Hedonism
1. The doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the highest good.
2. Devotion to pleasure as a way of life.
We are a small guild on the Ferguson’s Crossing server. Our members are respectful, friendly, and helpful. Our focus is to build a supportive, fun community and we welcome players of all levels and abilities who want to build their GW2 home with us.
You may find our guild grows more slowly than most. For us, building a strong community atmosphere within our guild is more important than rushing in and being the first to conquer everything as quickly as possible. Since we try to make sure all of our members are of a similar mindset, our membership process is sometimes slower than most. But in the long run, this ensures a stronger foundation and loyal and longtime following.
FAQ:
Why the name Hedonism? This is just a game to us, not a way of life. Real life has enough stress and mess and the name is a reminder that the purpose of playing a game is to have fun.
Web Site? Yes, http://hedo.guildportal.com
Guild Bank? Yes
Voice Chat? Yes, Ventrilo
Guild Missions? Yes, Bounty Hunter
WvW Commander? Yes, Two. One EU/NA hours and one Oceanic hours.
Time Zone? We are looking for players from ALL time zones, we have people on almost constantly and want to fill out our lighter hours. Highest volume is 9 am to midnight PST; Leader is located Pacific US, GMT -7 . Lighter hours are PST midnight to 7 am so we are hoping to get more for those times (Australia, NZ, Hawaii, Japan, India, Oceanic, etc). We have people on during these times, we just want more to ensure we have enough for groups, etc.
Focus? PvE, Dungeons, Mapping, Achievements, WvW and open to PvP (though currently infrequent)
The following may come off as a bit formal but, the short version is that we are a fun group of mature players who are looking for a helpful, drama free environment. The long version is as follows:
What we are asking of you:
Be courteous and respectful to each other and willing to help when someone asks.
If you sign up for an event with a specific start time, please be focused enough to be prepared and on time, but don’t take yourself so seriously that you can’t laugh when a group wipes.
Know that everyone has room to learn more (even you and me) and deserves to grow in a supportive environment.
Should go without saying but here it is anyway: Respectful language in guild chat and voice chat is a must and extends to grouping with others and map chat while you represent this guild. Your actions reflect on all of us. No hate speech of any kind will be tolerated.
What to expect from the Guild and the Leadership:
The focus of the guild is PvE and WvW but we will make accommodations for those interested in PvP by sponsoring events both for play and for getting achievements.
No one wants to make a mistake, but then again, no one is perfect either; therefore it’s important to recognize that and not treat every mistake or innocent comment like the end of the world.
The rules apply equally to all members. If you feel that there is an issue that requires attention that isn’t being handled properly we encourage you to contact the guild leader personally in whispers or via the Guild website so we can resolve the situation promptly.
Our long term goal is to build a casual but focused community like we outlined above (respectful, helpful, etc.) whether that community is five people or 500 people isn’t as important as the atmosphere of the guild.
We want you to play the game the way you want to. Whether you want to get the most awesome gear you can or if you want to spend every day doing jumping puzzles, no one will ever make you feel bad about it.
Above all, we just want people to have fun.
If you like what you see and want to apply or, if you have any questions, please drop me a message in game (myenchantedlife.3729) or through Guild Portal http://www.hedo.guildportal.com
Thanks for your time!
