the Remnants of Hope, stop by our website and submit an application! http://www.remnantsofhope.com/gw2. Have further questions? I’d love to answer them!

Safe travels!

Ack I’m sorry I forgot to mention that I’m on Seafarer’s Rest – I don’t know how much difference that makes.

Seafarer’s Rest is a European server, so you couldn’t use the Guest feature to visit any North American servers. All three of us who replied to you (me, Aria, and Telana) lead guilds on Tarnished Coast, which is a North American server. You could still join a North American guild, and hang out in guild chat, and even do dungeons together, but you couldn’t guest over for things like Guild Missions.

You could transfer, though, if you saved up enough gold/IRL money. If you’re not looking to transfer, though, you could open a new LFG topic and put SF in the title in the hopes of attracting some Seafarer’s Rest guilds. =)

Good luck in your search, and if you do decide to transfer to an NA server, I hope you keep Ember Solace in mind. =)

Unfortunately, those on EU servers are unable to do dungeons with NA players (i’ve tried…).

I wish you the best of luck in finding a good place to call home. If you do end up transferring, all three of us who posted here would still love to have you
