About our Guild - General Guild Information - Recruitment Policy

Server: Underworld
Location: Europe
Style: PvE / WvW
Requirements: Click

We are a Guild Wars 2 Gaming Guild, founded on May the 18th of 2012 by Judit and Ron (Veni and Hardist). We are a friendly, social, mature, helpful and active guild, currently 50 members strong. If you wish to know more about us, then you can find all information you need in this post.

What is the "Touch of Darkness" exactly?
We are a Guild Wars 2 Guild, consisting of around 50 members at this time. Since nobody can play everyday, we have around 10 - 15 members online during the evenings (19:00 CET - 22:00 CET). We do not like overkill, so having more than 20 people online during the evenings is a bit too much for us, but we are still looking to expand our guild to at least 75 members.

We play mostly PvE, Dungeons, and World vs World together. We level together, group up to go through some dungeons and simply join a zerg in WvW or have some fun of our own. This is what we are playing mostly. sPvP is not something we are currently active in, but anything is possible, and if you wish to set up your own sPvP Team within our guild, that is no issue at all, since there are people interested in it, but nobody is currently interested in leading or forming a team in it.

What can The Touch of Darkness offer you?
As with most guilds, we promise a lot of things. But unlike other guilds, we keep those promises. We are friendly, mature, active, social, helpful and above all, respectful to each and every of our members. Also, we do not recruit the character, we recruit the player behind the character. I also know this is a much heard phrase, but we actually do care about all our members. After we recruit you, we have a private chat with you, explaining what we're all about, telling you what we expect from our members and we will check if we all have the same mindset and goals. We always keep in touch with you, we will never make you feel lonely or bored in our guild. And guaranteed, our guild is drama free.

What are we looking for?
We are looking for like minded players to form a "family-like" guild. We want everyone to know everyone, so we expect our people to mingle in the guild chat every now and then, and interact with others, in-game and outside of the game, on our forums. We feel a game is much more enjoyable when you are playing together with friends, so in this guild, you truly are not a number, but we do care. Our motto is: Quality, not quantity.

Anything else?
I have explained the basics which there are to know about our guild. If you wish to know more, then I suggest you visit our website or click on any of the links posted at the top for some more information. If you want to have a chat with us, in-game or on teamspeak, please contact me and we can set it up. You can also always send me an e-mail at:

Hey Hardist! Welcome to the forums. If I were you, I'd add to the OP in the title the focus of your guild (PVP, PVe, RP, WvW or whatever) and the time zone you're generally active in (US, Europe, or whatever). Best of luck recruiting.

[Hardist]

Thanks! But we're open to anything, European based or American based players, it doesn't matter. And we're not focussing on PvP or PVe only, we focus on doing everything, so that's why I chose not to post anything like that in the OP.

Think of it this way. You're setting your guild on a site, big wall of text (which I read all the way through) and you're competing with dozens of other guilds who, at a glance, have this info up front. You'll lose many potential members by not having the info up front. The way to do this it to put (PVx) in front of your guild name, which gives people the information that it's a bit of everything and then putting (International) after your guild name, which means people don't have to try to figure out where you are, or if you'll accept them. Trust me, it'll help people find you.

[Hardist]

Thanks for the heads up, didn't think of it that way yet. I've edited the OP now, thanks again

Hi Hardist, I'd also like to welcome you and Touch of Darkness to this site, and I wish you good luck recruiting.

I agree with Vayne, though... a lot of people search on game type or on their own location, and having the suggested info in the OP and in the title helps them to find you faster (even if it is as generic as [PvX] [International])

[Hardist]

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. And yeah I edited it, I didn't think of that so, thanks to you both for the advise.

[Hardist]

I will have to add the following, we're based in Europe, but we're open to anyone who would like to play on other servers from different timezones too. But I still advise people from for example the US, to join a US based guild, for the obvious reasons. But don't forget, anything is possible in this guild

[Hardist]

I will have to bump this topic, since a lot has been changed (improved) on our site/forums. Take a look for it yourself:

We have also added some "Guild Guidelines", these are just common knowledge for everyone, and some "Tips & Advice" what to do if.. That kind of stuff. To get a idea what we're all about, read it here:
