Hiya... I've been looking around the site for an Australian Guild to join, yet it seems they are all quite small, and many aren't that interested in GvG either.
It's their preference, but I'm a little dissappointed that so many people want a guild for "their identity", and thus there's a lot of little "friend's guilds" floating around. I would have preferred if most of the Australian guilds merged to form a largish guild of 60+ australian members or so... and planning to compete in the top 1000 or something... (if such a guild exists, please pm me!). It seems like most of the guilds I've joined generally have like 3-4 people on at any one night, of a wide level range so we can't play together.... it'd be nice if they had enough members to have at least a couple of full groups on during australian evening times most days, so I'd have a good chance of doing something with guildmates most of the time. Ah well. Maybe I need to work harder to entice my friends away from WoW...
Do Australian Guilds kinda suck?

I agree.
I ended up forming a 'little friends guild' as you put it when i couldn't find a large dedicated aussie guild.
I'd be willing to join one (and bring my current members too) if you find one!

This may change over time. You have to realise that Guild Wars isn't as widely available over here in Australia as other countries (i.e. you either buy it from EB as an "exclusive" or you order it online) limiting the number of players. As you mentioned, WoW on the other hand has a much bigger following over here in Australia, and it'd be quite hard to vie them away from it. Especially if those gamers are MMORPG-purists (since GW isn't a "pure" MMORPG per se).
Personally, I like the idea of small guilds of friends - I've still yet to get any members (lol) but one day, I'd like to have a guild that is more of a community to have fun foremost with competition against other guilds coming secondary. However, my opinion might change, since I'm still playing through PvE.
A big elite PvP Australian guild would be nice and isn't unreasonable. However, if there was one, I wouldn't be interested. I prefer to lead guilds/clans rather than follow someone else.

Did you ever consider forming an Australian group within an existing American/European guild? I'd love to have 60+ Australians/New Zealanders in my guild 
Think of the possibilities ...
An Auzzie, a Canuk, and a Cowboy (Texan's rock, I have to say!) walk into a bar ...
I'm aiming for, one day, a massive group of people from every area of the earth. Some Australians would be MUCH welcomed. Contact me for details, as I have plenty to give!
May you see the light, and stay away from the darkness (!@#$ WoW!),

Yeah, currently I'm in a multi-country guild, however Australians are spread too thinly to have many people to party with during australian evening hours.
As for the poster who preferred to lead his own guild, well, that's fine, but everyone wants to be leader and no-one member, which is why we have so many little "me too!" guilds
Then again - if I could find 10 or so friends who played at -exactly the same times- as me, then I wouldn't need a big guild either

You should see the hours some people pull in gaming, it's easy to match up with anyone!

And if they aren't, well, any decent guild would kick them anyway :P

I have to agree with the fact that it's not easily available over here yet. I'm in a tiny guild that more of my friends will be joining once they get the game (once our city stops being sold out!) but until then it's kinda hard to find anyone else.

. Alternatively, there are online stores that sell Guild Wars as well (http://www.gamewarehouse.com.au is one of them), although considering GW is selling at 20% off at EB atm (i.e. AUD$72), it's probably best they get it from there .

I've found this whole 'eb exclusive' thing is a lie perpetuated by eb to stop people from looking elsewhere.
I got my copy from Games Wizards on release day, as did my friend on the other side of the state. They still have stock, too, because everyone thinks it's an EB exclusive.

lol. Yeah was wondering if what they were saying was true or not. Sounded a bit dodgy . We don't have Game Wizards here in WA (at least I've never heard of it) - so our only real option is EB or the main department stores (e.g. Harvey Norman, Myer Megamart, Target, K-Mart, etc.).
That's if we're not buying online.

Sarah Mengorran
Well, for what it's worth, My guild is an aussie guild. Currently we have 5 members, we're all intelligent, thoughtful gamers.
Send me a message in game if you're interested.
If the mods deem this as spamming, feel free to delete

How about all the pplz that are from Australia that posted on here all join up and form one guild.
That could be a start of something.
But I agree that we don't really have any Australian guilds that are even large enough to compete in PVP and GVG.

Meh, I joined a Guild that makes me feel happy and welcome. I like the idea of a massive Australian Guild, that sounds pretty cool though. The Guild I am with now is everything I could ask for.
I'd like to see for once " 'Aussie Guild' has won the battle in the hall of heroes and keeps the favour of the gods for Australia", that'd be nice one day.
Considering how big of a country we are, it's a shame to not see our name spread around a little more in these online games. I would like a server for australia. THat would hae been nice. meh, oh well. I'll have to stick with the american servers, i guess if it wasn't for that, I would never have met the awesome bunch that I am with now for my guild...

- we've only got 1/10 the population that the US has... although apparently we have the highest number of people to computers ratio in the world (i.e. a lot of people have access to a computer here)

Oh defnitely. I was in the Netherlands at one stage and basically EVERYWHERE has access to cable and DSL (AFAIK) - and it was pretty damn rare to see anyone on 56k (actually the lowest connection speed I ever saw was 64k). Whereas here in Perth for example, there are still some suburbs which haven't even had the infrastructure set up for ADSL

Lady Hellion
Hi, i'm up for a guild merge. I have a small 'friend's guild' only consisting of 3 members including myself. I'm the leader, R/E20 and looking to merge with a large Australian guild, who are intereseted in becoming one of hte largest Australian guilds to compete in PvP and GvG. If you're also interested in the same purpose, maybe all the leaders of the small 'friend guilds' can combine ourselfs into one larger guild. Feel free to PM me my name is Lady Hellion. Hope to hear from you all soon.
I would much prefer we (the leaders of the small clans) add each other to friends list and/or join an IRC chat where we could plan out the single large guild before we create it. That way we could organise cape colors and styles, guild halls, rankings etc.
BTW: all 3 members of my guild are Australian.

The Australian Vengeance Alliance is currently recruiting to expand our guildwars membership. AvA is a championship withing aussie team that was formed in 1999 and has over 200 active members (at the time of writing this post) across several games.
More importantly, AvA is a group of mates moreso than just a guild. We have offline activities such as a the annual AvA Superlan (a 3 day lan in melbourne which members fly across the country for).
Should anyone be interested in joining AvA, they can PM me on the AvA forums.
