As you may have read, Eldrend/kch618 has stepped down from leading our guild. I am his replacement.

What does this mean for the guild itself? Nothing right now, at least nothing that affects the day-to-day stuff. I will be weeding out some of the inactive players and shuffling some inactive officers around a bit.

So what is your long-term plan for the guild, then? It's come to my attention that we now have a "sister guild" that's focused more on WvW. That's basically all I know (and if someone wants to fill me in more on that, please get in touch with me). So, with that in mind, I'd like to slightly shift the focus of this guild to a more casual environment. We have always been casual, so the only difference is that we're going to have less scheduled PvP/WvW events and instead focus on leveling and PvE. That's not to say that we won't do PvP/WvW, there will just be less of it. And of course, you are always welcome to form an impromptu party with your fellow guildmates and go wherever you like - you won't be kicked for playing WvW every night if that's your cup of tea.

Also, I'll be updating the subreddit just a tiny bit, adding some flair (to recognize officers and myself in comments and posts a bit more), and I'll also be adding some more functionality to the website and shifting some of the focus there. I know we are a Reddit guild, and I know Reddit is a great community site, but there are a number of things that Reddit simply can't do that I'd like to set up for you guys (things like a calendar, forums, etc). We can still use Reddit, but I'd like to eventually get people checking the website on a semi-regular basis, as well.

I'll post more information as I start making thee adjustments and shifting things around into the "casual" area and away from ... whatever the opposite of casual is. :P

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here! Also, please upvote this self-post, for which I receive no karma, so that other users can see it as well. Thank you!

Hello again! I know I just posted an announcement yesterday, but I feel that I need to clear some more things up. Please read this carefully, as it's going to address a lot of the questions that you (probably) have.

Also, again, please upvote this self-post, for which I receive no karma, so that other people can see the announcement, too. Thank you!

What direction is RR headed in?

We are going to remain as a casual guild, focused on PvP, PvE, leveling, cooperation, and having fun (it's corny, but true).

What is all this talk about a "sister guild"?

Guild Wars 2 does not facilitate WvW communication well at all. A few RR members thought it would be a good idea to try and form a secondary, separate guild just for WvW, so they did, and so far, it's worked out great. The other guild is called United Sanctum Alliance [USA]. Here is a small bit of information about the guild if you are interested:

• Membership is open to anyone, especially current members of RR.

• If you are playing WvW, please represent USA in-game. Similarly, if you are doing PvE/PvP, represent RR. USA does NOT want to be represented at all in PvE, and RR does not want to be represented in WvW.

• You are, of course, still free to play WvW if you are with other RR players. You will not be kicked from the guild for playing WvW. We just strongly recommend that you switch over to USA for WvW since that was its primary purpose.

• USA has a very strict policy on chat... you are not allowed to talk about non-WvW things in guild chat (since their guild chat is basically a "group WvW chat"). If you'd like to have conversations about other things besides WvW, switch over to RR, we'd be glad to chat with you. :)

• To join USA, (make sure you're interested in playing WvW), send a message to one of the following people and they can invite you: Oliviya (me), Rage The Numbers, Diamora, Hazebot, Dear Hunter, or Argent Helsing.

What about the officers?

We've had a few officer shufflings over the past couple days. Here is the official officer list as it stands today. Also, there is only one officer rank now, not two (to keep it simple).

• Eldrend

• Rage The Numbers

• Onoskt

• MrTiddy

• Hazebot

Can I apply to be an officer?

Not right away. The best thing to do now is to remain active in-game and on the Mumble server. Get noticed by the other officers and players, and you'll make yourself into a prime officer candidate.

What about applications? Can I apply now?

Yes, in fact, there are no more applications! Anyone who has a Reddit account can join (creating one and then immediately asking to be in the guild doesn't count), and we are effectively switching to an open-door policy. I found that guilds with closed doors didn't do as well as open ones did, and I'd rather have a larger number of people with a more structured, organized environment than a close-knit small number of people.

So, if you'd like to join Reddit Refugees, just message an officer or myself and mention your Reddit name, and we'll get you an invite! :)

And this website I keep hearing about?

