Guild Wars 2

RoMS is on the Sorrow’s Furnace server, BTW. Forgot to include that!

RoMS is on the Sorrow’s Furnace Server, BTW. It’s no problem that you’re on another server, guest or switch, your call!

Oh, we’re on the Sorrow’s Furnace server, though it’s no problem that you’re on another server. Guest or switch, your call!

Here’s info about my guild, the Roses of the Moonlight Sigil [RoMS]. (Sorrow’s Furnace Server)

In short, we are a casual PvE/PvX guild that emphasizes mature and respectful behavior on the part of our members (though a humorous/crazy streak is encouraged). We’re very laid-back about how people play the game, and don’t throw a fit if someone isn’t decked out in all exotic/ascended items and don’t necessarily know everything in the game. We’re relaxed, we teach, we chat and have fun together. That’s what it’s all about. (As an added bonus, it’s an extremely rare occasion that I have to deal with any sort of guild drama).

We generally do weekly Guild Bounties and WvW, as well as other random (and occaisionally whacky) events thrown in for variety.

At the moment, we have 10-25 people who login and represent RoMS on a daily basis (total roster 96), as well as a couple friendly guilds who we often muster with if not enough players are available for a particular activity. We’re most active in the evenings based on Central time zones, but happy to expand our activity at other times.

For voice, we typically use vent, but mostly only for WvW or sometimes dungeons.

Please be aware that RoMS does have an application that it requires for new members, to ensure that we get people who fit the guild’s philosophy. Additionally, the guild is PG/Family-friendly, and no swearing or explicit content is allowed.

If you have any questions, or would like to apply to join, please either contact me ingame or visit our website:

-Possibly- us. We’re not a Christian guild, however, and depending on your viewpoint you may dislike how comfortable we are with LGBT people. Which is not a major theme, mind you, but it’s also not shyed away from.

That said, what you’re seeking does seem in-line with what we are:

You might give us a shot. We’re not focused on dungeons as a whole, but several of our members are interested in them, and we have a couple other guilds that we muster people from when we don’t have a full RoMS group.

Hi! My name is Rain Over Pebbles, leader of the Roses of the Moonlight Sigil (or RoMS, www.rosesofthemoonlightsigil.org)

We are a mostly-PvE/WvW guild that runs by a few basic philosophies:

• Recruit Fun, Pleasant, Mature people, regardless of skill level or age.
• All Participation is Voluntary.
• Not ‘enforcing’ specific builds on our players; everyone is free to play according to thier own pace and style.
• General Merriment and Insanity!

In short, I’ve tried to make RoMS a home for people who just want to enjoy the game, without all the politics, drama, beaurocracy and intrusive time requrements that exist in some other guilds. All ages and levels are accepted, as long as they demonstrate the needed maturity to not constantly annoy our other members. The guild is a family-friendly environment (no swearing and no explicit content.)

Currently, we have a roster of over 100, with about 20-30 people logging in daily to represent us, and have a pretty solid player base in the evenings PST/CST/EST as well as people coming and going throughout the day. My goal is to continue building on this while still maintaining the friendly atmosphere of the guild where everyone can get to know each other and not simply be another name in the crowd. So if you’re interested in becoming a member of a growing group of laid-back, friendly players who don’t stress about how you play the game or whether or not you’re fully equipped in ascended gear (Gasp!), give us a ring!

RoMS sports the following attractions:
- Guild membership is fun, friendly, very no-drama and great to joke around with.
- Members of the Guild that are interested in all areas of GW2.
- Weekly Guild events, including Friday WvW at reset!
- Weekly Guild bounties/Treks/Rushes/Challenges! Haven’t done ‘em? You should, they’re fun and gives nice prizes!
- Fully upgraded storage

RoMS requires an interview before accepting new members in order to help keep our ranks filled with people who would make the guild fun for everyone. If you are interested in membership, please send email to rainoverpebbles@gmail.com answering the following questions:
(TIP: I take this interview very seriously – you will bode the best chance of being accepted if you put effort into your answers, and answer honestly)
(ALSO: You can also submit an application for membership at http://www.rosesofthemoonlightsigil.org/application.html)

1. In your own words, what are you ideally looking for in a guild?

2. What are your favorite activities in Guild Wars 2? What level is your highest-level character?

3. Do you have any interest in WvW/PvP, and if so, how much experience do you have?

4. Are you considering representing RoMS as your primary guild? If not, what role will RoMS fill in the guilds you represent?

