Guild Wars 2

About Cognitive Dissidents:

Cognitive Dissidents was founded by myself and my husband during our time in Guild Wars. My husband and I had been playing Guild Wars for 17 months when we decided to create a guild as we wanted to experience the other side of the game involving Guild management, hence the making of Cognitive Dissidents. The name “Cognitive Dissidents” is taken from a William Gibson book. In it there is a club called Cognitive Dissidents and my husband (being a fan of William Gibson) thought it would be a good name for a Guild. Cognitive Dissidents literally means “thinking differently” which is why we use the motto “Thinking Differently to Achieve a Common Goal”.

Since then my husband has moved away from Guild Wars and now plays Eve Online and I went on to play LOTRO where I met some amazing people and made some new friends along the way. However the guild still lives on but sadly depleted and it would give me nothing but pleasure to see the guild rebuilt from scratch and hopefully meet some more amazing people and bring [COG] back to life.

Sadly, my husband will not be joining me in Guild Wars 2, so I have decided to rebuild the guild by teaming up with a friend who has already helped me in so many ways on my journey through LOTRO. During the beta weekend events we have been residing on the Whiteside Ridge EU server and we are hoping to be able to remain on that server at launch.

Our Goals:

Our main goals are to have fun exploring the world whilst maintaining a family friendly environment. We do have an over 18 policy but we will make the exception to any family and friends that wish to join the guild. Of course we will be taking part in dungeons/raiding/instances but on a casual basis, having fun even if we wipe, where no one gets blamed but it all being part of the learning curve. Not rushing through the game but taking our time to experience the beauty of the world, and helping guild members to achieve their goals.

If you’re looking for a place to call home, that’s casual and family friendly, helpful and social then visit our website: www.cogdis.eu

We also use vent as our preferred method of communication during events.

We have recently moved from our previous guild launch hosting to enjin hosting. Our address is still the same: http://www.cogdis.eu

Despite the move we are still recruiting. So if you’re looking for a place to call home where you’re not forced to log in at certain times, or are fed up of guilds that request you join x amount of dungeons/raids/instances a week otherwise you’re out, then we might be what you’re looking for.

Feel free to pm me in game for more information. Or visit our website to apply to the guild.

We are starting to do weekly guild runs, either dungeons, sPvP or WvW which have been a lot of fun to do, however we are still relatively small and looking to increase our nnumbers. Although we are a casaul guild we do have a small group of members that are online on everyday.

We’ve made a few changes to our website over the past week or so along with a slight change to the way that we are recruiting people into the guild. Please refer to our Rules section on http://www.cogdis.eu to see these changes