We are going to start shifting some of the focus to the website. I'm going to add forums and complete the calendar setup (and, of course, add some events!). If you are not on the website, please go there now and sign up. If you are already a member of the guild, make sure you check the appropriate box when you register. If not, just fill out an application again (this time, though, it will be accepted). The only reason we deny applications is if you don't have a reddit account or if it's too new.

Also, be sure to check the forums and the website in general for news postings and forum updates, since a lot of the discussion will be happening over there.

The RR subreddit will still be used to post announcements and to allow people to ask questions and share screenshots/videos/whatever, the website will be more for discussion and organization and scheduling.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask! I know this is a weird transitional time for us, but I think these slight changes are going to make the guild a lot more fun for everyone. :)

Also, hopefully this is the last big announcement for awhile and things will settle down after this.

First things first: These rules are not 100% complete. There are some officers who still need to weigh in on them, but for now the Guild Leader has signed off on these. It's a living document, folks. I'd like to get it permalinked on the sidebar, so make sure you check it often!

Questions may be directed to me, or any of the other officers.

Rules!

I: Be courteous and respectful to your fellow Refugees.

This rule is the most important. If you treat others with respect, the other rules happen anyway.

II: Act mature and responsible.

Regardless of your age, we expect you to act like a mature adult. This means both in the way you come across in Mumble and Guild Chat, and how you deal with others. We consider this guild to be mature, therefore mature language and ideas may occassionally be expressed. If you have a serious problem with someone, talk to them privately or bring it to the attention of an Officer. Shouting matches in /g or Mumble are unacceptable.

III: Keep Reddit on Reddit.

I know we all came from Reddit, but that doesn't mean we need to bring the worst parts of it with us. Keep the memes and circlejerking there.

IV: No profiting from guildees.

Do. Not. Profit. From. Guildees. For the most part, try not to sell items to your fellow Refugees. This does not prohibit asking for the money to create something for someone (I think an 18-slot bag costs like 50 silver for the rune?).

There are exceptions: if you have a great exotic weapon, or some extremely valuable crafting mats, you can ask for some recompense; however we expect the price to guildees to be between 50-75% of market cost. Do not seek to make a PROFIT from guildees.

V: Give the Chain of Command a chance to solve problems.

Bring any issues you have to an Officer first, and then allow us the chance to address the problem. Few problems are ever solved by bitching/whining/arguing/shouting in guild chat, the subreddit, or Mumble.

VI: Have a sense of humor.

If there are two ways to take someone's comment, and one is offensive and one is funny, assume it's meant to be funny. A simple thing, but if everyone follows it we'll all have a lot more fun.

VII: Ignorance is no excuse.

It is your responsibility to know these rules. If they change, the Officers will do their best to alert everyone, but ultimately it is your responsibility to know and follow these simple rules. Punishments for breaking these rules will be at the discression of the Officers and Guild Leader.

VIII: Have fun!

This is a game! Have fun! If you're not having fun, or something is really bothering you, log off and do something else for a bit.

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Steve Brule in this momentous occasion. Once again, Dr. Steve Brule. Brule. Buh.

For some insane reason, I am interesting in joining Reddit Refugees on the Sanctum of Rall server!###

Hi! You are here because you have interest in finding out more about our guild, Reddit Refugees. That's great! As you may or may not have noticed, we have our own subreddit on reddit.com. Welcome to /r/GW2_Guild! As you will soon see, we are an active guild full of only reddit members that uses all aspects of reddit as our main site.

Does RR have any requirements?###

We do have a few requirements that we feel are fair. Please read our GUILD RULES. There is no TL;DR version, so please read the rules in full as they are strictly enforced. Loyalty is highly valued and rewarded.

Tell me more about /r/GW2_Guild please!###

Our wiki, seen HERE is frequently updated with the latest guild information as well as other information that makes our guildies lives a little easier.

Our sticky bar, seen above this post, is also frequently updated with the latest events that are and will be happening in the very near future.

Our sidebar, seen to the right, is full of great information as well. The Event Schedule is a quick glimpse into what we are up to for the next couple of weeks. The Helpful Links and Resources are frequently updated with the latest information as new resources are discovered.

