Guild Wars 2

Sorry for the odd title, can only have 45 characters. =(

Hi friends. I’m looking for a small group of players. Even one would be great, but anyone interested is welcome. Also, I am in the EST time zone and usually play week nights between 6pm and 10pm or on weekends.

The goal would be to level characters, at each individual’s own pace, with a few restrictions in place. Of course, as the title indicates, I’ll be roleplaying in the process. In-character details can be hammered out later, though.

1) The first is permadeath. You die, you die.

If you die, the character’s gone. Or you make a new one to do the challenge with at the very least, if you want to continue and have open slots but don’t want to delete the character.

There are a few reasons for this. First, I think it will make the experience a lot more interesting and change the way I and other approach the game. Also, I think it will add a lot to how we interact as group/guild mates, making protecting each other mean a lot more.

2) Gear restriction as well. No trading post.

Well, not exactly NO trading post. You can sell things on it. You can buy certain things on it like Runes/Sigils, maybe food, just not armor/weapons/trinkets. I’d really like, if a few people decide to join me, to be mostly self-sufficient, making everything we use and helping each other with it or finding what we use at Heart NPCs/by looting chests and mobs.

Also, no trading gear from other characters.

3) The final hard restriction is a Map restriction. No maps.

This is inspired by Wooden Potatoes. No maps. No mini map (you can get rid of it with the ICM which I can help you with if necessary so that it only turns off the map and doesn’t force you into its combat mode), no world map (I even unbound my world map, personally). This is to allow for more immersion into the game world. We can find our ways without the map. I know many spots in Tyria pretty well, but certainly not all of it since I got the point in map completion that I would just stare at my map. But really, this is more about paying more attention to the game world than to the map.

We can use maps in major cities (DR, LA, etc). We can use Scout NPCs. But no world map or mini map outside of a major city.

Of course this is all on the honor system, but I really do hope someone is interested in trying it out with me! Please post here, send me a message here, or catch me in-game. Alternatively, you can also post in my thread at http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com/home/m/2737230/viewthread/22418073-something-bit-different-details-within.

Thank you.
