Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m pretty new around here (Level 38 Ranger) and I’m on the Devona’s Rest server. I don’t know if this is the right place to post this or not, so if I’m wrong please point me in the right direction, thanks.

I’m looking for a guild that is cool with someone who isn’t a super active player- by that I mean I am not on a whole lot and sometimes might have to log off in the middle of things. I have an active home life and I try to only get on at night, which will reduce the frequency of logging off, since I won’t be changing diapers, or other fun stuff. I’m just looking to make this experience more fun, and to grab some loot and exp and try to support some other players that actually know what is going on haha. I am very nooby, so be prepared haha.

I know that this does not scream “PICK ME PICK ME” but if there are any charity cases out there lemme know. lol.
Thanks and happy gaming! (and Merry Christmas too)

Hiya, Stryker, and welcome to the community! This is definitely the right place to put this, and I can definitely understand not being super-active. Sometimes other stuff just comes up (especially when there are diapers involved, lol). I know you’re on Devona’s Rest, but if you don’t mind guesting to Tarnished Coast, I think my guild, Ember Solace, would be a good fit for you. We’re designed with new people and busy people (and busy, new people xD ) in mind. We’ve got lots of people who are new to the game, and a few veteran players who love showing people the ropes. If you’d like to read some info on what we’re all about, you can check out our recruitment post and our forums (there’s a brief application to weed out the trolls and such). Anyway, I think you’d be a great addition to the guild, and I hope we hear from you soon. ^^ And Merry Christmas to you, too!

Deffinately interested, especially since I haven’t got to experience the ‘guild’ part of guild wars 2 lol I know to click ‘guest’ when changing worlds, but how does that work? I assume I only have a certain amount of time etc? Would this be to see what you’re all about with the hopes that I will switch servers? (Sorry this is all new lol)

No worries! I didn’t know much about the guesting system for a long time, but here’s how it works. When you’re at the character select screen, you click the “World Selection” button at the bottom left. You can choose from any servers that are in the same region as you (you’re on a North American server, so you can guest to any other North American servers). Once you click the name of the server and choose “Guest,” you’ll get a pop up with some information, and then you’ll see a suitcase next to the server you chose, and on the left in the background, under the name of the character you have selected, you’ll see “Devona’s Rest (Guesting in _)” with the name of the server where you’re guesting. Then you just close the pop-up box by clicking the x and go ahead and log into whichever character you want.

The guesting will last until you log out of that character and go back to the character select screen. Once you do that, if you log back in, you’ll be back in Devona’s Rest. But you can re-guest to that server as many times as you want. The only limit is that you can only guest to two different servers in any given 24-hour period. So you couldn’t try to do some sort of server world tour where you visit 18 servers in a day. =P

We don’t require that anyone ever permanently switch to Tarnished Coast, although it does make things easier. The guesting system works well for almost everything — the only thing you couldn’t do with us while guesting is World vs. World, which is the large-scale server vs. server PvP. If you’re interested in doing WvW, you’d need to either find a guild on Devona’s Rest or transfer to Tarnished Coast.

Transferring can be done one of three ways: you can delete all of your characters and choose a new home world (which also lets you choose a new region, if you want, and keeps all of your bank items and wallet items — tokens, gems, karma, etc.), or you can use real-life money to buy gems to pay for a transfer (it costs 1,800 gems, but you can only buy gems in certain increments, so you’d need to buy 2,800 for $35.00 and then spend the rest on fun stuff from the gem story), or you can use in-game gold and convert it to gems to get the 1,800 you need to transfer.

But anyway, if you don’t want to transfer, you can still do everything else with us. Leveling parties, dungeon runs, guild missions (we’re really close to unlocking guild bounties), living story content, etc. It’s entirely up to you. =)

Stryker have you talked to any of the guilds on Devonas Rest?
BRL, RED, HAVC, GVNC, HOD, ZERG, DTGA, VOX, COC

All have dedicated players with considerable experience in game and a dedication to the server.

No I haven’t I didn’t know how I could go about doing that unless I just randomly approach one of them in game? Wasn’t sure what the appropriate way of going about it was.

Stryker, I have responded to your PM. I look forward to hearing from you again. I will be in game tonight after 7 pm central time. Just /whisper phlogus.2371 and I will get the invite sent.