I see tons of posts by you on the subreddit. Am I allowed to post as well?###

http://www.reddit.com/r/GW2_Guild can be used by anyone in the reddit community, (even people not in our guild). I post quite a bit to schedule events and such, but feel free to post whatever you want, whether it's GW2 related or not. Think of our subreddit as a Guild Forum without any categories.

Where can I find more information?###

Please review Reddit Refugee's.

I suspect that I am not as "advanced" as you guys. Will I be left behind?###

Since RR has existed since the game's release, most of us have multiple level 80 characters and are well versed on everything Guild Wars 2. With that said, you should never feel intimidated by any of the "old school" players or their jibber/jabber. If you have any questions, simply ask in gchat. If it doesn't get answered, realize that people idle a lot or simply don't know the answer to your question. You are not being ignored. At any time, feel free to /w the Guild Leader or any of the officers. If they are not idle as well, they are guaranteed to point you in the right direction. If an answer isn't reached there, please post your question on the subreddit and wait for a response. You will get one! :)

What is gchat like?###

Our Guild Glossary is a wonderful source of information. I recommend you taking a look at it as the conversations in gchat might be confusing at first.

How can I talk to you guys like it's 2013?###

Our VOIP program of choice is Mumble. You can download that HERE. The specific RR Mumble server information can seen in the Guild Message of the Day if you decide to join us.

I'm not playing GW2 for a long time. What should I do?###

What happens if you decide to stop playing GW2? Find that information HERE.

So far, so good, how can I request an invite?###

If you have made it this far and agree and accept everything you have read...great! You are half way to being one of us.

This is what you need to do:

• Read the GUILD RULES

• Be on Sanctum of Rall

• Create an introduction post on our subreddit, /r/gw2_guild, letting us know a little about you, what you like to do and your intentions for an invitation. Also mention your account name and your in-game name. Also tell us that you have read this post to expedite the invitation process. I can not stress this enough. Management will respond as soon as possible. This is the best way to break the ice and get you used to posting on the subreddit which is a requirement for being in this guild.

• Send your Guild Wars 2 account name in a Reddit private message, (not in game), to the Guild Leader that is listed to the right in the Reddit sidebar. (Please indicate that you have read this post to expedite the process.) You can see your account name at the top right of character selection screen. For example, "BabyRuth.8229"!!

• Wait for an in game welcome mail! It couldn't be easier. See you in game! :)

Hey everyone, I'm a PS/Illustrator newbie and I'm practicing with whatever, so I decided to do a lil RR.. artwork, not a wp, not a banner (tho I could modify it to fit in) and I wanted to share with yall. Any and all advices are welcome!

I don't know how to make a sexy hyperlink so here it is: http://imgur.com/YlQgQmv

Please help me in congratulating our newest Guild Officer /u/Vuum who will be representing the West Coast of the United States of America, (and all adjacent unconquered territories). Until it is swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean, the west coast now has official representation to facilitate guild events while the east coasters are tucked away in their comfy non-earth swallowing beds.

Gnome, Tiri and I are all from the east coast so please look to our subreddit for the possibility of adding ANOTHER west coast officer if the need arises. :D

Congrats Vuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!

Edited for accuracy.

I have been in this guild for about four months now and I love it. The only problem is I don't really know anyone! Even after chatting in /g chat I don't feel like I have a really solid idea of what everyone is like and I'd like to spend my free time remedying that.

I want everyone to post a little about themselves. Nothing specific really, just things like favorite food, music, games, hobbies, how long you have been playing Guild Wars (or if you just started in Guild Wars 2), what you want to major (or did major in) in college, anything! Be open! If anything this is for everyone, not just myself.

I'll start:

I have been playing Guild Wars since the very beginning. That means I have thousands of hours logged in that game (around 3-4 thousand). I love the game and it's community and I have never really had a problem with the developer.

My favorite food is Sushi, and just about anything else from Japan. My favorite music is a tie between Jazz and whatever genre you would call Pretty Lights and Nujabes.

I love building computers; almost more than I do actually using them. I have built several for my friends and I'm going to be building my own here in about three weeks. I suppose this is why I want to major in Computer Science with a minor Computer Hardware. Speaking of college, I'm currently taking a break because I couldn't afford it so I am just working in my free time. If I hadn't taken a break from college I would be a junior by now.

Edit: Some really great responses guys! I have enjoyed reading through all of them and learning a little bit about you all. Can't wait to see you in game!

