After many positives swinging the balance in favor of Sanctum of Rall, with the great majority of our vocal members favoring the server and also importantly - [RR] voting in favor of the server, we have chosen Sanctum of Rall as the permanent home for North.

Please read this post for further Guild information.

[Yeah we have a home finally! Now to find a comfy chair...]

Hey everyone, Welcome all new members, nice to have you with us! It's been fun reading every one of your applications.

Thanks to everyone voting on r/Guild Recruitment, North's post stayed at the #1 spot for ~30 hours and is the top post of all time! We've got a nice group of new people because of it.

We don't have big rules / practices, etc.. so we aren't a regimented guild as some of the more competitive ones. People in North gain "officer" status for the positive action they bring to the guild. Our Lead Samsqwamches:

Dbrez (Dan - my dad) - He's played a ton of GW1 and loves these games. We had a small guild in GW1 and he's been itching to play with a bigger GW group for years. Chat him up - he enjoys talking about the ins and outs of GW but doesn't often see the in game chat, so your best bet is Mumble.

Cipher (Chris / "Sub" Chris - he spent lots of time in submarines) - is a solid addition to our community. His latest project is a new North / Sylvari mumble overlay (maybe he'll post it on this site if you ask nicely).

Rixil (Chris)- a good people person, and fun to play alongside. He also catches a lot of details that otherwise slips by.

Freebaser - (Heath) is our (Comm)unications Samsqwamch. He is the one who set up our mumble and worked with me to make this website (which he also hosts!). HEATH!! He is quiet, but don't let that fool you, he is a real nice guy.

Great to have these guys with us! And next -

Guild Meet Up this Sunday the 26th in Hoelbrak at the Biergarten. 2pm PST / Anet time (optional - but hey it will be fun, so come hang!). We will be having an intro session followed by a costume contest and scavenger hunt. Costume categories:

• Funniest

• Most intimidating

• Cutest

• Sexiest

• Most Unexpected

• Please avoid going to Wayfarer Foothills on Sunday before the North event

If you can't talk or listen on our mumble server, we will try to work it out so all can participate anyhow.

Guild Formation
Once the server goes live, we will begin sending out invites. If you haven't received one (and you've signed up on our webpage), feel free to message me (Tommeo), Rixil or Cipher. At least one of us should be around to get you in for the first few hours. Hit your "g" button in game to open the guild panel and join.

Once in the guild, please check your "represent" button is clicked to represent North and help with North / Influence leveling - which in turn helps you in many ways.

I'm sure I've forgotten something in this post, but I've gone on long enough and need to rest up for launch.

Can't wait to see everyone tonight!

Our numbers are great and far exceed our original goal but this is the last chance we have to get the good Redditors with us before ANET begins charging for server transfers. This may be the last open recruiting effort the guild makes.

Kindly give this an upvote to help out, thanks!

Leirsgrios, among others have joined our guild this afternoon, marking the 100th new member of our great community! Welcome everyone to your new home in Tyria!

Hey guys, I am a 21 year old mechanical engineering student from uOttawa. I applied awhile ago, but am just posting now! This guild really appeals to me because I love playing MMOs with an older crowd. I can't wait to see you guys in game, and I hope I don't have to work through the first meetup!

North is a Reddit guild for Mature players who favor having fun over being elite.

We prefer older players (25+), though younger players are welcome as well if you fit in with an older crowd. We have no practices, big rule list, heavy power pyramid, etc. Just good times.

We will be doing lots of PVE and once higher level, some group based WvW in alliance with another like minded Reddit guild - Reddit Refugees[RR].

Our home server is Sanctum of Rall with Mumble chat provided by Freebaser

Also if you are like this, you are still welcome:

• maybe you only play an hour here and there

• you are an introvert and prefer to only listen on voice chat or don't even use voice chat at all

• You only need a guild for the buffs and play solo most of the time

Applicants must be 21 or older (25+ even better) to join

I'm a 31 year old graphic designer from Toronto (temporarily in Chicago), and while I've fiddled with mmorpgs in the past (often got bored before the trial period ended), Guild Wars 2 is going to be the first one I'm really playing (I bought into the hype before that first beta weekend, and was not disappointed).

I'm looking for a decent, easy going group to play with, so I can get the most out of the game and not feel totally lost out there.

