Guild Wars 2

Hi

I’m a complete newcomer to GW2 and I’m looking for a guild.
Having read through your post, I would like see if your guild might “fit” me, and visa versa.

As for me in short:
I’m and old hand to MMO’s, (have spent a long time in WoW – since vanilla) and looking for a social group to join. As for commitment, I play when I have the time. But being a father and husband, that time is more limited than my inner gamer might prefer.

If you think it might be worth a try, please let me know

Thank you all for your answers!
(for some iffing reason I can only chose one of the posts as “This Answers My Question”)
This gives me something to go by for the days to come.

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys/gals

As the topic suggests I’m very new to guild wars 2 (has clocked about 3 hour playtime so far). I’ve been playing WoW as a casual since vanilla, but my latest return to Azeroth convinced me to go look for something else to do with my time.
Having looked around a bit, I’ve chosen GW2, and being old school, bought the thing.

I’ve decided to go with the elementalist for a first crack at a “main” character, as it seems to have, at least, some similarities with the mage I played in WoW. I am a casual player, that plays an hour here and there, but thats about it. I’m not that much into PvP (havn’t tried it in GW2, so that might change) but has found my thrill in PvE and socializing.

The pointers I’ve been able to gather so far goes as far as:
*Grab a staff
*Choose coocking
*…… and that’s it actually!

What is missing on my list? Any good pointers?
I’m curious as to the value of crafting – is it worth spending time on from the get go, or should I just gather and sell?
Oh, and guilds… any good info oon the guild mechanics would be highly appreciated!
