Hey all!
Intro:
My name is Kaladir Lokharte, one of the core founders of Valour of the Forsaken [VoTF], a guild on the NA Sorrow’s Furnace Server. Our founding can be traced back all the way to the launch of Guild Wars 1, where myself and several others friends first toiled to claim a Guild Hall and make our mark in the Mists. Our members are tight-knit and have many have known each other for years now (some as much as 10, sticking together through multiple games). That said, we’re not a closed-off or impenetrable guild; the attitude and atmosphere is one of warmth and laid back fun, open and welcome to any and all.
Numbers:
Prior to HoT the guild had begun at 20 members and grew to over 200. Real life has cut back on our numbers, but we were never a guild looking to simply be large. Guilds are about bonds and connections with the people in them. We never lost sight of that, and now that many of our members are returning to the game we are looking to grow our currently active roster to numbers large enough to consistently do Raids with.
Focus:
Our core focus has always been to seek greater challenges. Guild Wars 2 does not have much to offer in that particular department, but that does not stop us all from simply enjoying the game. Whether it is casually roaming the map and doing events, leading and teaching the newly released Raids, guiding others through and conquering Fractals, or laughing it off in the trenches of sPvP, you can find [VoTF] members both casual and hardcore alike having fun together everywhere.
What We Want:
We’re looking to add more members who have a good attitude and are interested in doing/learning Fractals, Raids, Map Metas. You don’t have to be a hardcore player. Some of our members are (have legendaries, full ascended, do high level fractals) and some of our members are not (full exotic, have only tried low level fractals, never done a raid before in their life, prefer open world content). The only requirement is the interest in the content and willingness to learn and to work together in a friendly and fun environment!
We have some members who also enjoy sPvP and WvW now and again (and are quite good at it actually), but our core focus is the challenging content of PvE.
We want people interested in sharing in the experience of learning and beating the game’s content together. To grow in skill together until we can say “We did it guys!” at the final boss of the Raid. At the 100th Scale Fractal. At Dragon’s Stand, Triple Trouble, Verdant Brink, Auric Basic, and everywhere else we can find.
Closing:
In [VoTF], we all know that we are real people behind those game screens. People who have lives, families, bills, goals, etc. We don’t do drama and don’t want to add to anyone’s stress. We’re here to unwind, to have fun, and to feel the thrill of challenging ourselves in Guild Wars 2 together with friends. To have goofy conversations in Guild Chat, to help each other figure out a jumping puzzle, to run Guild Missions, to teach challenging content and to conquer it together, to cheer when a mate finishes a goal (such as legendary). We roam the world building Collections. We spend time in Fractals and Dungeons. We test our might in the Raid. And we chill out occasionally in sPvP.
More than anything, we’re about the support and the fun that make Guilds what they really are: a place to call home within the game world, and to make friends both in and out of it.
If interested, send me a whisper or mail in game, or leave a message here and I’ll get back to you. Thanks for reading! See you in the game guys.
