Guild Wars 2

So I played at release and for about six months? But then some nasty stuff in life happened and I just happened not to play for about a year. I think the last time I played was the past winter event. Things have since calmed down and I’m looking to get back into the game. I’m pretty displaced and out of the loop as far as updates go, but I’m learning the changes.
Looking to find a guild to learn and grow in, make some friends.

Me:
23 yo
USA, EST
Tarnished Coast
returning player
Main 80 Necro, 5 alts in 20s, trying to pick a main alt
Has focused on soloing PvE in the past, wants to branch out to WvW, PvP, & dungeons
Wants to get better at the game overall
Will be dedicated and helpful to a guild I like
Works part-time at fluctuating hours and is also stuck living at home. Online time and voice availablity subject to change.
LGBT
Interested in Lore, concept exploration, & RP
willing to get necessary programs and forum accounts
has Enjin & Mumble already, tumblr also a means of contact

Ideal Guild:
TC native
Medium size, small enough to get to know some members but also active at a variety of hours
Ok with helping players who are inexperienced and a touch shy
PvX
Semi Casual
LGBT friendly a must (I don’t mind explaining stuff but don’t be a jerk ok)
RP community a plus, can be side or main focus
Fun & friendly, minimal rudeness
Not mega intense about representing, I’ll rep but I might hop around to other guilds too, it depends

That’s about all I can think of atm so send me some message on forum, in game, or post on the thread. grab me on skype if you want @ strychninemime. just specify who you are and why you are contacting me or I’ll ignore you as a spammer

Heya, Mimejuice. The LGBT thing caught my eye, since I’m a member of the LGBTQ community, and the guild I’m in, Remnants of Hope, is really LGBTQ-friendly. We have several LGBTQ members, some of whom are Department Officers, and I’m on the Elder Council of the guild.

We’re on TC, and we’re small to medium with lots of active people who play across different times. We’re also very helpful for inexperienced players; we have low-level events often and enjoy helping out guildies by running content or explaining things or just talking. We don’t allow anyone to be jerks to any groups, and definitely not to LGBTQ people. It’s completely safe to be out in the guild, and just the other day I had a conversation in guild chat with some other LGBTQ members about slash pairings in RP, so it’s not something that has to be hidden, either.

We have a solid RP community with regular in-game RP (you can check out our calendar here) and RP opportunities on the forums. We’re definitely not too serious, and we pride ourselves on having fun (like the Amazing Race event we did a couple weeks ago and the silliness that happens in TeamSpeak).

The only thing is that we require 100% rep. I know you said you might hop to other guilds, but since we seem to offer so much (all?) of what you want, I thought I’d take a chance and reach out to you. I’d really love to have more LGBTQ people in the guild. But if the 100% rep thing is a deal breaker, I understand.

If you’re still interested, you can stop by our forums and check out our application. =)

Thanks Aidyn. I’ll definitely take a look at the website and decide sometime this week if I want to apply (got some other stuff to handle first). Sounds good so far. 100% rep isn’t necessarily a deal breaker, my older guilds are pretty quiet these days.

To anyone else viewing, I’ll still hear more offers. Ideally I’d like to compare a few guilds.

Thought I’d come back and see how you’re doing. It’d be great to see you apply with us, but whatever you choose, I hope you find a solid guild. =)

Greetings Mimejuice,

If you haven’t yet found a home, I might have what you’re looking for.

My guild is called The Gryphons Aerie and we’re a smaller, casual yet social, LGBT friendly (several members and officers are part of the community), 18+ PvE/RP family on Tarnished Coast. Some of our members also enjoy WvsW/sPvP and we do have our own arena. Knowledge of and/ or participation in RP is not required. We’ll teach you if you want to learn, but there’s no pressure.

We know that RL comes first and stress that fact. We’ll still be there even if you can’t for a bit of time.

We are currently working on building up a solid core of pve players, but there are still a few around who would be more than happy to help teach you if you want to learn and have a little patience. We enjoy helping each other and doing things together when possible. All you have to do is ask if you need help with something and we’ll do our best to come to your aid.

Don’t worry about trying to transfer right away or even at all. Feel free to guest with us as long as you want. You’ll still be able to join with us for dungeons and even Fractals (which I will be more than happy to teach). if you decide you want to transfer, we’ll help you get the funds you need to do so.

There is also no requirement to be representing us at all times. It’s not our business to tell you who you can and cannot associate with; that choice is yours alone. All we ask is that you give us some time too.

We also have a TeamSpeak 3, but it’s use is on a purely optional basis. Most of our chatter is on the guild channel.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop me a note or contact me in game (Aria Silverfyre) and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Hey Mimejuice,

Shards of the Crystal Caverns is a brand new LGBT guild on TC, we are currently a really small guild but we are trying to grow. We are a dedicated PVX guild. If you want to know more you can either message me in game: zidane.5194 or go to Shards of the Crystal Caverns

Have a great day and welcome back.

Guild leaders and officers, I may want to try each of these guilds out before I choose who to stick with as a main guild. I would like to apply for all three of you and make my decision after having a taste of each guild experience. Would that be acceptable?

Also can I get a quick estimate of the gender representation in each guild? Ideally, I would like to be part of a guild with a fair balance of women at least. If there are genderq/ueer or nonbinary members that would also be amazing. Just a relative ratio, if you would like to disclose such information.

I’ll send you a PM.
