Ive been wanting a post like this for ages =P

Hi all,

I just found this today, and am very excited! Having failed the Glint bonus only last night (group seems fine, prior to Glint leader says 'DON'T TOUCH EGGS UNTIL ASKED', movie, someone runs over to eggs, no plan, wipe. Textbook) I am keen to hook up with good, patient players!

I am Melchior Erionis E/x 20 just made it to Droknars. Happy to do anything with anyone fun!

I have also summarised all the responses in this thread (for my use, but good for any Johnny-Come-Latelys like myself!), with one char per post listed below. If people are not on these any more let me know and I will strip them from this post.

I agree that a guild of some of these top people would be brilliant! Is there already a guild with people like this in? If not, I am currently in a tiny (3-5 active) guild that is like this at the moment. It is PVE only, but if you are unguilded feel free to PM me.

That is quite a lot of people. =]

Matthias Rushwood - Ascended W/Mo Lvl 20 currently TRYING to find a GOOD group for Thunderhead Keep mission

Arisu Kaijin - R/E Lvl 20 @ Desert... never got around to ascending her or even running to places like Forge.

Count me in. I have the following characters:

Alayna Lynnrose - Mo/x20 - unlocked 95% of the Mo/W skills and is on the last mission. I'd rather not use her for anything other than skill cap runs and completing the last mission.

Alba Lynnrose - E/Me15 - just finished Gates of Kryta and is ready to roll from there (doing missions, quests, and/or slogging through to map points)

Ryanne Lynnrose - R/N16 - has completed most of the quests in the Lion's Arch area, has completed the missions through the one after D'Alessio, and is also ready to roll from there

Last spot is my PvP spot - I can compose a great healing/protection/smiting monk build and a useful warrior build for PvP if anyone wants to put together a Tombs/arena/etc team sometime.

I love playing in a coordinated, mature group. Send me a whisper in-game or a PM through this site if you want to team up sometime. I'm more than happy to download TS/Vent and use it.

edit to add: I'm also interested in the idea posed above that several of us band together to form a guild (hopefully with both PvE and PvP focus). I currently have a guild that is comprised solely of myself. I formed it so that my poor monk could avoid the "join my 1337 guild" spam whispers she got in every town. If enough people want to band together, I'm willing to lend the guild and its very tasteful cape to the cause. Starting a new guild and going capeless would be just fine, too.

I don't see why anyone joins that IRC channel. It's a lot easier to orginise something with people over IRC in real time rather then waiting on forums for people to reply. There's two people in the channel including me @_@

Mods should sticky this or something, make the #GWPUGs channel GWG's official channel or something. I'd be happy to hand over ownership of the channel to them if it becomes more active.

I'd be happy to help anyone who needs it. Assuming I'm not playing on the PvP circuit.

I wish the friends list was larger, and with details.

Wow, what a great thread!

Count me in for this.

Feel free to pm me anytime, always up for good missions, rp'ing, and anything else!

I'm just about to take the trials for ascension.

Give me a shout, and I'll try to help!

Hey all,

I'm the OP for this thread, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me that it's been bumped, and that people are still using it. I know I do.

One or two people have complained that now the size of this thread (90 responses!) is longer than the friends list and is unwieldy, which is true, but at the moment I can't think of another option. Plus, since most people are not online most of the time (typically I see four or five people from this thread on in a night - last night was particularly barren), and those that are online are frequently involved in missions or whatever, I still only get to party with people from this list occasionally - not as much as I'd like, but oh well. In every instance that I have, however, the people have been a joy to play with.

AzureSpark, thank for the up-to-date summary. A lot of the older posts have gone out of date (I'm no longer 17 and in Maguuma, for example, but at Abaddon and taking my sweet time) and I worry about people forgetting they ever posted to this thread and wondering what the hell I'm talking about when I whisper them, but so far I've only been politely declined or unanswered, never rudely shot down.

Although this was never intended as a recruitment thread, I know my guild has asked several people from this thread to join after a mission or quest (SOP for my guild - no invite until we've partied with someone, and invitations offered to fun, responsible players regardless of whether or not they have a cape - worst that can happen is they say no, right?). Several have declined to join, happy with their guild, which is fine - we remain friends and still party together on occasion. Others have joined our guild, whose charter is basically the tenets I originally posted, and they are EXCELLENT guildmates. I can only assume this is happening elsewhere in the thread as well, which is fine - we'd love to start forming guild alliances with friendly, tolerant (ie, cool) guilds like ours for unrated practice GvG matches.

So don't be shy, go ahead and introduce yourself to others in the thread when you need a hand. I haven't been disappointed once! And THANKS to all you cool people out there for making GW a wonderful experience. Nothing's worse than a troll or an idiot in your team, but nothing's better than a team full of friendly, responsible players.

