Guild Wars 2

<Swords for Everyone> (Tarnished Coast) is a gaming community for individuals who suffer from social anxiety (or other similar social disorders). Our goal, as a group, is threefold:

1.) Offer members a safe place to play the game. We want to create a constructive environment that considers and understands the issues and needs of those with social anxiety. We seek to help individuals explore aspects of the game they have previously been unable to experience by giving them the means and tools they need to do so.

2.) Positively impact our members’ lives, provide them with a social outlet, and help them to develop and establish meaningful out-of-game relationships.

3.) Aid members in alleviating or improving some of their anxiety-related issues through activities and interaction both in-game and out.

We’re looking for individuals who want to be involved in a guild experience, who are interested in meeting new people and playing the game with others, and who are willing to try and step out of their comfort zone and help themselves. We’re looking for people who get nervous and sweaty entering queues or joining games, who have trouble with voice chat, who are afraid to even apply to guilds, but, most importantly, who want to try and change some of that.

We’re primarily interested in active players. Previous experience with the game is not required or expected— we’re happy to instruct and develop newcomers.

To apply, visit swordsforeveryone.org. Feel free to contact me in-game at cantafrond.1520.

Come help us rebuild!

Still looking for more!

Come take back Lion’s Arch with us!

Still recruiting!

Wow! Seems interesting. How many members do you guys have? Do you use TS?

I’m in a guild already, but as someone who suffers from social anxiety I just want to mention that I think this is a wonderful idea and I hope it can help some other folks out and feel safe and included. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for the support, guys.

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but our activity in GW2 is pretty abysmal right now (which is why we’re recruiting). Overall, we’ve got about 25-30 activity members, primarily in WoW.

And we do use Mumble for certain events that require extra coordination, but we don’t expect anyone to use a mic or talk or anything like that. Listening in is just fine.

You guys active in WoW too? What realm?
