Recruiting Contacts

[Triia]

Once again, the Glorious Republic is looking to add a few good members and to find a worthy alliance. Due to the time of year and various real life commitments, many of us are going to be quite busy outside of the game. To help cover more ground, we'd like to ask all members to keep an eye open, both ingame and on the forums, for people who might be what we're looking for.

This thread will be a place for everyone to post any names or links to the posts of potential recruits. Most of the bigger GW forums have a recruiting section and it's usually a good place to poke around. If you find an alliance or someone who sounds good, please post a link to the thread so one of the officers can get in touch. We don't want to have a lot of overlapping contacts.

Some of the recruiting boards (if you know of any other good ones, please message me):

GWGuru
GWOnline
The Guild Hall
Guild Wars OGaming

I'm looking for a guild mainly for PvE, but occasional PvP is all good. I've been playing about 2 months and haven't really been guilded yet. I have both prophecies+factions and a mic with vent/ts.

Characters:
Noodly Master-20 Mo/Me, just arrived in the desert and been spirit bond farming mostly.
Cosecha Eterna-20 N/Mo, towards the end of factions, I like to play it MM or blood.
Tyche Xian-19 A/N, planning on changing this to A/R critical barrage when I can change secondary, just started mainland cantha atm.

I'd like a guild with decent organisation and voice-comms, with organised PvE/farming on a regular basis. I don't mind starting new crits or changing mine to help out when necessary.

I'm from the UK but active in US times mostly so I'm playing on US servers. I play several hours a day and am happy to join in with whatevers going on. I'm 20 today ().

Edit: yeh PM me on here if interested please .

Profession: W/Mo


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I'm Looking For:

- a guild that loves to do PvE and some team PvP
- a moderate amount of active members
- mature members who don't seek to annoy people all day
- guild hall and cape
- a group that likes to chat and do things whether to help out, accomplish or just have fun
- a Ventrilo server (voice chat)

About Me:

Age: 19
Time Zone: GMT-8
- I am willing to spec in any form that will help the group the most. I have recently tried a full tanking and damage mitigation build, as well as a strength build for dps. I have a blast either way and I'll do whatever it takes to get the job done.
- I quit World of Warcraft after playing for a year and a half only 3 weeks ago. I had the best gear in the game at the time and was in the best guild on my side. I also used to play a level 75 Black Mage on Final Fantasy XI which I sold to be able to play WoW.
- I love doing endgame content, PvP, and just doing anything with an organized group as a whole. Here are screenshots of my past adventures: s21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/kotumarux
- I only started playing a week and a half ago but I am determined to get into a big guild and enjoy the content of this game to it's maximum potential.
- I leave for USMC bootcamp in 3 months, and I then will not be able to play anymore, but until then I will be playing this game.
- I am not looking for the best guild ever, but rather a guild that has a fair amount of active players and a guild that likes to do things together.

Character: Zurvan Eagleheart
Profession: Mo/R

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I'm Looking For:

- A guild with equal interests in PvE and PvP
- At least 20 active members, including the leader
- A distinct lack of rank-pulling and guild politics
- Guild hall, cape, and some guild hall services (all not necessary)
- A website or a forum, though not IRC (I've had bad experiences with guilds and clans run off of IRC)
- People with a sense of humor and patience

About Me:

Age: 22
Time Zone: Central US
Campaigns: Prophecies, Factions, and soon to be Nightfall

I've been playing since the release of Prophecies, with roughly 500 hours in-game between six characters. I've been a member of several top-tier guilds, including Kansas City Hotsteppers and Nordic Hammer. I'll be in college again next month, so I'll be active on the weekends.

Characters
Zurvan Eagleheart-Mo/R 20: My most active character, I run both Healing and Protection/Bonding on this monk.
Kernby of Kreutz-W/Mo or W/E 20: Formerly a hammer warrior, I've just started using swords and sword builds.
Edenia Nihilus-N/Me or N/Mo 20: I alternate between minioning and blood/illusion/domination draining with this character, at least whenever I can convince a PUG to take a N/Me.
Avari Nora Odu-Rt/Mo 19: My token ritualist character, this one doesn't get used as much as my monk. I'm still ironing out the build.
Death Hand Kasumi-A/R 16: My underused assassin character, which I would delete had I not bought 1.5k armor for it. I still take it out of the garage occasionally.
Mage Henchnan-Varies: My PvP slot. I never rename it out of fear of losing the sweet name.

Message me in-game if you're interested. I'm usually online anytime between 5 and 11 CST.

