Hey everyone,
I was looking for a guild that doesn't enforce playtime rules and I was introduced to your guild by two of your members (tmoe01) whom I played rift and SWTOR with. I am very laid back and understand that sometimes life comes before a raid/dungeon. Played a select few MMOs: FFXI, WoW, Rift, SWTOR, & currently TERA Online.
Regards!

lolapaloma...lol, I played The Sims Online as well!! I find myself every so often missing it and wish they would have kept it up with improvements and such to keep the masses happy. I ran a fairly successful house for a while and then did the roomie thing and just thinking of how we would take shifts running the house. haha, good times

Thank you for the welcome and can't wait to get started. Was never good at being patient when games are about to launch.

Hello to all, just recently saw one of your recruitment posts and it looked a lot like what I was looking for. I'm a lot like Esonique up there. I too, believe that life should come before a game. However, that is mostly because of the new addition we received to our family about 8 months ago in the forum of my daughter. I've played a vast majority of the MMO's out there, however, this will be my first endeavor into the world of Guild Wars. Which I do believe will play more to my strengths, especially after the dismal turn out there was on WaR (which I still think is one of the better MMO's to have been put out in the past few years).

Great to have you shipbane and glad you found us!
On WaR, are you referring to Warhammer? Just curious.

Yeah, sorry got so used to the Acronym for 'Warhammer Age of Reckoning'. *chuckles*

@ kaleahstarr - haha yer just jealous cause I'm better at dying than you are! uhh wait... What I mean to say is that I'm dying alot to save your butt! yeah that's it! Mhmm...you keep thinking that. I miss the days of FFXI in Yuhtunga Jungle when people would run to the zone with gobbies on their butt and then the gobbies would turn around and attack parties! XD Man those were fun times (except when I died haha).../sigh

I played Rift with TMoe...did we play together too? My character was Signe. I played Tera too but I suspended my subscription. The game was fun and the graphics were beautiful, but I was on a PVP server and didn't like getting ganked while going out some silly quest. I wanted to transfer my character to a PVE server, but you can only go from PVP to PVP. Looking forward to playing GW2 with you!

Hello All,
I ran across a guild recruitment thread you posted earlier and I think your guild sounds like a great fit for what I'm looking for in gaming now days. My motivation for raiding hardcore has been severely lacking since back in my early WoW times.
Background,
I'm 38 years old. I work as a purchasing agent for a company in Kansas. I tend to work a lot of hours during the week and have quite a bit going on outside gaming many times which impacts when I play. I do tend to play much more on the weekends than during the week, but there's times when that reverses depending on what else is going on.
Gaming background,
I started with WoW back in Burning Crusade - Played all the way up to Rift launch.
Went to Rift - liked many of their ideas, but ultimately went back to WoW just because most of the folks I gamed with were still in WoW and I missed the folks still back there.
Then SW:TOR stole me away from WoW and I really enjoyed that game for about 4 months or so before I had a busy stretch at work and a lot of folks I went there with quit playing while I was absent..some back to WoW some done altogether.
I actually had pretty much quit gaming altogether for about the last 3-4 months or so. Until a buddy of mine emailed the other day and told me to check this game out. And I have preordered and been getting more and more stoked the more I read about this game since.
I actually feel excited about this game like I used to feel about WoW during BC. I do still have some good friends playing WoW and despite their efforts to rerecruit me, Kung Fu Panda xpack really has turned me away from rejoining them.
I'll be around in game, Aridion.3057 will also be my first character name if a spots open to join up with you all I'd be interested in helping you all create a really enjoyable gaming atmosphere.

I'm the buddy Aridion spoke of I told him about GW2 and he told me about you guys. He and I have the same gaming history and have played all of those games together with other friends. Looks like we might have the opportunity to make some new ones here. I am a 42 year old married man with 2 kids. I work swing shift at a factory so my play times vary with my work schedule. For hobbies, I play MMO's (natch), bass guitar, and started doing tae kwon do with my son (who is a black belt ... have to catch up or I might be in trouble if he decides to take on the old man someday lol) I have a tendency to play a lot of classes until I hit on one that suits me .. and then I learn as much about that class as possible to be able to play it as well as possible. I am more of a pve kind of guy, but pvp has seen me show up and take a reckoning (and a few arrows). I will always have a Westlocke in game in some form or another. I would like to hear from you guys and see how it goes. Thanks.

Hello all,
A friend of mine (dremic) said he knows some of you from hardforum and spoke highly about this guild.
I'm 23 years old an a Police Officer in Las Vegas. No wife, no kids, but a really expensive golf hobbie :x I played Everquest through middle school and WoW though HS. I lost a lot of time through the police academy and life in general and didnt have the money for a computer for a while, so I mostly played xbox360 games for a couple years. Finally have a decent computer and wanted to start an MMO again. My problem with starting an MMO is I HATE starting when its been out for a couple years or so; there is no emphasis on discovering new things through the low levels and everyone is just focused on the end game. Thats why I'm glad GW2 is coming out now, so everyone starts at the same point.
I love RPG's and fantasy genre. Because of my full time job, addiction to golf, and love for the outdoors, I wont be able to be a really hardcore gamer with 40+ hours a week into a game, but I definitely will be investing some quality time to help everyone out if I'm invited to the guild.

Hey Guys Im new to the whole jumping at a guild thing, I played WoW alot with an old roommate named jesus, but he always picked out the progression guild and various other small things like that. I am 20 I live in a Small town ohio, Im not married or have kids, but Im an avid gamer who is friendly and always looking for someone to play or chat with, because whats an mmo if it doesnt feel like there is a massive community behind it. I played alot of crappy games through the ages such as runescape, and I guess eq was good for its time but I grew bored of it. Ive played alot of the free to play garbage and have been a fan of gw2 since I heard about its development during the original game. Im hoping to have fun and enjoy this game and its people to the fullest. Nice to meet all of you Ariagato gozaimasu . Jakk T Ripper- Asura guardian.

Hey everyone,
I'm a 27 year old guy who plays games way to much. I work full-time during the week (and occasionally on a weekend) in the construction industry as a supervisor. I've played quiet a few MMOs in the past including GW1. I picked up GW2 the day the 3-day headstart began.
I've been involved in a bunch of guilds, from the biggest on the server to one with a handful of members. Looking for a good group to get involved with and enjoy playing GW2 with. Like to join and chill!
I'm typically on my Engineer whose name is Mingle Clunk. I also have a Elementalist whose called Scarlet Plumb. Hope to see you online!
