Guild Wars 2

I’m a bit nervous since I’m usually not very social, but I’m pretty bored of playing by myself. I have alts I want to level, but I want to do so with some company, maybe even run dungeons or shoot for a legendary sometime. I want to be in a close-knit guild, with people who are accepting of all sorts ( I belong to the LGBTQ area of life, so any homophobia or conflict in that area is something I want to avoid, and I don’t want to hide who I am at all times - that’s a lot of work ). I also am not necessarily a hardcore player, since I have to take time off sometimes in order to work - I draw commissions for a living, so I have to be absent for days or weeks at a time here and there - so a casual atmosphere is nice. I don’t like to PvP, but I’d like to zerg around in wvwvw occasionally. Really I’m up to do anything if you’re patient with me, since I don’t have the best computer, so sometimes I can’t keep up with the "elite" bunch. If all of that sounds like your guild, I’d love to be part of it, so please allow me to join. ^^

Hi Tetraethyl,

I’m the leader of the Guild of the Blade and Rose. We’re nominally based on Stormbluff Isle, but we’re recruiting from all servers. We’re an equal-opportunity/non-discriminatory guild. Two of our past leaders are gay, and one of our current officers is trans, so it’s not just something we say! We take players of all skill levels and activity levels. We’re not the largest guild, but we’re in the process of rebuilding and we’re looking to maintain our close-knit, family-like atmosphere. You sound like you’d be a good fit in [BaR]! Our guild rules and history are available on our website (blade-and-rose.enjin.com). If you’d like to join us, you can contact me either here on the forums or in-game. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sounds like a good idea ^^
Should I also join the enjin forums too? I have tons of screenshots I can contribute xD

Yes, please! That’s our main way to coordinate.

Greetings Tetra,

Maybe my little home will suit your needs. I run a smaller guild called The Gryphons Aerie. We’re a 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/Oceanic 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, bigotry etc. toward anyone regardless of nationality, race, religious beliefs, gender or sexuality.

We’re 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. All you need to do is ask. 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.

We do not demand 100% representation.
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 the majority (only 51%) of your time, if you can.

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.

For more information…

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.

Well I think it’ll be good to be a part of more than one guild – the more friends, the better xD
So I’ll message you too, when I get in-game.
