[Quick teaser on guild culture]
Active Community
Join the groups! Get progression and the interaction on the content that you love. Events and activities in all three game types for Guild Wars 2, hosted by your guild, with a 0% rep policy. Adult teamspeak presence with little shame, and active off-hours discussion.
Daily & Weekly Schedule
A successful menu of events for both casual and progressive core. WvW, raid, and leagues for the consistent players, with consistent guild daily groups for the casuals. Three years of guild-hosted events has kept the Rakk community busy (and wealthy!).
The Raid Core
Tuesday R&D (training) and Thursday Core, casual and progression respectively. Some take raiding a little bit more seriously, and some others just prefer to have fun and need an excuse to drink. Either way, each group is organized by veterans who keep the focus on expectations.
WvW, Gate of Madness
Proud to represent GoM with wvw missions, dailies, and server events. As one of many active wvw guilds on our server, Rakkenheid coordinates with GoM communities for tier progression. Builds and compositions are open, though situational awareness is required!
About the Guild
Rakkenheid has been running since 2010, keeping a strong player core with a progressive model. Most of the community plays Guild Wars 2, in all three game types: WvW on Gate of Madness, Raid progression in Spirit Vale, and SPvP with Team Crutch.
The community is active in game and out. Social media and a voice server keep members connected with changes, events, and casual chat. The majority of Rakkenheid’s success as a guild has come from the community’s connective culture.
From here, Rakkenheid is extending out to a heavier server presence in wvw with zerg-busting and map clears. Raid progression will push through to the new raid wings, focusing on a dedicated core and plenty of training spots for carry nights.
Guild Events
Guild events run throughout the week, covering Guild Wars’ main game types, along with player- created content. Most content is open to the public, those outside of the guild, though most of World vs World is limited to those on Gate of Madness.
All events start at 10pm EST, and usually last for 3-4 hours thereafter.
Dailies are hosted by Rakkenheid, groups running dailies in WvW, dungeon and fractal dailies, and and quick PvP dailies in the guild’s private room. These usually start at 9pm EST and continue after the day’s main event.

Ranks and Rights
Keeping things simple, when it comes to ranks and rights, has made life a lot easier in the Rakkenheid community. Currently, there’s only one rank, no officer-ship, and no rep policy. With matters of the game, much of the guild rights are open to the community. Members can start their own events, guild missions, claim objectives, scribe and decorate as they please.
There is, however, a recognition of both veteran and core within the Rakk community. Raid spots, for example, favor those who are more familiar and reliable within the guild. This being said, Rakkenheid prides itself with keeping cliques out of general guild activity.
Guild Diversity
Having a maxed guild means that there’s going to be a lot of different types of players. Without a doubt, over the years, Rakkenheid has had plenty of diversity in both its casual and core roster. Our goal is to attract, develop and retain the best and brightest from all player backgrounds. This requires a guild to have a culture of inclusion where all individuals feel respected, are treated fairly, provided casual/core balance, and an opportunity to progress in their chosen game types.