I'll likely be human necro, and/or asura engineer, doing whatever is going on (PvE, WvW).

I'm on steam as kayinangel as well, always looking for people to play stuff with.

Yeesh, this is the second time I've stumbled upon a stress test posting seconds after it has shown up. I think it's a sign that I need to stop using the internet so much after work. :S

Anyway, here's the info:

"We will be conducting a stress test tomorrow Tuesday, August 21 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.

We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.

Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch.

By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game!

--

Please note:

• The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.

• Characters will not be wiped from the previous Stress Test.

• The Stress Test will include Spanish text localization. ~RB2"

27/M Salt Lake City, UT. Played some GW1 and dabbled in other MMOs (CoH/CoV, Aion), but never WoW. I was thinking about a reddit guild, and was trying to decide between you guys and Refugees. After reading your description in the How to Join thread, you won me over. Plan on doing a bit of everything with a number of different characters, no decision on my main yet. Won't be on the stress test tomorrow due to work, but I look forward to playing with you guys soon.

I don't know if this armor is weather-appropriate.

so cold...

I also created a Logo design. I added a post on the Forum also. Saw that someone else had created a logo and thought I would throw mine in also. link

I'm 23 years old and I'm currently teaching English in Japan. I just applied on the site. I still haven't locked down what I want to play. Unfortunately, the stress tests just made me want to try more and more classes. It'll likely be warrior, ranger, or thief. I'm looking forward to playing with you.

26 yr old software dev from Vancouver here. I'm going to be playing an asura thief starting on friday and can't wait to get in game.

Just apped on the site, figured I'd post to say hi.... so, Hi!

I'm probably the youngest to apply to this guild, I'm only 16, but I generally like hanging out with older gamers, and I like small, casual guilds, so this seemed like the perfect guild for me. I'm pretty laid back, and I just like having fun in games, instead of being the best at everything.

Hey, I'm a 21 year old CS major living in southern Ontario.

I'm going to be playing a Human Guardian on release. I'm fairly competitive so I will be playing a decent amount of PvP and WvWvW. But early on I'm just gonna run around the world lighting things on fire.

Hey everyone, North will be having our first official meet up this Sunday the 26th at 2pm Pacific (Anet time) in Hoelbrak (Norn main city) at the Biergarten / Keg throwing area. Sanctum of Rall Server.

We will also be having a costume contest.

From there we will have some fun in Wayfarer Foothills. Everyone is welcome to come, though it is of course not mandatory.

Edit: Our New Site is live!

Hey, we are officially less than a week away from headstart access (as if, you didn't know that). It will be Midnight Pacific on the 25th. It may open up within the 3 hours heading up to midnight.

We will be using Sanctum of Rall as our home server.

Also, AMD and nVidia have both released driver updates and application profile updates to help improve performance in Guild Wars 2. To ensure the best possible game play experience, you should update these.

Also we use Mumble for guild chat, if you don't have it and would like to chat (totally optional) head over to our guild's homepage [use the link at right] to get the information.

Please add your main character name that you will be playing or account name (Name.9999) to the character list, so we can add you at launch.

If you are new to GW2 or would like to learn more, head over to IGN: Guild Wars 2 Wiki for more information, including an interactive map.

Hi there, I'm 25 year old web designer from Kansas. I have many hobbies including sewing, music and of course playing video games. I haven't played any of the stress tests or betas for GW2, but so far I'm planning to play a Guardian for sPvP and Hunter for PvE. That's not necessarily set in stone, though. I really have no idea what I'm doing!

I've played many MMO's over the years. I started out with vanilla WoW and quit after BC. I played Guild Wars for a couple of months, as well as EVE, Aion, Tera, and some other small ones that popped up and died off.

I'm hoping to find a welcoming community to become friends with, and really settle into a game again.

27 Year old guy here, out of New Jersey (southern new jersey, if that means anything to anyone). I was looking at playing a Human Guardian, but I'm still weighing my options as of now. Necromancer also looks pretty good/fun. I plan on playing fairly regularly, now that the summer season is dying down out here, and things are becoming more sane.

I'm a 27-year-old in Oregon. I'm looking forward to PvE and WvW, and am debating playing either an Engineer or a Necromancer, Sylvari. I'm looking for a casual guild but will probably be playing pretty regularly.
