Guild Wars 2

First of all I’d like to extend my sincere admiration towards ArenaNet for making an MMO that, in my point of view, can be regarded as the best one in the genre thus far and will serve as a benchmark for any new game to emerge within this type of game.

Having played WoW for 3,5 years myself I can safely say that GW2 is far better in terms of summoning that sense of wonder and desire to explore as you’re walking around the landscape rather than having endless grindfests and perform fetch and gather quests for mindless NPCs.

That having been said, I would like to ask a question (apologies up front if it’s been asked before but I could not track down a related topic): Will there be a Guild recruiting board or something along these lines, like a board where new players can present themselves to the GW2 community?

I somewhat doubt it, think people would just use the channels in game to recruit and seemingly do so far. If people want a guild their first point of call is within game. I could be wrong of course.

Aside from that it would be nice to see this forum expanded to have more sub-boards for discussions.

I agree, atm these forums are rather minute. More extensive subdivisions (a profession board, a crafting board etc) would certainly be a welcome addition.

I expect (but not holding my breath) that what would be more likely would be server sub-forums, then in there you may have the option to guild recruit. I am not sure if they would actually make guild recruitment boards.

They have said they will be expanding the forums in the future, and there was a guild sub-forum during the beta weekends. For an official respone:

Much appreciated for the information as supplied. It’s so relaxing to see a company that actually takes the time and effort to send out employees onto the official forum to talk to people in the community.

Applaudes wildly

There’s also quite a few fan sites where guilds are advertised.

I went that route because I wanted to get into a guild right from the start but I’ve had bad luck with random recruiters in-game. I wanted to try and find a guild with some requirements, but requirements that suited me, and it’s much easier to do that with scrolling through a list.