5. If you were to create a new civilization on a distant planet, what would it be like? What would you call it?

6. If you could be any type of animal bent on destroying the world, what type of animal would you be and how would you do it?

7. Do you have any character names that would be unsuitable for younger players or offensive in general? If any, what are they?

8. Tell us anything else you’d like to say about yourself!

RoMS is on the Sorrow’s Furnace server, but accept members from any server.

Thanks, and have fun in-game!

I haven’t really read most of the rest of the thread because reading and trolling forums generally gives me a headache, so please forgive me if what I’m saying is repetitive. Suffice to say that I lead a guild within -reach- of Guild bounties, but it’ll be a bit before we get there.

I was very excited when I heard about the Guild Missions idea; it’s a great concept, something that really brings guilds together… in groups of more than 5 people…. to accomplish fun tasks. I love it, and just what the game needed I think. Guild rush makes me laugh my head off.

However there’s several areas where I feel like I’ve been let down:

1. It’s really a terrible feeling to have all this awesome content promoted like crazy, get really excited about how it’ll benefit your guild, only to find out that it’ll be a long wait before your guild can do it at all. (Made all the longer because the missions sound like lots of fun and laughs.)

2. Art of War 5. I totally get that there was a desire to make this tree relevant to all guilds. Personally, I think it’s a great idea to do so. But the reality is that the first 4 tiers of this category were PvP-specific — and still are. I am baffled by the logic of gating PvE, guild-enhancing content behind here when the first 4 tiers hold absolutely no interest to a PvE guild whatsoever. Was it really necessary to make it so that you had to get Guild bounties FIRST? Why the merit requirements on the other tiers, forcing any guild that wants to experience this content to research down the Art of War path, which holds no other benefits to some guilds aside from the Mission itself? (As an aside: Want to make Art of War relevant to all guilds? Add something to the first 4 tiers that make it attractive to PvE guilds and you’ll make it more exciting and feel less like a colossal waste of influence points for those guilds.)

3. As a result of the delay, what I predict will happen is thus. Instead of this content being a boon to my own guild, my members (and myself, really, as I want to play as well), will be representing other guilds to do the Guild Mission content and enjoy the fun rewards. This will leave large numbers of people in my guild representing elsewhere for decent chunks of time, and not paying attention to our own guild chat, which is never a particularly good state. Eventually we’ll get our own, and that’ll be good, but in truth? By that point, other guilds will have more and shinier missions. A great deal of the goodwill and good, guild-bonding fun that I was really hoping for from this update will benefit other, larger guilds. Additionally, with my members representing elsewhere, all the guild-related rewards for their participation (merits, influence from events as they explore), not to mention the social benefits of having all the people representing to do the mission, go to other guilds. This hurts.

I have confidence in my group and love them like my family, but regardless of that confidence, the inability/difficulty that we’re going to have enjoying this new content under our own banner – and yes, “Under our own banner” is important – is heartbreaking.

So here’s my 2 cents.

Really, I think it’s a waste and an oversight that there is no Guild mission content at ALL at a level that smaller guilds can reach. Doesn’t have to be anything major and I’m definitely not saying that there shouldn’t be expanded and shinier content that’s much harder to reach, but with such a wonderful concept added to the game, shouldn’t it be enriching all guilds at least to some extent as opposed to forcing them to represent other guilds in order to even have a chance to play any of the content?

Ideally, I’d like to see the merit cost taken off of unlocking the other guild missions – with the exception of Guild Challenges, which could logically be gated that way since they’re after Guild Bounty on the Art of War tree. Let guilds go through their preferred tree and unlock the missions that suit their personality and their liking. Having to go through Art of War feels artificial and forced.

And finally… when hyping new content, please be realistic with us about who will be able to do the content. I was REALLY excited about this update. I still am to an extent, but I also feel let down that we only found out so late that the gateway to the content was so daunting – and yet beforehand blissfully had no idea that there would be any problems with small guilds accessing it at all.

All that said, I will say that I’ve always been fond of the Guild Wars team, and I’m really excited about the potential for expansion that Guild Wars 2 shows. I do, however, strongly feel that this content – at least parts thereof – should have been made more accessible so that can — how was it put before? “create a solid foundation to support PvE guild play.” — for ALL guilds instead of just ones with massive influence to devote to it.
