Being Part of a Guild (Part I)
|
Today, I will talk about my experiences with guilds. After all, this is what the game is about.
Basically, a guild is composed of a Guild Leader, some Officers, and the Guild Members. To create a guild, you have to have a bit of ready cash. The requisite cape costs 2 platinums (2k gold), the guild hall where the GvG (Guild versus Guild) battles take place costs 20k. After that, the Leader has to pay 100g per person he invites.
When I started to play GW, I had no clue what a guild was about. I guessed it was like a group of fellow players, knowing each other and having fun together. That is more or less it.
The first guild I belonged to was not very large (about 10 members). I was not paying too much attention to it, and after several weeks, I noticed that I was... the only one left.
The Guild Leader left me a message wishing me well!
Hmm, at that time, I didn't know what to do with it, so I finally quit it. I should have tried to sell it or something like that, but I had no clue at that time.
Being 'guildless' with level-20-characters is annoying. I got spammed by lots of people to accept being part of their guild. Feeling weary, I finally decided to join a guild, but one I could enjoy. I was invited by a nice guy. We get along pretty well (having the same views about the guild), and he promoted me quickly as an officer. We started to recruit a lot and finally have about 20 members. The drawback is that whenever I am online, none of the other guild members are... Talk about team spirit! It's been a while like this and I’m starting to be fed up of the situation. The only few active members we had are progressively leaving the guild. Most of them had the decency to talk to me before doing so, and yet I could not convince them to stay.
I'm going to leave this guild, I know. It's only a matter of time. A friend of mine who just created his own guild invited me. At the same time, there's another guild where there are only 'mature' players who recently invited me. They seem to have lots of fun together. Anyway, I will make my decision soon.

My guild consists of me and four other real-life friends. Only three of us play regularly. It's not that nice when you're trying to find real people to do a Mission, but guildies aren't around... And then you have to resort to grouping with PUGs. My experience with PUGs has been mixed, but in general positive. The main thing I dislike about PUGs, apart from assholes, is that a Mission that should be easy can be much more difficult with randoms (but less so than with Henchies).
I wouldn't mind having another person on my friends list, so if you want someone to quest/farm/Mission with, get in touch. My IM/email contact info is on my blog. :-D
My main character is a Curses/Domination SS Necro/Mesmer.
I just Ascended, and I need to do the Dragon's Lair Mission this weekend at some point.
P.S. -- It's really cool to find someone else who blogs about Guild Wars. We are, sadly, few and far between (but then, I may not have looked hard enough).