Add me In COACH!

Thank you for compiling that list Melchior - That makes it so much easier to add all you great folks to my friends list

IGN Crimson of Kin (W/R) Jonas Engstrom (Mo/??) i love helping low levels, chatting strat....long walks on the beach....and gang beating mobs with my big shiny sword. any quest hit me up usually i am free hehe

lvl 20 necro with too much time on his hands. =/

When I saw the threadtitle, I thought I was going to see some flaming on strange players.
But this is the best constructive attempt i've seen in a long time...So what the heck, i'll bite and put my name down.

can start from any place.feel free to pm with the reference 'birds of a feather' ^^.


To continu on Azurespark's work

OP, I sent you a private message.

I, too, think this is an outstanding idea. I'm just a regular guy here, I don't play for thousands of hours, just to relax and with some free time. /age shows that I've averaged little over an hour a day playing. It can be difficult to find good PuGs because of the sheer number of foolish people around.

IGN: Mistress Juliya, a level 20 N/Me, I'm experimenting with different builds and secondaries, I've tried the blood spec N/W, the degen spec N/Me, and am going to give minions a shot once I get refunds back up.

See you guys in game. ^_^

This might work... As it is very tedious typing in names from the list over and over again to find one of us, I thought:
Why don't I just stand there and shout for someone from "Birds of a feather"?
The people who have entered their names here would know then, if they happen to look at chat.

I thought of this, Cedarde, but considering the THOUSANDS of people who play this game and the few dozen of us here on this thread, I suspect you would mainly get the electronic equivalent of people looking at you funny.

It is a bit of a pain to type the names into the friends list, yes. It is also a shame that there is no way of creating a "channel" in game that would allow us to broadcast something like "hey, anyone want to do D'alessio?" to each other - for people to whom this idea appeals, I suggest Sekkira's IRC channel, which (while not in game) does accomplish this.

Otherwise, for the time being, I think the friends list is the best solution the game itself has to offer us. Maybe ANet will come up with a better method in a future update. We can hope.

Great thread! I've just been sent this from a mate of mine in a non-GW forum.

Our guild (Guitarists Adventuring Society - or GAS) are a friendly lot, and some of our most successful PUGs were from meeting up with other people who don't just want to rush through the missions, or quit a party as soon as 1 party member dies. - Funnily enough, we get a better result and have breezed through most of the game with this in mind. (I completed Hells Precipice last night with a few great people and there was much chatting, breathers, strategy discussions, rejoicing and group banter on the way)

So if you see me or any of our guild about, give us a shout :-)

I am willing to join decent, fun, mature groups.

I am currently working on my Mo/Ele lev 20 character: Old Monk Dood. I am in the Ascention trials right now. My Guildmate and good friend would like to play along too. He is working on his Mo/R character. For now we have been mostly playing together with Henches and using TS. We would like to play with real people and we would share our TS server as well.

We have learned you can't beat having two monks that work together in missions/quests. We always talk to each other before hand so we do not double up on same spells.

Call on me in the game....if I do not answer, that only means I am in a big ugly fight. I will get back to you. Just let me know you are from GWGURU and I will know you are a decent person and I would be honored to join up with you.

EDIT: BTW, people have asked me WHY I have my character's named like I do...it is simple....I am easy to remember out in GuildWars World.

Hey, sign me up too. And the small guild I lead, The Akkadians [AkX]. Our guild has been based in the idea of people working together towards strategy and having good fun doing so, along with group banter and all of that. If you need to get a hold of me, just add my primary, Photeus Prime and you should be able to get a hold of me and my guild easily. I'd be happy to help anyone with a good and strategic mission completion.

You can add me to the list too...I don't have any max level chars yet, and my sweet little (OK, she's not that sweet) Ranger seems unable to get past those @#%&* summit beastmasters in Iron Horse Mines, but my Elementalist is great with fire.

IGN: Lilly Durinn (R/Mo14), Cybele Pandion (E/Mo15)

Hi, I am up for helping/getting help from people on here as well, I think this is a great idea, and I'm a big beleiver in "you dont need 5 monks and 3 tanks to win a mission" I refuse to have more than 1 warrior in my group and less than 1 necro and ranger. I'm around the magumaa jungle with my lower character, a healing Mo/W. I've finished the game with my Healing/Fire E/Mo so I can help you with anything.

IGN-White Breeze (14 Mo/W)

Fyren Trath (20 E/Mo)

*points to the IRC channel that was created before this thread was for this exact purpose*

Yay, someone actually listened. Now the rest of you people should jump in there instead of filling up your friend list.

Btw, the credit has to go to Venom for this channel, whereever he is at the moment. I'm just holding ownership until it gets endorsed by this site.

