[NA]The Enclave - Seeking WvW Focused Players
[ Requirements ]
TeamSpeak 3 » TS3 is our VOIP of choice. If you’re one of those kittens who insists on using Skype for everything you probably don’t belong in our guild.
Good Attitude » I’ll take a mediocre player with a great attitude over a phenomenal player with a bad attitude. You can always teach a bad player how to be good but you can’t teach a rat how to not be a rat.
Thick Skin » Our guild is very politically incorrect and we do not censor people’s opinions, bad jokes or comical kittenation. If you can’t handle profanity or adult subjects you would be better suited in another guild.
[ About ]
The Enclave is a gaming organization that has been in existence since 1998. Since then we have played and succeeded in a multitude of games. From PlanetSide to World of Warcraft The Enclave has left it’s mark and is either loved or hated by the communities we’ve been a part of. Leadership strives to keep TE competitive yet fun. Drama is squashed out and never given a chance to cause harm. Despite the fact that we’re a serious guild we do not force members to raid or PvP if they do not want to since we understand that not every members joins for the same experience. We do our best to meet the expectations of all members and all that we ask for in return is dedication and that you do your best.
[ Goals ]
Victory » Our motivation stems from an unrelenting desire to dominate. Our enemies immediately recognize the true opposition. It’s always us.
Legacy » Over a decade has passed since our inception. Even with the strain of time we remain an active, ambitious community. The foundation of our strength lies within our collaborative efforts. We seek to achieve excellence because at the end of the day The Enclave strives to do more than simply play the game, but to be a part of its legacy. To be honored by tales that will carry on long after us. To be immortalized in the history of the game.
Growth » No guild survives without recruits. We actively seek like-minded players who have and share the same drives and desires as us. We do our best to ensure new recruits fit in and become core members.
Fun » Despite how serious this all may sound, our primary focus is always to have fun. This is a game, and we realize that. Having an ire of professionalism does not mean we sacrifice the core of why we do what we do. If we’re not having fun, there’s no point to any of this.
[ Values ]
Dedication » This is very important in order to keep our guild effective and relevant. A dedicated group will always come out the victor in battles and always be ready and willing to approach new and challenging content. So long as our members stay dedicated our guild will always be relevant.
Teamwork » Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common goal and the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is this fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. Getting good players is easy. Getting them to play together is the hard part.
Loyalty » The greater the loyalty of individuals toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability the group will achieve its goals. The true depth of our loyalty can be seen in the history of The Enclave and the number of members who have left and returned, unable to find a similar bond elsewhere.
Excellence » Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character. We are no different. In The Enclave, we constantly practice, refine, and improve upon everything we can in order to maintain our skill. The only way to be the best is by constantly striving to beat your previous best.

[ Why The Enclave is Successful ]
Organization » The Enclave is a large guild. We have extensive experience from various other games with organizing a large amount of people into an effective group. That is what separates us apart from other guilds of the same size. Raids are scheduled and events planned. You always have something to do in The Enclave and our numbers ensure this.
Longevity » A lot of guilds either didn’t exist or failed to operate as a cohesive unit after the “big” MMOs started to go south. The Enclave never ceased to be and has steadily grown and improved over the years. When you join The Enclave you’re not just joining an amazing guild but you’re joining a gaming community with a bright and promising future.
Experience » The Enclave has never had a change in leadership and since 1998. There are no power struggles or drama here and the leadership certainly doesn’t play favorites when it comes to policy, strategy or loot. Many of it’s members are MMO veterans from EQ, DAoC, and WoW so we know these types of games inside and out.
Fun » We all play games for fun. It is the job of Enclave leadership to not only ensure that our guild runs are smooth, organized and effective but that our style of play remains fun for each and every member. We have managed to strike a balance between effective and fun and know exactly how to make sure that when you log on to play with us you’re going to get exactly what you want out of this game and our guild.
[ Expectations ]
Visit Our Forums Regularly » The forums are our community. It is where we share our information, plans, strategies, make announcements, and many other matters of importance. Every member is expected to visit the forums on a regular basis to stay caught up on events and topics. Ten minutes every so often and a few posts here and there is not much to ask and goes a long way to having a well informed and healthy group.
Always On TS3 When In Our Group » Voice communication is absolutely vital to teamwork and strategy in-game. Every member that is in a guild group is expected to be on TS3 at all times. Even members who do not talk much or have broken mics have no excuse not to be on to listen to instructions and coordinate with group leaders.
Active For Guild Events » The Enclave is an organized guild that schedules a lot of events and the success of those events depends on the activity of the guild’s membership. While you’re not required to come to every raid or meeting we expect you to at least make an effort to attend some.
Eager To Learn » Don’t apply to this guild if you think that you already know everything there is to know and that learning is no longer possible. Every day we play we learn something new and are constantly refining our strategy and style.
Team Player » You are expected to work together with other members of the guild towards a common goal. Despite the solo friendly nature of most modern MMO games you will at some point need to work together to achieve greatness. We need you to be willing and able to do that.
Class Knowledge » This skill is very important in MMORPG games. All members should know how their class works inside and out.
Responsibility » Don’t make excuses, if you screw up man up to it and move on. None of us are perfect. If you make a mistake inquire as to how it happened and work on improving.
[ PvP Philosophy ]
The Enclave has always taken PvP seriously. Our roots are in competitive gaming and it shows when we PvP. We like to win and do everything it takes to win. Knowledge is just as important as skill to us when it comes to PvP and we do everything we can to ensure that we always remain competitive. In WoW The Enclave fielded multiple 2200+ arena teams and was home to numerous Gladiators. In DAoC we took control of as many territories in the frontiers as possible and did everything we could to push our faction forward towards enemy relics. If the game had PvP we took it seriously.
Being a PvP player in The Enclave means you have to keep your character, knowledge and drive current and ahead of the game.