All on the same page: GWG
I'm noticing a lot of outgoing new people on the boards.

And darn this guy already found a guild:

Dislikes: Astrology. Canadians.

If it is ok with everyone, I would like to contact Redemption of the Phoenix[xRPx] (see their GWG ad) to discuss possibly joining their alliance. They are a PvE-based guild of a lot of people, but they have one PvP focused guild in their alliance, and one guild similar to us in that they dabble in everything. They prefer players only 18+, but I'm sure we could sway them with our *cough* mature *cough* teen members. Having an officer who is 13ish migh not be so good though;) After looking through what I can on their webpage and forums, they seem to be a pretty decent group of people with some talented web programmers. PM me with thoughts or comments on this. Thanks!

[Triia]

I had a look at their site a while ago and would very much like to get in touch with them. They sound like a very likely candidate for an alliance.

[Delor]

I agree, as long as casual PvPer's doesn't mean bad PvPer's. After all some of us who have been pushing for an alliance all along wanted it so we could get more people to join us for HA/TA/AB runs.

Time to get back to looking into a few new members...I'm also seeing if I can post in every thread today! jk

Looking for Guild

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About me

Characters:

Tarin Eldrith - R/X 20 (beaten both Prophecies & Factions; my main char)
Caleb Eldrith - Mo/W 20 (in the Southern Shiverpeaks)
Thanatir Eldrith - N/Me 8 (just started)

Playing habits:

I'm a casual player, meaning that I'll generally log in 5-10 hours a week (sometimes less, sometimes more). I have been playing for a bit over a year though. I usually play on weekend afternoons and evenings (GMT -5) though I'm also around at other random times.

After my last guild fell apart, I've been looking for a new guild so I don't have to rely on PuGs not to play alone. I'm somewhat experienced and don't mind helping others through tough missions.

What I'm looking for in a guild

- Medium sized guild (~25 active players)
- PvE focused, though I have had fun doing GvG and Alliance Battles in the past
- Easygoing and mature members
- A good sense of community
- TS/Ventro and forums are a plus but not necessary

If this sounds like your guild and I sound like I might be a good fit, whisper me in game or PM me on these forums.

Thanks!

Contacting me ingame would be best if you think you might have the guild for me. If thats not possible send me a private message and read it when i see it.

[Delor]

Not necessarily the right thread for this, but it's close enough I suppose. I know that Tark is inactive, and he has no intention of coming back. However, that is the account that I have the information for so that ladyfriend can try GW. So this is just my way of saying please don't kick Tark.

[Kaiser]

I think it is time again. I'm tired of not having enough human players to fill out a team. Time to start going with PUGs instead of Heroes. Time to start reading and/or posting on forums. Time to start contacting people to see if they are coming back. Time to start coming back!

[mura]

Well, if my friends come back this summer....

.....you might have 2 members. <_< I've been trying to either get them to come back.....or have them give me their stuffs.

[Jupiter]

There are few and far between as far decent candidates out there atm. Here's the only recent one on GWG that I found:

"Wanted" Friendly Mature Guild

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings all, due to the recent collapse of my guild I am in the market for a new one. I have been in the same guild for the past 20 months, the same amount of time I have played Guild Wars for. I am an experienced player with most character classes completed with all elite skills and such through all charpters of GW. I love an active guild which takes part in a lot of guild activities, but doesn't have high demands (eg faction farming etc). I am currently working on achieving titles for my characters to take me through Eye of the North and then Guild Wars 2. In particular, completing all missions with bonus' and masters etc for all chapters. In return I offer able-bodied fighters to help other members of your guild through various activities. I'm hoping this venture into a new guild will be a long and fruitful experience. Cheers.

Contact me via PM or IGN: Fox Avangarde

[Jupiter]

I occasionally still browse the LFGuild threads thinking that somewhere out there are more people like us...
I found this guy.

Looking for Fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is my personal opinion that a lot of guilds are no longer in the game for fun, but as a place for people to meet up and grind their lives away.

My last guildmates...didn't understand where I come from when I say that I play to have fun, not to win. I don't think I need to brag, I've played fro over two years, mostly on my Rit and moderately on my Necro, Ranger, Ele, and slightly on my new warrior and rather old monk.

I also like to PvP, but there's not a real place to adverstise for yourself if you have a PvP/PvE split. I'll explain my stance on PvP now, though, which is what led me to leave my old guild and wander aimlessly as I am now.

