Okay, so I know it's been fairly quiet lately and I for one will say that it's been very chill lately, very enjoyable. However, it seems with the new update we may have to look into expanding the size of our guild in order to participate in Guild Missions with any degree of success. I know most of us have been playing together/known each other for years, so I want to find a way to attract new members that also fit in. A couple thoughts, -Our old member vetting policy was too strict, but we still need to have some sort of way to see if new folks are hotheads or not. -We will certainly need a lot of new members, though personally I'd like to avoid spamming for people in Lion's Arch. If anybody has any ideas/input, feel free to post below, we're going to need it

Xaja - I will very often find myself invited to party up with folks I don't know when running events or leveling/gathering, especially in the high level areas. Is it possible we could take opportunities like those to get to know people a little bit and then invite them as long as they don't turn out to be jerks?

Red is good about getting in groups like that. He is a social butterfly.

I know whenever I go and do the temple events in Orr there are usually people there looking for a guild, and for the most part they are all very helpful and pleasant people to be around. If we do start looking for new members, I think that would be a good place to start.

I thought this might be a good place to link to this interesting piece at Kill Ten Rats about guilds and guild missions: www.killtenrats.com/2013/03/05/gw2-guild-score/The tl;dr version: a small guild like ours has two big obstacles to overcome to unlock guild missions: influence and the tier 1 guild bounty. I just don't see that we have the numbers to clear both of those hurdles. Not at present. A recruitment campaign is necessary if we are serious about guild missions. I think two of the best places to advertise for new members are the guild recruitment threads on reddit ( www.reddit.com/r/guildrecruitment ) and the Stormbluff Isles forum ( www.stormbluffisle.com/index.php/forum/recruitment-forum ). We could post something there, stressing that we're very casual, friendly, and mostly (though not completely) comprised of members who also have many IRL commitments. I can go either way on guild missions. There is already plenty to keep me busy in this game, but I will wholeheartedly support any efforts to gain access to them. Thoughts?

Thanks, Eld. I agree with everything you said. I'm one of those players who has IRL commitments, and can therefore go either way on guild activities. That said, I have the best time when I am grouped with guildies.

Yes, I think that we should expand, but I would like similarly minded people in the game. I would prefer it if people didn't expect us to dedicate our entire waking life to Guild Wars, but I would like to be able to access all the features of the game, so when we have the time we can utilize them. I will try to make posts in both of those forums outline who we are and what we stand for as I'd like to see activity come up.

IRL? Whats IRL. Xaja what ever happened to us and some of our friend guilds getting together and taking turns as to which guild we are representing. BTW I have 6 chars that I sign on everyday. Doesn't everyone else? I use mine for farming hi level nodes.

I think Chay is waiting for TeG to get guild rewards right now and to Roxy earlier, yes, invite people you meet if they seem cool

and they can be in another guild and still come play with us for a bit to try it out. I have an idea lets put Aaron and Roxy out in LA and let them show a little leg to get us some more guildies. j/k we don need more members like me.

Haha.....still too funny here. Hello, all, a voice from the past, Angel here. Unless you added another Angel while I was gone, then I can change my name, if you'll still have me. My home is in escrow [for the 2nd time] so if things go as planned I'll be in a new place and ready to play GWs 1 and 2 in 2-3 months. My little girl is doing well in school and we have her finances under control so I get to play GWs again soon, I hope. I'll let you know when I'm officially back, but all my toons will be low level so it will be a bit of time before I can run with the big dogs. I'll try to log into the guild website now and then on a laptop to catch any exciting news. Hoping to see ya soon. Angel.

We don't use the forums so much anymore Angel, but please PM any of us in game when you come back! I'm still Xaja Shin! I know Fate still plays quite a bit as well. I just settled into my new apartment, so I should be one more frequently!
