Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

I played GW1 a bit way back in the day, but just picked up GW2 a couple weeks ago. So far I have a level 30 Ranger and a level 8 Ele on the Sanctum of Rall server. My main priority is getting through the game and exploring everything it has to offer, and during this it would be cool to have a relaxed group of people to help show me the ropes, or people to level and explore with. Whether it’s useful exploring or running to our deaths is sort of irrelevant, as long as it’s fun. Once I get a more firm grasp on the game I’d like to jump into PvP or WvW (or anything else really). But since exploring the world is what I’m doing now, I’d like to join a casual PvE or PvX guild. If any guilds in the SoR server think I’d be a good fit, shoot me a message. Thanks!

Hello Systm! Welcome to GW2! It sounds like MadCast could be the right fit for you, but there are many great communities out there, and I hope you find the right one for you! It is much more fun with friends. ^^

My guild, MadCast Gaming, is on Sanctum of Rall, so sounds like we are already a good fit there. MadCast is a gaming community that is bigger than GW2, but we are working on growing our GW2 sector right now. You can check out our website at http://www.madcastgaming.com. I especially suggest you look through the forums some to get a feel for what we are all about, and the other games we play! Here are some points you may find attractive about MadCast:

• We have a mature community. While MadCast has no specific age requirements we do have high expectations for maturity. You will find kind, patient people and no drama. The vast majority of our members are over 18 (especially in GW2). Most of our GW2 members are older with careers, and many have families and children. We understand the RL priorities that come with being an adult.

• We are a serious community with casual gameplay. In other words, the main expectations we have for members revolves around positive contribution to the community and not on a packed GW2 schedule attendance. If you are active in the forums and just show up to a few times a week, that is good enough for us. Additionally, because we are casual our community is made out of all levels of players. We have many very new players, some new to gaming in general, and our environment is built on kindness and helpfulness. People will be happy to answer you questions and guide you through things no matter how basic or advanced.

• We have a super awesome, active TeamSpeak group. We enforce strict rules of respectfulness and tolerance among our players, making it a safe friendly place for everyone. People of all types feel comfortable joining in the conversation and making new friends. You are very welcome to just listen if you are shy or can’t talk for whatever reason.

• Our community is bigger than in-game. We have a website with a lot of activity and heavy forum use. This is a huge asset because we have people who play all kinds of games over at MadCast, and the forums really serve as the uniting factor among people.

If you check out our website, you will see information about becoming a Full Member of MadCast. This is not something you need to do right away. Our guild welcomes ‘Associate’ Members, meaning we will add you to the guild, you are free to use our TeamSpeak and join our Forums, but you do not have complete access rights for inviting people to the guild yourself, or accessing certain Full Member parts of our forum. This is a good way to find out if MadCast is the right fit for you before applying. In the long run, to gain any ranking position, we require people to be an official MadCast Full Member.

If you want to, I would encourage you to join us in our TeamSpeak (you can find information about that here: http://www.madcastgaming.com/ips/topic/5177-intro-madcast-teamspeak-3-server/). Alternatively, you can private message me in game, and I would be happy to add you in to one of our parties. If you need someone to show you the ropes and help you level, the guild would be really happy to help you out! Most nights at around 8 PM EST we group up to run through daily achievements together and help our lower level players level or do map completion. It’s a good way to meet people.

If you have any questions you can message me in game, post here, or join our forums and ask there. If you are in-game currently, I’m sorry I will not be in game until around 6 PM EST due to my work schedule, but you can post on our forums or reply here and I will get to it sooner. Good luck finding a place for you! <3
