Actually, some guilds have admitted that they left because their prime interest is in WvW and they didn’t want to take chances.
Yes, it’s a huge hit to our server, I’m not denying that. I said “the guilds that left CD either didn’t participate anyway and we won’t notice or caused a lot of drama anyway” — Read before you rage.
We all have our flaws and, yes, calling out the leavers as scared and bandwagoners might not be the nicest thing but it has nothing to do with Nerd Pickles and how much I care about Crystal Desert. It’s my opinion, like you have yours.
Just relax bro. It’ll all be okay.

I like CD a little more just because of “nerd pickles”.
Awwa, thanks!
And @Chaos, sorry that I reached out to you guys. My apologies! I, before this drama happened, noticed you guys weren’t in the TeamSpeak. I saw your recruitment post and tried to be nice. My mistake.
And I’m not trying to troll you because you left, I’m not trying to troll you at all. But your thread contributed to the chaos that is left in our server. And I care about our server, so I don’t take kindly to that.
You saw people leaving and you left. You can throw your “unlike you guys, we were here from BWE” all you want… but what good is it if you left? Lime has been here since pre-release, and is staying. But this isn’t a battle of the guilds, I don’t need to prove to anyone anything about our guild—we do this naturally as I hope your guild does as well. It is, however, a discussion of loyalty.
No, I don’t know the whole story. The story is so large, I don’t think anyone knows the story. It’s just a cluster of chaos that has been blown so far out of proportion it doesn’t make sense.
I made Nerd Pickles to counter the chaos and rally the guilds together. Nothing more, nothing less. When I saw the TeamSpeak, the map chat, and then your in game mail, I knew something had to be done. Any effort is better than none.
Nerd Pickles is just supposed to be a funny joke. I had the domain just chilling for a food blog I never made. I had the theme from my old photography site. It took 5 minutes.
And Altie is actually pretty non-biased. He has no qualms about calling me out on my flaws. He’s not my lapdog. He is my officer because he is the most skilled in the guild with WvW, not because he sucked up to me the hardest.
Truth is, most of the guilds that left CD either didn’t participate anyway and we won’t notice or caused a lot of drama anyway. A few people just left because they were scared. It’s whatever, we’ll do like a phoenix and rise from the ashes.
Peace, Love, and CRYSTAL DESERT
We have a few EU players and we’d love to add some more. We are everything you mentioned (though we use both TeamSpeak and Mumble—TS for WvW/PvP, Mumble for everything else—one is shared with our server).
The CNAME is there, our server is just finicky. I’m actually in the process of asking them to switch it.
Other great WvW guilds on CD:
http://www.lomgaming.com
http://www.sohgaming.com
http://www.orbgaming.com
Tonic/Lime play with all three of those. And we love them.
Tonic [Lime]is a medium sized guild that would never exploit or cheat (we’ll kick anyone who tries). We are PvX… and we use both Mumble and TS3.
We would love to have another friendly player that wants to be part of our family.
Crystal Desert, despite the bad press, is still going strong. We have some strong Oceanic/SEA guilds that would probably love some more. Check out guilds like KoME (knights of the millenium era) or PA (Pure Awesomeness). THere’s a bunch more but I’m NA so I don’t know them. THose are just the ones I am familiar with
CD can still make a comeback. All we have to do is create a recruitment thread and attach nothing but pictures of babes in bikinis. No text or anything. We’ll be tier 1 in no time.
I’ll get to work on finding pickles in bikinis!
Altie is my WvW officer. And I almost approve of what you’re going for, Jayne.
But he’s mine.
Updated list of guilds currently on Crystal Desert, staying or coming:
http://nerdpickles.com/?page_id=13
Obviously, there are TONS of guilds not listed on there. I’m adding them as they are confirmed to me.
Mass exodus? I think not.
This guy seems to disagree, but those TC players are known scoundrels ;-).
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Tarnished-Desert
Yeah, that guy was jaded by a CD guild that went to BG anyway. 2 guilds leaving for TC (one no one really knew about anyway) and apparently we’re all exporting to TC? Bandwagoner/lemming mentality, whatevs.
Yep, only two guild went to TC. Two went to Blackgate, I believe a few went to Kaineng, one went to JQ.
I think the rivalry TC and CD have had since I can remember has jaded most former CD-ers from transferring to TC. xD
I know I’ve always despised TC… but maybe it’s because when CD sees TC, we just roll over without trying.
www.nerdpickles.com has been updated with more guilds STAYING on CD.
Altie, I’ll pat your back anytime.
Especially with that adorable link you have in your sig.

