The Tyrian Old Guard [TOG] (a guild under The Older Gamers organization) is a large and active community of players over the age of 25. TOG is a casual guild due to both our ages and circumstances. Our twitch skills, reflexes, speed of thought, or memory retention may have faded. Or our jobs, families, and responsibilities may limit our practice and dedication. But as a mature community the results are less stressful, more enjoyable, and competition is not allowed to escalate beyond friendly ribbing. TOG is an international community with the largest concentration of our players in the North American, Australian, and European time zones, with the vast majority of our membership on the Yak’s Bend server. TOG organizes multiple Guild Mission events each week and provides a TeamSpeak server for cooperative play, competitive play, and socializing. We also have an active guild forum where members can share builds, plan events, seek assistance, and optimize their GW2 experience.
You do not have to represent TOG exclusively. However, you are expected to represent the TOG ethos and integrity standards even when under a different guild tag, and even in other games. In order to get full event rewards and to facilitate communications and organization, we do ask you represent TOG during Guild Missions. Absentee members (currently defined as a month of inactivity) are periodically removed so that we don’t exceed capacity, but you can reapply when you return to the game.
HOW TO APPLY
IMPORTANT: Application for guild membership is a TWO step process. FIRST, you must create an account and apply in “The Barracks” (a public forum at http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/barracks/) Don’t forget to read the STICKY posts at the top of that forum. After you have been accepted into “The Older Gamers” organization you’ll then have access to the various divisions (games). So your SECOND step is to apply to the “Guild Wars 2” division under the MMORPG forums at http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/guild-wars-2/ (again, the STICKY posts will have important instructions to guide you in this process and to document the resources TOG offers).
You can reach me in game, and if I’m not locked in a life-and-death struggle in WvW or Fractals, I’ll try to answer any questions. You can also reach out to one of our many guild officers who cover the various time zones. We look forward to seeing you in game!
