Hey all lore forum lurkers!

GW universe lore is something that really tickles my pickle, as it were. My desk is regularly filled with notes about updates, implications, connections. My outlet for these is my boyfriend, who is doing his best to absorb my lore outbursts as I drag him around Tyria in a manic frenzy. Poor guy.

What I was wondering is, is there a lore guild out there maybe? A dedicated separate lore forum out there? (Like the roleplaying one!) Or even folks who just love talking lore who I can party up with sometimes, chat about theories etc it would be great to make some new friends

Any responses are appreciated, if you don’t wish to post, feel free to PM me on here, or ingame. I’m always around!

As said, there is the guild I lead, The Archivists’ Sanctum [Lore] – most of us main Sanctum of Rall or Tarnished Coast servers but there are no requirements to join.

For forums, this one is the most active for discussing lore I know of, other than rp-dedicated fansites.

P.S. Infamous Darkness, you should join us too.

Thank you for the offer, but I’m already in another guild that I main, but if you’re willing to allow me to join without repping all the time I would be more than happy to join. (think I would have to drop a guild to join you, and I would do that tonight when I get home, if the offer still stands.)

Eh, servers don’t matter. We can do most of the stuff we need groups for together cross server, such as fractals and dungeons, and guesting is always a possibility if anything else is going on. We’re spread throughout. They mentioned a vast majority of them are on Sanctum of Rall, I’m personally on Isle of Janthir, and I know a lot of others vary as well.

I will say this, the Archivist’s Sanctum[lore], is a great group of awesome people and diverse personalities. Almost always a fun discussion going on, I think I’ve learned something new just about everytime we go off adventuring. I highly encourage anyone with a love of lore to check it out. Heck, they can put up with me…that makes them pretty cool in my book!

Also, I’m on TC, and we group up almost daily. Server isn’t an issue, neither is repping 100%(that’s just silly anyway) also, you can belong to up to 5 guilds.

Hi Konig, I’m quite interested in your guild LORE.

Over the past 400+ days since launch, I’ve always been intrigued by the beautifully crafted land of GW2. I loved almost all of the Vista and PoI. But it saddens me to see that there are minimal focus on telling the story to the players. The personal story idea was good, but it quickly turned bad after the battle on Claw Island, after my favourite character Magister Sieran died; having Trahearne to replace her is blasphemy. In the end, I couldn’t even finish my Personal Story, lost interest somewhere around level 76 story.

After that, I moved on and was distracted by the gameplay, speed running dungeons, champion farming, Trading Post flipping, stats building. I recently completed my first Legendary, Frostfang, and with the biggest goal out of the way, I started to get attracted by the lore again.

I’m curious to join your guild and see what it’ll feel like to immerse in GW2 stories. Nowadays I can almost never find people who are willing to do dungeons and watch the cutscenes…

*Note: I’m currently required to rep my main guild at most times, so is it acceptable that I hop on and off if I do get a guild invite?

I was just invited into [Lore] (after this thread started, mind you) and it’s a good thing to know there is some place I can go to when something lore-related is needed. Thanks for the invitation guys

@StevenMah
Two nights ago I was part of a “casual” PUG that did the new Aetherblade path of TA (if memory serves, all but me were inexperienced in it). We ended up clearing the dungeon, getting most of the achievements with relative ease (and far quicker than any of the “serious” groups i’d joined before …oh yeah, it took care of my dailies too). During the run we had the time to watch cutscenes (not that you can avoid them) discuss strategy and just joke around, sometimes IC and other times OoC. It was by far the most fun I ever had in GW2 and by the end of the run the running joke was “are we sure we’re casual?”

In the end, we had fun, got our rewards, made some money and enjoyed the game the way (I think) the game was meant to be enjoyed. Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the flowers I suppose

I’ve done so many dungeon explorables… I don’t think I’ve watched the cut scenes in any of them except this Aetherpath :P I really need to join in when they say they’re gonna do dungeons, lol. Especially if ArenaNet is gonna make a habit of just removing all the old paths…

I’m with StevenMah on this one. :P Every time I find a group running explorables, I almost feel too rushed to not skip the cutscenes as every time I do, it ends to almost all of my party mates up ahead. I’ve gotten used to having to skip and go back to read the dialogue in the chat window later >.>

I, myself, am very interested in [Lore]. Goes to show how much I pay attention but had I known there was a good lore-centric guild out there I would have sought them out sooner >.> I’ve been reading GW lore forums since about 2005 and being in a group of people that was more than my best friend and I that like the lore as much as I did? That’d be phenomenal.

Out of curiosity, how active is the guild nowadays? I was there several months ago, but at most there were four people online when I was… and guild missions were the thing back then, so I needed an active guild for that (still do).

It is lonely being 1 out of 500 interested on talking lore in guilds, most of the time they’re just my quick group finding assests than guildies I’m interested to talk or listen to.

If there’s no trouble with multiple repping -I rep TTS to get Tequatl kills, reason I had to leave my other guild actually just now- I’d be grateful to get an invite.

The guild is becoming more and more active – in no small part to this thread (thank you, Aisina!), and in US prime time there’re a lot of members online and actually repping. Also, if you need guild missions, we’ve a big and famous partner guild who actively recruits people, even if they only rep Saturday night after the reset for guild missions. So you’d be able to join them, too, without any difficulty.

Going to invite both you and ToPocHi once I log in.

A certain Archivist who I will not name (Rathlain >.> XD) has also joined TTS. Last time I checked I haven’t taken steps to correct this treasonous behavior… yet.

Just kidding… (shoot me please… the second time I used that phrase from the most hated and worst thing to happen to GW in a long time.)

Edit: ToPocHi, unfortunately we have no knowledge on that bloke. The same with the well-endowed young lady next to him or the angry-looking stone dwarf fellow. I guess just like so many cool things that were WAY better pre-launch, that trio got ditched as well.

Not really my jurisdiction, but I don’t want the moderators to shut/move this thread to Guild Recruitment, so you guys should just send in-game messages to the officers (whom I’ve noted and they’ve made themselves known). As for the TTS repping, [Lore] has never really been a one guild repping…guild. Which is in part why we are no where near capacity, or able to unlock guild missions (we’ve got some bounty trainings, I think). But it would help activity if you did rep [Lore] when you play, because then there will be others to talk to/increase activity, rather than 30 people in the guild, 11 online, and 3 repping, with 2 of them in our home server. Yes, those were dark times

On another note: apparently I should go out of town more often… I think when edus joined was also when I left for a bit… The guild expands when I’m not there (do you guys dislike me? ).

There was an average of 6 folks online and repping except at dark dark nighttime hours (like 2 am US time), cannot wait to see how many more when I get back Monday.