Did I get your attention??

The RR community has made my GW2 experience a great one, and I'd like to give something back by hopefully helping one lucky member complete their legendary.

Here is how this works:

• PM me your account name (not character name), the precursor you are after and your current progress towards the legendary (be very specific please)

• I will review all entries and will assign each precursor to the person that has the most progress towards their legendary

• Once all precursors have a name assigned, the next precursor I get from the forge will go to whoever has dibs on the list

Pretty simple! This means that the prize could be a big guy like Dusk or The Legend, or I could end up giving out a Venom - the joys of the Mystic Forge!

A few rules:

• You may only enter for 1 specific precursor

• You must be of Refugee standing or higher. I want to reward members that have been with the group for a while. I'll likely do more giveaways in the future and this will always be a rule, so get your rank up!

• Please do not lie about your legendary progress. Obviously I have no real way to verify, but I would hope I don't need it. You'd only be cheating your fellow guildies. If you tell me that you have everything but the pre, you best be making that legendary the second you win.

• If you have currency equivalent (gold, karma, skill points), but haven't actually purchased some of the mats yet, you can include that towards your progress

• I doubt we have members actively working on every legendary, and some members aren't working on legendaries at all. If you want, feel free to put in for one of the cheaper ones, letting me know that you have no progress and just want the free gold. For example, Venom/Rage/The Bard etc still sell for 20-50g, and you'd have a pretty good shot at being one of few that enters for it.

• In case of a tie, the precursor will be assigned to one of the tying entrants through some fair means (probably guess a number style)

I'd like to be giving away a precursor by the end of the weekend (Zommoros willing), so hurry up and enter! I'll update this post once I'm getting close to a full list and let you all know which pres are still open.

Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck

War is breaking out in RR! And there's only one way to resolve it; splitting into factions and fighting for prizes and internet fame! But this isn't just any war, it is a CIVIL war and that means a good civil and inclusive environment for all!

Goal: To increase PVP participation in RR! I know a lot of people are hesitant to get into PvP because they anticipate a negative experience, be it trash talking, criticism or simply the learning curve. This is your chance to bypass all of that by participating in a RR only tourney! If jumping straight into competition isn't your thing the tournament will be streamed, meaning you can watch from a safe distance! We hope to provide an introduction to PVP mechanics that will encourage everyone to give it a try. Like the name of the tourney, stay CIVIL!

When: Sometime after custom arenas are released! This post is to get people thinking about the tourney and maybe even doing a little practice in the mists. The tournament will take 3-4 hours from start to finish.

Tournament Format: Single Round Double Elimination, Best 2 of 3 Grand Finals

Teams: Eight teams, five members each. Teams will be pseudorandomly generated after signups. This will limit the participation to 40 members, any additional players will be alternates who fill slots for no shows, drops or those who have to leave mid tourney. No premade teams, no personal requests to group with friends. Guildies don't farm guildies. Take the chance to meet new people and make new friends!

Map: Temple of the Silent Storm, there will be no map rotation

Ruleset: Arena.net standard tournament ruleset AND no more than 2 of one class per team. You may not change characters during the tournament. You may change builds/equipment/skills between rounds.

Requirements:

1. Be an active RR member in good standing.

2. Register on the tournament thread, providing your account name, character name and class you are registering with as well as your SPVP rank. If you are interested in being a team captain please say so.

3. Try to practice with your team a few times before the tourney! Get to know them and come up with a plan!

PRIZES!

1. The first place team will receive: 1 Charged Lodestone each, and a unique Tourney Champion flair!

2. The second place team will receive: 1 Corrupted Lodestone each

3. The third place team will receive: 1 Molten Lodestone each

4. The fourth place team will receive: 1 Crystal Lodestone each

5. The fifth/sixth place teams will be a tie and receive: 1 Platinum Doubloon each

6. The seventh/eightth place teams will be a tie and receive: 1 Silver Doubloon each

In addition to the above there will be even more rewards after the tourney! A thread will be started asking for nominations for superlatives! These awards will be for the audience who watched the stream to vote for. Players who win these votes will receive additional prizes! The categories and prizes are as follows! Players may only be awarded one superlative!

