Day 10: How many guilds are you in? Do you have a main guild?

GW2 30 Day Challenge 

Capped at 5!

[fox] Fox Bunnies - A silly name. Back when town clothes were all in individual slots, before outfits, the boything and I would sit in Lion’s Arch (RIP OG LA.) with the winter outfit on, and bunny ears on our asura, and had the Mini Arctic Fox Kit minis out. We came up with the name as a throw away guild. I bought it a full guild bank one day, and we’ve kept it ever since as our 2nd Guild Bank.

[BPA] Blinkie Ponie Armie - My home Guild Wars (1) guild. Back in the days of LiveJournal, my friends and I dumped way too much time volunteering on the support team. The team, my team, who handled customisation / styling questions were referred to as the Blinkie Ponie Armie. Users would often ask for god awful things to be done to their journals, such as gaudy backgrounds, blinking things, journals with tiny 4pt font in baby pink, on a smoky pink background, etc etc. We always wished would could reply “and would you like a pony with that too?” So Blinkie Ponie became a thing, and when it came to the collective we became the “armie” (well aware of the correct spelling, thanks). Blinkie Ponie has become our collective name now ever since 2001 give or take. 

In Guild Wars (1) one of our guildies submitted a Paragon Henchman build to a GvG/HA contest and she won! (It was literally the para meta build. lol <_<). Since she was allowed to name the NPC as long as it fit within the GW-verse, she was called Blenkeh. :D Blenkeh lives on as an NPC, and the tonic said guildie received eventually got sold on for something stupid like 400 armbraces in the last few months of GW1 prior to GW2′s release. We spent those armbraces decking out pretty much anyone in the guild who wanted Obsidian Armor and anything else for their HoM’s. Then towards the end guildie and I just went on a spending spree buying all kinds of dumb things we’ve always kind of wanted, but not really. So we bought things like Bone Dragon staves, or Obsidian Edges. Since the guildie hated dealing with people in Kamadan I was the trader on her behalf. At the time armbraces were selling for 28-29 ecto, we found a guy who would do trades for 25e, as much as we could give him. So while we were gettting a lower price, going to the same guy over and over made it worth it. We spent way too much of that money on Balthazar loot boxes and zaishen keys. It was great. :D There’s still some of the armbraces left I believe, and I’m still sat on so much loot. :D

[ZAN] Zander - Boything’s guild he made just for some guild storage. He invited me to it, again, we built up the guild bank and use it for storing our every day shit. When we’re super active in game we can usually fill it up with materials in about a month, and sell them off for around 400-500g~ and that’s on top of money we make ourselves. It’s been a few months since we’ve done a big sell off. But our little joint bank account has funded many a legendary or what have you between us :)

[SF] Strike Force - My previous “home” guild. I’ve been with SF since about 2013. I joined them for WvW after my previous WvW guild went silent and am now just part of the furniture. I haven’t WvW’d seriously for about 2 years now, maybe a bit more? I had a year or so absence with them when the leader split off into his own guild and a lot of us followed said leader..... (getting to that in the next guild...) when that guild got abandoned I was invited back into SF by the new leadership and I’ve stayed ever since. I’m not active with them in game, but I do care abou tthem, and I do my part to not let them devolve into a total bunch of shitlords. I try... they make it difficult.

[CO] Celestial Order - The guild I consider “home”. I mentioned above that I spent about a year out of SF. Our guild leader at the time was unhappy with things and so left to make a new guild by the name of [CAIN]. We had this new leadership, were happy, things were calmer and nicer. A lot of us took a GW2 break to go play Black Desert Online, and uh, shit happened and many of us parted ways, but we still kept the GW guild alive. We pumped thousands of gold into building the CAIN Guild Hall while our guild leader was otherwise occupied IRL (to put it lightly) so I wasn’t willing to let that damn guild go. I was only an officer, but I put my heart, soul, and wallet into keeping that guild ticking.

Time passed and the owner of [CAIN] was 100% done with GW2 and “letting his friend” play on his account. So to avoid anything happening with [CAIN] he gave leadership to me. (Something that should have happened before he became otherwise occupied IRL, but I digress....) For about 2-3 years I sat on the CAIN guild. It had a lot of bad associations to it, but I didn’t want to just abandon it. Like I said, thousands of gold poured in. A few months back I finally got around to opening a ticket with support to change the name. The name I wanted was taken, but a little accent over the i was barely noticeable, and I really wanted the name. A nice GM helped me out and allowed the name change.

