Title: Guild Wars 2 and Groghead Guild
Post by: son_of_montfort on August 18, 2012, 10:44:19 AM
Hey everyone.

Just wondering who here was getting Guild Wars 2 so that we could organize a bit of a Grogheads guild for fun and profit (and possibly some PVP)?

I don't know anything about the servers, but I have heard that Stormbluff Isle might be a good choice.

The turnout here might not be huge, but I think I read you can belong to multiple guilds and I know a few people from Octopus Overlords and a group that calls themselves the Wanderers, so we could always try to hook up with one of them. The OO people are a lot of fun and despite the fact that some of them have heathen political proclivities compared to members here, I think we would get along swimmingly.

Anyway, we should definitely plan something. If there is going to be interest, I will research how to set up a Guild and such.

Have you done any thinking about servers? I just now got looking into it. You are over at OO, aren't you? They are being wishy-washy about their server, so I thought it best to mobilize more stable people.  ;)

OO???

I haven't done any thinking about servers.
In the Beta I randomly picked one :P

All I prefer is an English PvE one (no free open world PvP).

I'll probably be getting this (have it on pre-order but may have to cancel it).  If so I'm definitely in, although I probably won't be online at the same time as you guys much. :(

I'm not pre-ordering (I think?) so I'll probably jump in when I'm good & ready after release.

AFAIK, my current guild is gonna be there (dunno how many) so I'll probably be hanging with them.  However, I can probably have our guildmiss ally you guys or whatever.  Pretty sure there's one other person hereabouts who's been in that guild too.

Oh, you were?  I guess there was two others at various times, then.  :D

I plan to pick up GW2 but will most likely wait for the price to drop a bit.

I was still deciding whether to go ahead with my pre-order, when suddenly my retailer emailed me a headstart code!  They aren't even on the list so I didn't think I'd get one.  Needless to say, it's sealed the deal and I'll be in tomorrow. :D

I'm off to Emhyr's Bay server.

Too bad SoM disappeard :(
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2 and Groghead Guild
Post by: Tpek on August 25, 2012, 04:26:42 AM
Since SoM disappeard, I create a Grogheads guild on that server.

Current main character's name is Dornak, a Fighter/Warrior Norn.

EDIT:
Also: Trannia, a Human (Female) Necromancer.

And my account's name is Tpek, in case you need the obvious explained :)

I can't have my Grogheads guild consist solely of me :P

I'm on the American server Emhyr's Bay or something like that.
I do believe however that server transfers are free.

OK I'm making characters on Emhyrs Bay.  I made a guardian dude.  Sounded as close a Palidin as I could get in this game.  I love me Palidans and Rangers.

Guardians name is Bhyane

I think server transfers are only free for the first week.

I only have one atm.  I'll play him until I get an urge to try another class, but so far I'm really liking the Guardian and his skills.

I'm GrogHead.8630

Can't find Bison but I found Kushan, Grim Reaper, and Tpek.

My first character is an Asura engineer. It's a little furry for my taste but the role looked interesting. Spent about an hour poking around, sent some friend requests and I'm logging for the night.

Chaps, I'm sorry but I'm going to find a larger guild to join, at least until some more Euro Grogs get the game.  I'm almost always on my own when I play, and since influence is separated by region or server (not sure which) it will be ages before I can even start building upgrades.

If the guild fleshes out a bit with more people in my timezone I'll jump straight back in!
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2 and Groghead Guild
Post by: Tpek on September 20, 2012, 08:26:34 AM
Sorry we can't find enough people closer to your time zone.

Though I do meet you online sometimes (unfortunately you're in a different region).

Just remember that one of the strong points of GW2 is that you can belong to several guilds at once :)

I still plan to jump in at some point once I can afford to buy it - cash is a little tight just now :-((

If this is still running I would like to join in for kicks.
Yskonyn.8469 - I am EU based, so on a different server, but I don't think that would be a problem other than not being able to do WvW together.

I barely had time to play lately, but this reminds me I should REALLY get back in the game.

I think I gave several guild members already the ability to recruit people. If not this is really the time others also take up an Admin spot on the guild :P

I bought this game not because I love MMOs but because I wanted to game with the guys here who were loving it.

LMK when you guys would like to put together a group because I haven't played in weeks.

If you're going to do this over the weekend, I'd be glad to join in.

So far, I've had only a little time playing with fellow grogheads here. Mostly with SoM in fact.