<3 Altie staying certainly makes CD even beyond Tier 1. Altie for President!
More guilds are staying than are leaving. All of our Oceanic/SEA guilds are staying. Guilds are coming into Crystal Desert.
Unless this fellow’s signature is grossly out of date, it would appear that CD just lost the Singaporean guild [VaL] to JQ. This whole end of free transfers thing is a real mess, I’m so sick of seeing mid-tier servers falling apart because some of their guilds have decided to jump ship in favor of the top 4. I do hope you’re right about getting new guilds in though, and I hope things work out well for you guys. >:
Sorry, I guess I shouldn’t have used the word all (though I didn’t know about VaL)… many, if not most, of our Oceanic/SEA guilds are staying. (And at the very least, not at Tarnished Coast, further making this thread invalid).
Yes, we took a hit, yet, it’ll take some time to recover, but people panicking are just missing out on the good things to come.
Crystal Desert is full 99% of the time and people think it’s dying. Relax people, relax.
Someone mentioned unbalanced match-ups? Hey… we could be these guys:
(edited by sinthetix.8765)
I prefer…. “Crystal Desert.”
Also, we’ll be fine. Keep calm and www.nerdpickles.com
That’s the WvW style we are mostly interested in. Zergs have never been our thing.
Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Server Websites: http://crystal-desert.com & http://nerdpickles.com
To those staying on CD, you have my utmost respect for sticking it out through these troubling times, and I hope to see Crystal Desert flourish again some day!
Sorry, my love, for I am taking the last life boat off of the Titanic. However, I want you to remember that I will always respect and admire you, and if you should somehow survive the frigid arctic waters and deathly cold gusts, I want you to know that I will be waiting for you, with open arms.
Me too, me too. I will go down with my ship. Thing is though, I don’t think we’re going anywhere.
Also, somehow two guilds going to Tarnished Coast makes it Tarnished Desert? KH/Doly and… some guild that didn’t even participate in our WvW community?
I mean you no disrespect, but your problem was with LaZy and they, with GoF, went to Blackgate. I don’t know where [RISE] and [TG] went, but whatever.
More guilds are staying than are leaving. All of our Oceanic/SEA guilds are staying. Guilds are coming into Crystal Desert.
Anyone who wants to go to TC… hop on that bandwagon. If we drop a tier, we drop a tier. But Crystal Desert isn’t going anywhere.
Sorry you fell into the panic. Should have nerd pickled.
great, 11 of us now!
I make 12 and we could add these people in as well. http://nerdpickles.com/?page_id=13
OMG! What a great website! /bow
Thanks, btw. Took me 5 minutes. and the guy who said it should rep CD…. I can only dream. xD
great, 11 of us now!

<3 Always adding more people to www.nerdpickles.com — let me know if you need to be added. Crystal Desert is for lovers.
NP is the abbreviation for Nerd Pickles…a movement to rally Crystal Desert together. It’s a sign.
http://nerdpickles.com — Crystal Desert is you server destination!
We need to make a Pickle Surprise and Gangnam Style mash up…. and then change it to Crystal Desert style.
Keep moving to CD guys. CD will reign supreme!
Want to find a home before the charge? Want a home with a good heart, great guilds, and a sense of humor? Check out Crystal Desert.

