Pretty Pixie.8603 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 **Reposted from old forum, with minor updates.** Hi peeps, I’m Pix, Ia former Co-GL and primary recruiter for The Society, and current officer/recruiter for Relentless Inquisition. I have 6+ years experience as a guild recruiter, both in GW2 and another MMO. Finding a good guild can be a difficult and bewildering affair, and I hope to give players a handle on how to attract the right guild for them, as seen through the eyes of a recruiter. **How to compose your topic:** **Topic Title** Your topic title should display all neccessary info for a recruiter. Yes, we’re aware you’re looking for a guild; What we are interested in are your interests (PvE/WvW/PvP/PvX), your timezone, your investment (casual, semi-hardcore, hardcore) and which server you are on. All of these should be contained in the topic title. For example: “LFGuild on Borlis Pass (PvX, casual player, OCX)” “Lf hardcore euro WvW guild on Blackgate” This will tell a recruiter immediately whether you fit the bill. You are then more likely to be targetted by recruiters for the sort of guild you are looking for, instead of getting a generic cut-and-paste response. **Message Body** Give us additional information you think is relevant. Is it just you, or are you looking for your friends too? What do you expect from a guild? What is it you’re interested in in detail? Are you willing to switch servers? Are you willing to use VOIP? etc, etc. **Do your homework** Most servers have community forums and/or a discord. A quick google search of [server name]+forums will yield results for the server relevant to you. There’s some other external resources to find Guilds: http://gw2.guildex.org/ Credit to Guardian of Angels.9867 You want to make sure you look for a guild on your server if you are even the slightest bit interested in WvW. If you are on a Euro server, you want a guild on a euro server, same for NA. This is due to restrictions between NA/Euro servers. You’d only be able to participate in chat if your guild’s server is NA and you’re on a euro one, and vice versa. Check out the guild’s forum/discord if they have any. You can get an idea for how active they are, general atmosphere, how often they do guild events, etc. That doesn’t mean a small guild without a forum or discord is bad; it’s about making sure the guild matches your expectations. Otherwise you probably won’t stick around, and the guild loses a member. Not good for anyone! If they don’t have a forum, chat with the recruiter to get a feel for the guild. It’s ok to ask questions! **Abbreviations** LFG – Looking for Guild/group PvE – Player vs Environment; includes all non pvp content. WvW – World vs World; serverbased realm vs realm mode. Large scale pvp. PvP – player vs player, competitive and balanced pvp mode.

Rumbleguard.2961 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 LFG PvE WvW PvP NA I am going to be totally honest. I am looking for a very commited group of people that I can play regularly to get to know each other. I am just starting a new character so I would be willing to start on any server really and open to PVP or PVE (PVP sounds fun) I usually play a little during the week, but wanting to play a lot on the weekends. I am open to play whatever class is needed. I was a HARD CORE WoW guy for years, but got tired of the monthly payments. In short: Looking for a guild that is very focused on closeness and having fun.

Kelda.7520 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Have a look at [guildwars.gaiscioch.com](http://guildwars.gaiscioch.com "guildwars.gaiscioch.com"). It's a gaming community and they are into lots of games. Not sure if it what you are looking for, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatiss.3281 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I too am searching for a guild .. people friendly, mature, and a guild that when a person greets the day and fellow guildies, they are not ignored, or "too busy" to offer a short response. Have all 9 characters at level 80 and have been at it for a while. Fractals, strike missions, guild missions are my favs. Sanctum of Rall is the server i am on. If anyone can help me out that would be great. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
