Nothing wrong with that Frus, theres plenty of guilds that will be "dicking" around as well. Good luck in your ventures, and hopefully we will run into you in-game.

Competitive-mindset does not = no fun btw I can't count the laughs we've had so far.

thx for the response, i mean it sounds awesome! would never have guessed no many europeans would have registered ^^

if the lag is not to bad for me i would like to join for sure! had like 20-40 ms in WoW a few years back so it should be fine i guess?
have no idea how to check tho, just did a quick speedtest to Washington and only had ~130 ms on that, but i have no idea if that makes any diff in-game at the end of the day xD

i guess i'll PM you a app and hope for the best once i can try it?

I've been keeping an eye on this thread/guild for a while now, and I'm a little bit curious about the statement just added to the OP. What limiting factors do you have on guild size that are going to mean you have to close recruitment? Has there been a statement about how max size on in-game guilds or what? I'd love to play with you guys on release (or even in the beta if I can get in), but I don't wanna join and then be inactive for the next 10 months while we wait for the game to come out....

Like said, we wouldn't mind recruiting every single decent person that applies. Lately however, especially with the more experience ex-competive mmo players, the topic has come up more and more lately that the in-game cap might be 100, like in GW1. I would jump for joy if they announced tommorrow that the guild cap is 200 like wow, but we have to prepare for the lesser circumstance.

The guild roster thus far is about 30% casual 70% hardcore/competitive nearing 80 members. These are all teamliquid posters that have been joining since this was started 8 months ago, so its not like others didn't have the chance. From the getgo we didn't have any application at all, allowing diehard fans the chance to join without question. Now that were more established, were aiming to fulfill the competitive side of the guild with topnotch players, which we've been (thankfully) doing without issue. We've obtained a lot of talent from all areas of gaming, especially top GW1 players, which I feel is among the biggest assets we have.

On an average day most all members will be mixed in with the same activites, with the goal of character improvement, what changes however, is at set afternoons/nights when the competitive groups get together for practice/skirmishes in arena and world pvp. That's what were aiming to organize this very moment in fact, as any member can tell you. Its a very delicate balance of recognizing talent, and distributing skill. We can only create the infrastructure at the moment obviously, a lot of the work still remains once we get our bearings in the game, but the experience being brought to the table by the members is invaluable.

I wish I could word it more elegantly, my apologies. Those in the guild, ex-competitive or casual alike, all have the idea. In essence at the base were attempting to create a creative atmosphere to develop new builds and strategies, on another end we have a large growing group dedicated to taking the other experienced members in the guild and giving 110% to representing our guild and teamliquid. Its always a fine balance as you can imagine, but so far its been working fine without issue.

Sorry for the wall of text, and grammar. I hope this answers at least a few of your questions, and perhaps some others.

Thanks for the quick response.

I guess I was confused by your seemingly absolute wording in the OP. From that I inferred that you had some concrete information. If there is a limit of 100 I don't want to take the spot of someone who is going to be producing for the guild between now and release. If in-game cap is higher (or even unlimited) you will be allowing more people in, right? I'm confident enough that the cap will be higher though that I don't mind taking my chances and waiting.
