How to find the right Guild for you, New Forum edition.

**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:

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!

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.

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. :)