If you’re looking for a solid wvw guild, join up.
We regularly crush the souls of poor unsuspecting FA and SoS zergs. If you want to also crush the souls of the other T2 servers, join up!
I played with these guys in Planetside 2 and now in Guild Wars 2. The Enclave is the end all be all of organized guilds. If you wanna have a blast and a group of people you can play with for the foreseeable future then The Enclave is for you.
If you enjoy working working towards goals with a team of like-minded people then you should check us out.
I joined this guild in Planetside 2 and have not looked back. This is far and away the best guild overall I’ve ever played with in my gaming career.
In a short amount of time in this game we have made tremendous strides and continue to do so on a nightly basis.
I’ve been with The Enclave for several years now and have been thoroughly enjoying the community. The Enclave is a community of team players, organization and longevity. They have a great commitment to improvement and organized play.
I’ve been with The Enclave since 2003. I can’t imagine playing an MMO without them. You will never find a more drama free, serious group of PVPers anywhere. If you find winning fun, you’ve come to the right place.
This group has become an integral part of how I enjoy MMOs: “the number of members who have left and returned, unable to find a similar bond elsewhere.” This statement is so true, that I play with this group from across the world. The experience is just too valuable and fun to me.
I’ve been playing with The Enclave since 2012. Once you play with a group that plays every game with the level of organization and dedication that [TE] does; you won’t be able to play with another group.
Still need more.
Seriously, if you play Guild Wars 2 to get into huge fights AND WIN in wvw, this is the guild for you. We killed an entire map zerg of like 80 people tonight with 32 people.
This is an awesome group to run with. Superior leadership and strategy, as well as a no guild drama are a HUGE selling point for me.
Like winning? Join the Enclave. It’s a quality guild for those with thick skin.
Yes, thick skin.
Looking for more!
Raiding again Monday!
I joined up with The Enclave back when we were all still playing World of Warcraft. I can honestly say this is by far the best gaming community I’ve ever been a part of.
SCHEDULE:
MONDAY: WvW 8PM – 11PM EST
TUESDAY: WvW 8PM – 11PM EST
WEDNESDAY: NOTHING OFFICIAL
THURSDAY: WvW 8PM – 11PM EST
FRIDAY: GUILD MISSIONS 8PM – 11PM EST
SATURDAY: NOTHING OFFICIAL
SUNDAY: NOTHING OFFICIAL
That is our schedule. Nothing is requires for you to attend and you do not need to stay for the duration. All that we really ask is you tag up and be in TeamSpeak when you are doing these events.
I joined The Enclave back in 2004/2005 and I have never looked back. This community is a tight nit group of people who are very dedicated to their craft. I see no reason to be a part of any other community as there is a reason we have been around since 1998 and have not changed leadership or had any kind of power struggle. This community will be around for many more years to come. If you want to win and enjoy a good fight, come join us.
BRB Shakeweight.
I watched The Enclave dominate in Panetside 2 and decided to join during the battlefield 4 phase and witnessed the rise to the top PvP guild on the server in World of Warcraft. Never once regretted my decision to join. We may be two years behind in experience and knowledge in Guild Wars 2 but but believe me when I say that we learn and adapt to our goals and needs fast thanks to our leadership. If Horriagn’s post interests you I guarentee that within the first day of world PvP you will learn very quickly if this group is for you or not.
Picked up a few more good guys. Need more!
Join us tomorrow on Yak’s Bend from 8-11 eastern for some WvW domination.
WvW Tonight 8-11 eastern. The Enclave is on Yak’s Bend.
If you like killing people and winning while being outnumbered The Enclave is for you.
Always looking for new blood!
This is the best group of guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. It’s been four years of great times and great people for me, but our history goes back far longer than that. If you want a community which spans the lifecycle of a game and will be there long after the game is a fond memory, the Enclave is for you.
Another ops night tonight at 8pm EST, Yak’s Bend, you won’t regret it. Unless you’re a pc social justice warrior…then just blog about something irrelevant and mindless.
Operations tonight at 8:00 pm. Look for the pin that says “Lord Horrigan” If you want to check us out. If you want to come fight us we’ll likely be in EBG.
Another good night of wvw.
Join and Win

for The Enclave
If you are interested in joining and are on Yak’s Bend, follow along in WvW with us. If you like what you see, join up. We just ask that you be on our TeamSpeak when we do events and register on our forums. Our forums are mainly used so we can keep in contact with one another. When you join us, you aren’t just joining a random guild to tag up every now and again. You are joining to be a part of a large gaming community that has been around since 1998.
Another great night of WvW. Outnumbered but never out of the fight.
Last night was a great day to be in the Enclave. We had a good turnout and were in EBG when we came up against a large FA force nearby Rogue Quarry. We started pushing them into the dredge tunnels, because we love the fight and we sure love chokepoints. In classic fashion a SoS group decided to capitalize on our supposed weakness. We ended up sandwiched between the two forces in the middle of the tunnels, but neither the FA or SoS groups could muster the strength to really hurt the force. Any other zerg would break under this pressure. Our group would focus on one of the groups, push them further into the tunnels, get half a dozen kills and then turn around to do the exact same to the next group who thought they could face us. Fighting through the dredge tunnels from Rogue Quarry to Stonemist the Enclave ended up slaughtering most of the SoS who thought they could take advantage of the situation and breaking the back of the FA group who were our original quarry.
The best part was that was one of a dozen fights last night, and the Enclave didn’t lose a single one.
If you love WvW you won’t be disappointed in the Enclave.

Still need more players! YB is a great server.
