WvW vet, i have many characters.

guilds need to know:~ what server are you on? (this is important for WvW, but NOT for PvE, raids, fractals, PvP, etc)~ do you prefer roaming(say 1-5 people), havoc(say 10-20 people), or zerging(map blob of 50+)?~ do you prefer military style or laid back?~ do you prefer fighting other players or taking other objectives (like towers and keeps)?~ do you prefer Alpine Border Lands (ABL) . Desert Border Lands( DBL aka Red BL), or Eternal Battle Grounds (EBG)?~ each guild will probably let you know which VoiP client to use. (for example: Discord, but there are many others)

TL;DR version from the following, with maybe a little more WvW specific Questions... keep in mind you can join up to 5 guilds

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 TitleYour 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 BodyGive 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 homeworkMost 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!