Because? We have Nerd Pickles. And a great WvW community.
Hey check us out: http://obeythelime.com (< 100, NA server, PvX, community-focused).
<3
Hey! We’re recruiting PVP-oriented players (although we do PvE as well) for our Crystal Desert (NA-T3 WvW) guild. We are community-focused, active, and mature. We go by East Coast timezone, but our players span from Hawaii to UK. We are just under 100 members.
Mesmers are awesome, I play one myself.
Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
If you’re looking for a community-focused guild that is active in every component of GW2, look no further than us here at Tonic [Lime]. Fun is our priority. We have lots of non-mandatory events and a great activity level.
Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Community is our thing. We do lots of dungeons daily but we are looking for players also interested in PvP or WvW. If this is you, check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Hey! Your play times match ours and we do lots of PvE and PvP (as well as WvW). Real life comes first for us too and we have lots of non-mandatory events. (In fact nothing in the guild is mandatory!) However, our activity level is always really high, and since we’re less than 100 people, we feel cozy.
Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Awwa, Crystal Desert might have zergs but not every guild does zergs. My guild does decoy missions, supply drains, escorts, and circle capping. You’re going to find a zerg everywhere.
But—if you want to see a server that works together for strategies, check us out. Even though you’re currently beating us ~_~
RISE is here… we were conquering CD BL last night with them.
CD for the win! <3
Still taking in PvX or WvW/PvP players! Transfer to the best server ever, Crystal Desert!
Hey! We’re on CD. Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Hey! We’re a medium sized guild (100 people) with a small number of WvW-focused players (about 20 people). We also do plenty of PvP. We’re on Crystal Desert, a T3 WvW server. We have a few bad commanders, but for the most part, the server works together and we have more GOOD commanders than bad ones.
Check us out: http://obeythelime.com
Hey! We’re recruiting PvX players like yourself that want a semi-hardcore atmosphere. We use both Mumble (private server) and TS3 (shared WvW server). We’re very chatty and social.
We are active, medium sized (about 100), and very friendly—community is out #1 focus. We have lots of non-mandatory events.
Check out our website: http://obeythelime.com
Hey! We’re a semi-hardcore guild that has both hardcore and casual players—we aim to meet in the middle. Our WvW, PvE, and tPvP officers are extremely knowledgeable and we have events daily (non-mandatory). We are also very active in our WvW community, participating in the weekly meetings/etc. (We don’t make you go to those though, haha.)
We are an active guild of just under 100 players. We are 18+ (average 27), mature, and above all, respectful. Community is our #1 focus to keep our family-feel. We have both Mumble and TeamSpeak for VOIP.
Check out our website: http://obeythelime.com
Looking forward to hearing from you three.
Edit: We are on Crystal Desert, T3 WvW.
You sound like a perfect fit! Also, we’re on Crystal Desert… so you should come back because Kaineng is lame Anyway, I’m writing this for you so don’t think it’s a copy & pasted wall of text. XD
We are a COMMUNITY. Some one called us a family guild the other day and another guild thought that meant we didn’t swear, ahaha. (We do, but we still stay respectful. However, family in our case is how well we stick together.)
We’re a guild of just under 100 members, 18+ (average age around 27), East Coast times (though we overlap both EST prime time and PST prime). We have our own private Mumble server and a channel on our server’s TS3.
We are active in EVERY aspect of the game. We have excellent players that are recognized, but we are far from elitist. We’re semi-hardcore, accepting casuals and hardcore players who embrace this focus. We have daily, non-mandatory events. There are events for story modes, explorer modes, jumping puzzles, tPvP, and WvW. Did I mention we do it all?
Also, I’m pretty sure we have DayZ players. We had more but they were disappointed in the game so quit. We also have a few guild Minecraft servers, play League of Legends, and lots of Steam games (but our focus is GW2).
Our website speaks volumes: http://obeythelime.com
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hey, I know you guys are kicking our butts in WvW right now but if you would consider coming over to the green (but for how long?!—and I mean we’re on Crystal Desert)… check us out. We’re very active in both WvW and tPvP.

If you’ll switch servers, we’re recruiting more for WvW (it’s already very active but we’d love more). We’re on Crystal Desert (tier 3) and I think our WvW is a lot of fun Also, we’re a very active, mature guild that works with other WvW guilds to get things done properly.