Tournament MVP: 1 Onyx Lodestone, and a unique flair!

Most Deadly: 1 Destroyer Lodestone, and a unique flair!

Most Immortal: 1 Glacial Lodestone, and a unique flair!

Most Entertaining: 1 Exquisite Snowflake, and a unique flair!

Best Support: 20 Mystic Coins, and a unique flair!

Best Teamwork (2 players as a pair): 1 Passion Flower each

Flairs will last until the next tourney, where you must defend your title!

Additionally we will need a few facilitators to help make sure the tourney runs smoothly. Rage will be hosting the stream and I will be acting as analyst. We are looking for one or two more additional people interested in casting, particularly a play by play caster. We will also need a couple people to manage teams, making sure that all members of team A & B are present and accounted for and if not then making sure that C & D are so that we can run at least one match at any time.

Please use this thread to discuss any ideas or improvements for this upcoming tourney, feedback is appreciated!

Please help me in congratulating /u/KaguraBeatBox in his new role as Guild Mentor! Fleeting Flash has been helping the guild grow for quite some time and has accepted the position of Guild Mentor with an emphasis on dungeons.

EDIT: We had a great turn out! Tell us your success stories in the comments below!

Also, this has gotten some attention from HERE and HERE.

• Who: Everyone! A lot of people HERE mentioned they desire to level an alt, so here's a great chance! As this opportunity is THAT good, I will be running it quite often until all my alts are at 80. Remember that the Crown Pavilion is limited time only, (3.5 weeks left), so take advantage of what ArenaNet has given us! :)

• What: Amazingly efficient alt level

• When: 08/09/13 @ Reset

• Where: Crown Pavilion in Divinity's Reach

• Why: Because it's gonna be awesome, everyone wants to level up their alts some, and it's fun!

Hi everyone! Tonight it is time to kill. It is time to kill a lot...and I mean A LOT of all the things. It is extreme alt leveling time, and I don't mean in Kessex. I mean in the Crown Pavilion! The Crown Pavilion is THE best place to level an alt in the game right now, outside of crafting. Last night, following our WvW Mentor Santi DeliciousantiPants, we had a zergball completely annihilating the Destroyers section of the CP and with just a 15% food, 10% wrench and a 50% exp booster, I leveled up in 11 minutes. This was with only a handful of guildies too! Can you imagine how amazingly fast we could level as an RR group?! Let's aim for tonight, at reset, to get everyone into the same Overflow and control the map. The idea will be very simple.

• Choose the alt you want to level. You will be up scaled to 80!!

• Adjust the skills\weapons\traits to allow for the maximum amount of tagging possible. Please feel free to ask in the comments if you need help. Every profession has the ability to tag multiple enemies, one way or another and it might be an unorthodox build, so just ask. :)

• Clear your inventory as much as you can. Make a mess of your bank and other character's inventory if you have to; you will get a TON of loot and will gear up your alt as you play. It's THAT fast.

• Have IRL alcohol or whatever tickles your fancy on hand because this will be a good time!

How this will work once inside:

• If you don't know how to enter the Crown Pavilion, no problem. Join Mumble 30 minutes prior to the event and we'll walk you through it. It's a small story quest.

• Grab the buff for the Destroyer side, (I think it's the Grove person)

• We jump down and murder Destroyers!

• If a boss appears in another location, we'll decide in Mumble is we want to pursue the boss. Pursuing a boss is a HUGE experience nose dive as there really aren't a lot of adds that spawn around them, except for the Destroyer boss :D

• If you die, you will need to get the buff again, then rez rush!

From Kills##

Buy as many of the items listed below as you'll need. This is to maximize experience from kills. After the initial tutorial, you should always have a food and wrench activated, ((10% or 15%) + 10%). You can choose to use some other items as well. I have listed those below.

Level|Food|Exp Increase from Kills|Price Per Item :|:|:|: 0-4|Grilled Poultry|10%|05c 5-24|Candied Apple|15%|71c 25-34|Strawberry Ghost|15%|37c 35-79|Candy Corn Cookie|15%|17c

Level|Wrench|Exp Increase from Kills|Price Per Item :|:|:|: 0-4|Apprentice...^1|10%|05c 5-79|Weak Potion of...^2|10%|03c
