Come hangout with fellow believers!

We played in the Diablo IV server slam and several of us will be playing come launch. If you're looking for a new game to add to the mix, consider Diablo IV and joining Above Water for demon slaying. Check out some highlights here.

Thanks for the bump!

Come socialize with family-friendly gamers. Feel at home with Above Water.

We've got a group running in the original Guild Wars trilogy (the best work ANet has ever done) for those who are wanting to get that lore buzz and hall of monument points.

Above Water is active in Guild Wars 2, WoW, and actively recruiting for Ashes of Creation! Join us today to have a variety of games to play with an engaging community.

The New Year is right around the corner! Celebrate with your community. :D

We got your application! It may take up to 24-48 hours to get all the votes in, so hang tight. :)

We're looking forward to Wintersday this month! Until then, we'll be adventuring around Tyria and being gaming nomads in other worlds. Like Vermintide 2.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween holiday. Up next...Wintersday. Join Above Water to have teammates for all the snowball fights and toy destruction.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Above Water! (Halloween Video Here)

If ArenaNet wants to continue drawing newcomers in and holding on to long time veterans, personal housing would be a plus. FFXIV has housing, BDO has housing, New World has housing, Elder Scrolls Online, ArcheAge, LotRO, and even Ultima Online had housing...and future competitors will have housing (coughAshesOfCreationcough coughPaliacough). That said, I don't see ANet ever adding in personal housing and if housing is truly important to the player, they can seek that feature in any of the competitors. I'm personally waiting on Ashes of Creation to drop as it seems to have everything ANet is offering and then some so once Verra opens up I won't be calling myself a Tyrian any longer. GUILD WARS 1. Ah, the best project ever birthed by ArenaNet. Pre-Searing is beautiful and still rather active to this day (though not as active as it was in its early life). I have a Perma-Pre character who still hangs out at the bottom of the stairs doing the swim and shooting the breeze with the other locals. Have a crap ton of birthday minis on that character too. For me, it's worth having a Perma-Pre character if for no other reason than the heavy dose of nostalgia that tickles my dopamine receptors. Lol.

Good question! The majority of us play in the Eastern zone and most of our events are planned around that zone.

The Halloween event is right around the corner and our guild is excited to loot all the Trick-or-Treat bags. Join us now to join us in Tyria's events as well as other worlds Halloween festivities.

Do you feel that crispness in the air? Ah, soon pumpkin spice will rule the lands. I'm still team spiced cider though. Whether you're all about the pumpkin or all about the cider, you'll find your flavor in Above Water. Join us before the holidays hit and be prepared to run amuck when our Mad King makes his entrance into Tyria. We're actively recruiting for Guild Wars 2 and other upcoming MMOs (Ashes of Creation, anyone?). Getting burned out on fighting dragons and slaying the god of War? We get that. Above Water hosts party game nights like Jackbox Party Games and Gartic Phone. Want to simply chill? Hop in comms just to hangout with members and shoot the breeze. If you're in the mood for a co-op, Above Water is currently hosting a Project Zomboid server. (Co-op servers change every 30-90 days to keep it fresh.) If you're interested in joining, just pop to our AboveWater.net site and give us a read.

Still around, still recruiting. The community is playing various games and our flavor of August is Tower of Fantasy. We're also setting up to head back into FFXIV this Fall/Winter. Join us if you'd like to add some wholesome spice to your life. :) Still have our core group in Guild Wars 2 doing PvE, hunting bosses, and killing harvest nodes.

Are you looking for a community that does more outside of just playing Guild Wars 2? Above Water is recruiting! We do play Guild Wars 2, but we don't limit ourselves to just the world of Tyria. We're also busy exploring the realms of Elder Scrolls Online, venturing through survival games like Raft/Project Zomboid/V Rising, preparing for Ashes of Creation, and we have a couple of amazing DMs running Pathfinder nights (veteran players & newcomers both welcomed). If you want to explore more lives than that of The Commander---join us. If you want to be a part of more lives than just your own---join us. If you want to be a member in a community---join us. To see our latest shenanigans, watch Above Water Plays Raft.

We're still around and still playing! ____________ Are you playing V Rising? We are too! Join us today to access a dedicated V Rising server with fellow Christian/Family-Friendly vampires.

I love your enthusiasm! We encourage everyone who is interested in joining to submit an application through our Guilded (it's like Discord). I hope you'll consider submitting one when you're free.

We're still active! Still recruiting! Still playing a multitude of games! We've started up AmongUs nights for a limited time. Come join us for some serial murder shenanigans! When you're not battling dragons in Tyria, of course. Video of Above Water playing AmongUs

How does asking for a permanent disguise go outside the system though? They already have the ability to flip your character to a randomized version of whichever race fits the gameplay---so one would think that having a customizable, but permanent option would be possible. Editing tonics to do the same would also work, but if I'm choosing between a drink or getting hexed by a powerful Mesmer (like our Barefoot Queen), I want that hex.

Unless it's going to be a one time use, forever applied tonic---like the Phial of Fantasia from FFXIV---then no thank you.

Sorry to necro a thread, but I've been thinking about this more and I think I've come to a good compromise. In the world of Tyria there are missions and fractals that change one's appearance into a different race. Like Urban Battleground Fractal that changes everyone into a Charr or the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal that flips you to an Asuran. There are also storyline quests that will put users in a "disguise" of varying looks. With this in mind, it could be possible to have a "Mesmer Illusion" spell that would change your outward appearance, but all of your storyline would adhere to your original race choice. So, I would continue on my Human Story while looking like a Charr and vice versa. Boom! It's lore friendly and solves the problem. Also, it can be sold in the BLTC. So, more revenue for those ANet pockets. It also let's people do the whole, "My character is a Charr who identifies as a Human" thing and I feel like that's all the rage these days (because they can look like a Charr while doing the Human Story).

You're more than welcomed to apply via our application on Guilded. Pfffft. I clicked it. You got me good.

We're still recruiting for GW2. But. We're also playing other games together. If you're interested in games like Project Zomboid, Tribes of Midgard, Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Jackbox Games or other games---join us for a variety of fun.
