I would also like to touch base on this XoO talk. They are a good group, they've rolled us through quite a few times. And funny enough, we always end up fighting them whether it be in Tombs or GvG. Guild bashing isn't nice. Fun and minigames people.

I skipped a lot of the preceeding posts so this is mostly to the first poster.

If most guilds are anything like my guild has been, we have a lot of booms and recessions. In one month TLH has had anywhere from 30 active, online members to 10. Guild Wars is a fast paced game in almost all aspects, especially when compaired with most MMORPG's. People come and go quickly, and since active members are in such high demand, guild hopping occures.

So while on the outside of all that I can understand your frustration in finding such guilds as what you're stated as looking for, but as for myself, being the guild leading and dealing with the heat that goes on with everything, it's simply a matter of hiting a guild on one of its peaks.

One other aspect of Guild Wars that is difficult, is finding leaders who will lead your "3 groups" at one time. Many guilds will have 50 members online, and not be doing anything organized together, simply because of the lack of leadership.

So, now as far as any advice I would give, it would be this. Find a guild that has established leadership, that has good organizing skills. Stick it out for a couple weeks and don't get discouraged too quickly with some times where it seems like the guild is dead, because if your leadership is good, it wont last.

Anyway, that's the best advice I can give ya.

Hither = here.
I was under the impression that Wherefore art thou meant where are you, as in the passage where Juliet says "Wherefore art thou Romeo..."

They have tests for only player skill but whether the personality fits in. Most of them wouldn't want excessive amount of members (some of the korean guilds being the exception, although I have no idea how theyran their guilds) IMO a large guild is just too hard coordinate for a 8 v 8 battle considering the large variances in player skill, teamwork etc unless a set group just practices with each other.
exactly my outlook with my guild.
i recruit, by all means, very slowly, because im picky about who i let in, and i will not let my guild exceed 25 people. i want it to be like a family environment, where everyone knows everyone; knows thier strenghts, thier weaknesses, and can rely on them for support in the game.
the only problem with a small guild such as mine is that people have a tendancy to get tired of the game&quit, faster than you recruit; lest you sacrifice quality for quantitiy (and i never have, and never will advertise our recruitment; and any officer who spams recruit ads is automatically demoted).

Personally i think smaller is better, come from playing daoc where its 8 man groups too
the theoretical ideal pvp guild in my view is 8 members, who always play, and always play at the same time, too many people in guild just dilutes things
in practice around 10-12 seems best, so theres enough people on to gvg or tombs every night
EW pretty much only gvgs now, and it is muchos fun, been playing smurf (WIMP) for a while, but back to gvg with EW now

heh. Wherefore art thou Romeo is misleading. I know its off subject but Juliet asks why is Romeo a Capulet, a family foe.(if i remember correctly) She does not ask Where is romeo.