Nice thread. I PvE a lot. Mostly UW and Fissure lately, but I still have several quests to do on my last character, and skills to unlock.

W/Mo 20 Chev of Hardass- this guy has or is getting armor for his every weapon that warrior can use. He's in an intense skill point farming mode, so the system messages tend to blank anything out at times.

N/Ele, N/Mo 20 Chevs Trophy Wench- I feel like I can make a single monk into the power of 1 1/2 or 2 with this character, using blood magic. I like curses, as well so I tend to throw them on too. The Ele is for wards and aftershock for the brave, Mo is for pure energy providing useage, but I will sometimes carry a couple extra healing spells if the team needs it.

R/Mes 20, Colonel Chev- Deleted

Yati Dominachev - Mes/Ele 6 somewhere near Piken Square. I may have unlocked most of the mes skills with the Col., but I am learning the mes profession, so feel free to come school a learner.

Just thought I'd bump this as it's a good idea.

I've got a Dedicated Healer Mo/N20 that would probably be of most use. Can help out pretty much everywhere, just 2 or 3 towns in Southern Shiverpeak undiscovered.

If ya need me, my IGN is Kirsty Kriss.

I agree. Also, can we sticky this thread? Maybe rename it as well so people know what it is about.

Hi guys! IM a good player that loves having fun and discussing strategy to have total victory over mobs, i like role playing too if people are interested in that, and im always willing to help! I have a 20 W/Mo (experienced tank), a 20 E/Me (echo nuker), im working on a mid lvl necro death/blood build for now, and a lvl 17 Me/Mo!

In the same order the names are Yoko Silvermoon, Salrynn Eternia, Salmissra Silvereen, and the mes has a funky name i cant remember right now haha!!

Hey all, i love this idea. I'm a very generous, very personable player and i enjoy grouping with like minded people. I have all 4 rp slots filled and they are as follows.

Evil Mr Happy - Mo/Mes 20 ascended - iron mines of moladune
Evil Lord Boodro - W/Mo 20 ascended - ice caves of sorrow
Evil Mr Legolas - R/W Bloodstone fen
Godly Uber Noob - Ele/N - Nolani academy

I play with each of them almost everyday so feel free to add anyof them and if i'm not busy when you PM me i'll be more than happy to lend what help i can.

IGN: Forboding Angel

Give me a tell sometime, would be happy to help anyone out as long as I'm not uber busy or anything.

I am a noobie (been playing about a week), and you do not know how happy I am to see this thread. Currently, I am playing a R/Me with a IGN of "Rana Esta Bebiendo." Loosely translated, that's "Drinking Frog," and that's a story of its own.

Even though ol' Rana is pushing level 11, I've only gone as far as Fort Ranik. That's mostly because I enjoy quests and because I'm usually hard pressed to find someone I would like to play with. I have one guild member that has been a great help and pleasure to party with, but he's not always on.

For those reasons, I have little to offer anyone else. However, I am looking for casual, relaxed, and strategic play. I have no problem accepting that I no very little about the game, beyond the basics. I don't mind following when I am not the leader, and I would appreciate anyone's help in learning how to play better. In exchange, I am happy to chat, and I do not mind passing on some drops.

I hope no one minds if I give you a shout sometime.


DF

Hey guys, this is a great thread. I have a char in Dragon's Lair currently(r/e), and I just started another char still in pre-searing. If you want some help or company hit me up.

IGN Boss Masumoto, Boss Zetsumei(pre-searing)

Yay, I don't seem to be able to connect to gamesurge >:

Tip Top idea!
Main characters are finished PVE, but am playing around with a E/M, gimme a shout anytime "Alotta Fergina".

Po

I've tried searching for the server and channel name mentioned above, but no luck. Could you provide that information?

*Bump*

Still looking for server and channel name... if it's still up, that is.

I just found this thread and it is as close to what I am looking for as can be found. I have been looking for a "Grey Guild" Older or at least more mature persons that dont take this for anything other than a game.

IGN Mahar Gimlak L20 R/ME
Presantly stuck in Thunderhead Keep....thinking of moving my family there.

Add me to the list it is great to have people to run with.

Ranger Sure Shot: R/MO (infused) currently working on a quick shot build, but can be trapper also.
True ThunderStroke: W/Mo (infused) Almost through fire islands
True Life Giver: Mo/?(Infused) working in the silver peaks
True Thunderstorm : E/Me In pre Searing

like to help anybody who needs it. look foward to hanging with u all play most nights and weekend morings PST look me up

I have a Ranger/Mesmer named Drager Saloc. I'm basically done with the game but don't mind helping those that need it, whether it be on tips and strategy or just needing me to show you around. One of my pet peeves however, is when I help someone and after I am done with the task....they don't let go. Like I said, I will help, however don't abuse and have me do 20 quests with you.