The guild is now home to a small bunch of cross-server WvWers who I’ve known through Strike Force and it’s amusing watching them when they’re fighting each other, haha. :D

So yeah. CAIN turned into Celestial Order [CO]. A nod to a friend I haven’t heard from in about 6 years, and I miss her dearly. She had a guild in GW1 (and remade in GW2) Celestial Order of the Bow. Her guild got me through some shitty times, and she gave me home and helped re-build me up after a catasrophic loss of friends. Secondly, chose the guild name as I felt it fit within the GW lore. I felt like there could be a group of people who studied the canthan Celestials. So Celestial Order it was :)

This got a bit rambly, but yes, these are my 5 guilds. For a while I would run around tag-less and I would get people PMing me to join their guilds. I would politely turn them down, telling them I was guild capped. I got mixed reactions from the logical “Oh! I’m sorry. Have a nice day :) “ or “No worries!” to the completely batshit “Well your guilds must all be shit if you’re not repping them! Join mine!” Yes. Go ahead and insult my friends, that will totally make me want to join you....

Ok I’m done. Really....

[ezraholic-art]

1. I started 01.11.2012 but I played for like 17 levels and then I came back to gwme like 1 year later and really started to play the game.

2. The one I created in 2012 was a norn guardian female but I didn't play her except these 17 levels so you can say my true first character was my male human mesmer.

3. 55 characters atm

4. Sylvari forever

5. Least favorite... playable I guess asura, overall probably quaggan?

6. I like PvE more

7. Yes, idm supporting developers of my favorite game

8. Favorite zone as of now probably The Echovald Wilds

9. The Grove is best, totally not biased. But I like Hoelbrak a lot too

10. Favorite PvP map... Skyhammer! For WvW it's Desert Borderlands

11. I guess it would be Perfected Envoy Breastplate (pve legendary heavy armor chestpiece) because I love the wings animation on weapon unseathe!

12. Atm 35.989 AP

13. Yes, feel free to ask for RP with me 💛

14. I don't really have a guild per se, only some chat-hubs with friends

15. Yeah, angry cuz of time wasted with pugs and repeating same mechanics over and over again when they claim they have like 500LI or sth

16. I love jumping puzzles!! Not So Secret was my favorite one

17. Best GW2 experience... probably meeting a lot of kind or funny people along the way, the random encounters are best!

18. Qadim is my favorite lore character!!

19. I like idea of mechanist but gods it is boring as f

20. I completed all there is to SAB, love the event and loved torturing myself on tribulation modes

21. Favorite weapon skin would be very hard to pick... Sharur, Ebonhawke Crossbow, Possession...

22. I have some leggies... HOPE, Sharur, The Binding of Ipos, Pharus, Warbringer and some pve armor

23. Sharur ftw

24. Don't really hate a race, some I just like less

25. I hate going vs Daredevils and Mirages, just too many dodges/invulnerability

26. I am v thankful for that_shaman but overall I am not following gameplay of others.

27. First... I can't really tell, been too long.

28. Depends. Sometimes I feel like listening to music from game, sometimes I don't. I usually have effects on only, esp for raids.

29. I don't stream

30. I like in-game fashion but I mostly stylise my characters suitable for their lore. I like when pieces are well matched and dyed, not when someone is a walking pain for the eyes

31. My favorite dye... Glossy Black? Electro Pink?

32. My personal favorite rn is Aurene Wings Glider

33. Yep, blocked some toxic people

34. A lot of weird map chat experiences, a lot were funny too. Can't recall none atm lmao

35. I have some 100% map comps... at least 7 that I remember, probably more.

36. I guess I am a casual player rn. Doesn't mean I don't do harder content, I just don't like farming nor sitting around with nothing to do so I am not constantly online

37. Tips: 1) pick whatever race and class you like, any class is viable now and you can tey out classes at pvp lobby since level doesn’t matter there 2) join a guild! You can ask question your fellow gw2 players with more experience 3) have fun! Enjoy urself!

38) Best memory... Not sure if best but it was happy and fun times with custom build kiters on Dhuum with old friends. My early RP days were fun too.

39) I am definitelly an altoholic and I try to get diifferent things to do with each character

40) Biggets bothers rn... dawn/dusk fish. I hate short time frames or adjusting ur whole schedule to camp for an event for 5 min that doesn’t guarantee success. Also that Tyria and EoD has different day/night time and I only discovered that recently. That birthday rewards are getting worse and worse.
