Greetings forums! I’m a new player to Guild Wars 2 (and GW in general) and looking for a medium sized friendly guild that is a nice mix of social, PVE, and casual – light RP (I like RP I’m just horrible at staying in character and get bored sitting around in town for long stretches). I have several characters on the go at the moment, a thief @ 62, engineer @ 52, and a guardian @ 50. Though PVE tends to be my regular preference, I can see myself possibly wanting to get involved in this WvW and PvP stuff, but I don’t really know much about it at the moment.
I firmly believe that RL is a higher priority than games, not just for myself but others as well. I also like to help people out when I can.
I will probably have many newbie questions as I see a lot of things in map chat that I have no idea what people are talking about or if I qualify, so expect random questions… possibly dumb ones.
Turn-ons: Positive attitudes, laid back atmospheres, killing bad guys, minds that are in the gutter and think it’s pretty awesome there, crazy people, freaks, geeks, nutters, loonies, hoopy froods who know where their towels are.
Turn-offs: Bad attitudes, haters, trash talkers, elitists, politics.
Some random and not necessarily useful or relevant facts about me:
My previous online gaming experience includes Asherons Call, WoW, CoH, CO, and several MUDs.
I’ve also played my share of tabletop pnp games, D&D included.
I’ve been 29 for the last couple years.
I am very light hearted and prefer more mature crowds (20+) with a diverse sense of humour and a healthy dash of ridiculous.
My telephone ringtone is the “Men in Tights” song. I have been known to sing along before answering.
And after answering.
I am currently in training to be a volunteer fitness instructor at my local YMCA.
I like to hit the beach in the summer so I may not be around as often as I am during the winter.
I totally have a man crush on Jean-Luc Picard.
My greatest accomplishment this year is going from 320+ lbs and getting winded going up a flight of stairs to (currently) 205 lbs and running a 17.5KM marathon/obstacle course in September.
TLDR; I’d like to start running dungeons and stuff with people, hanging out and telling lame jokes. If I sound like the kind of weirdo you’d like to run dungeons and tell lame jokes with, I can be contacted @ TBM.2608.
Are there many other North Americans in your guild?