Basically, I there are certain builds I hate playing. I will, simply, refuse to play what I hate, because this game is about having fun for me, not grudging through mindlessly so your teammates can win gladpoints and flaunt their e-peen.
I also love to make/play gimmick builds of my own. The wierder the better, I don't care if I make it into the high end, as long as the build is fun and making people go "WTF?" I'm happy. (This goes for PvE too...I'm a big fan of gimmicky builds on my Rit...)

I love Spirit Strength Rits and Signet Mesmers, they bring me a lot of joy. I do a decent amount of PvE, since my old guild didn't have any casual pvpers. My guild from a while ago had a great community and really laid back pvpers who liked to chill with the PvE crowd. I want somewhere like that again.

So, if you're willing to take me in for a bit, let me know through a private message here, or contact me in-game.

Thanks a lot =)

[mura]

He is quite unique. Signet Mesmer? <.< That's like.....an inspiration mesmer in PVE.

Here's another:
www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10188201

[sybarite]

What's the strategy here? Do officers make contact or can anyone? We should give this guy a test drive. He wrote a resume for crying out loud; 3 cheers for literacy!
Anyhoo, we should contact this guy and then set up a time for him to hang out with us so we can meet and greet. That means we as a guild have to make an effort to be online together. Then we should impress him with our organizational skills and have 2 or 3 activities we want to undertake with him so we can actually play together and feel each other out. We could (should?) come up with 2 or 3 activities as set pieces to use for any potential recruits. Activities include a PvE instance to run through, probably one mission from each campaign (THK anyone??), and then perhaps an offer to do a skill cap or something else PvE-ish and then we should do some PvP, maybe team arena or whatever.
It's not an insane idea to have a recruitment officer in the guild. There are advantages. Said individual should have great interpersonal skills. We could also have a schedule where everyone gets to have a turn. Now I see all you introverts sitting there thinking "great idea syb, go take charge". Let's just keep in mind that, to an extent, we're all recruitment officers because every time we play we're being evaluated by other players and it reflects back on HLR.
To be effective we really need to establish a recruitment policy. The policy needs to be fair, universally applied and transparent; meaning it is posted here in the recruitment forum as a sticky so every recruit knows what to expect from us and they know what is expected of them to be considered as a full fledged member of this august gathering of personages. =)
We also need a statement of purpose for the guild and a vague notion of what the guilds goal(s) is(are). Some examples:

Half Life Republic (HLR) is a guild of mature and like-minded folks who have come together to play Guild Wars. We enjoy PvE and PvP equally. Our main focus is the undertaking of grand adventures and the administering of dealage.

HLR: we pwn all!!!

Our primary goal is to have fun. Ideally we want to be a top 200 rated guild with an active player base of 20-30 players who all enjoy playing with each other.

Our goal is to pwn all!!! You’re either with us, or an unsightly stain in our way!!!

Successful candidates for HLR should be friendly, helpful and mature (most of the time). Keep in mind maturity has neither a lower or upper age limit. Candidates will be required to have ventrilo. Ventrilo allows for critical communication during PvP as well as critical communication to hang out with your fellow guildmates to maintain our closeknit community. The candidate must also register on the HLR forums and make an introductory post and ask to be considered as a member. There are no level or class requirements for candidate characters. Candidates are also not required to own all the Guild Wars expansions although it is encouraged as most guild members do and this allows for more variety during play.

If you’re uber we want you!!! If you suck we don’t!!!

The recruitment process will involve the candidate and guild members having at least 3 chances to meet and chat, as well as play together. After the members meet the candidate an officer will call for a vote. The candidate will be told and the guild has one week to make a decision on the candidate. A simple majority of yes votes grants the candidate membership. Officers have veto power. An officer of the guild will then contact the candidate and tell them if they were accepted or not.

Play with us dood!!!

We look forward to your application. Good luck!

Let’s pwn!!!


So, obviously, the details need to be hammered out but this gives you an idea of what I have in mind. I think we should all take a good look at where the guild is now and think about where we want HLR to be. Then we can make a plan to get there. =)

I currently think the guild is too small and that to maximize our fun we need more active players. What say you?

[Malae]

Syb honestly, if I had the power to make you our recruitment officer, I would. A policy for entrance into the guild, a template to "test" the applicant out, are all great things to have. You also seem to have beaten anyone to the punch and written out something that would fit our needs. Do you think you can give a brief version of everything, the barest of outlines, so everyone can discuss the details and possibly hammer this out as something we use from now on? Least, I like it and would use it, but some more opinions are needed
