I would also like to sign up for a few reasons. My husband and I have been avid gamers for 11 years (myself = 20+, him=11) I have had the honor to beta test many of the best MMORPG's we have seen (Ultima Online, EQ, EQ2, WOW, Guild Wars) and have always enjoyed the fact that I can play with other people, but have always found it a bit difficult to relate with them. Mainly due to the many reasons that you all have stated before me, but also because there really is a new generation of reward obsessed gamers with extremely vocal, princess attitudes.
So... I am looking for a guild that understands why they are banding together in GW2. I am a huge fan of Guild Wars and completed all 4 campaigns, acheived some nice titles and dominated PVP, GVG, Cathedral, Underworld, AB, and unlocked everything through the RP server first, before turning to the PVP side. I really enjoy ANET's perspective and storytelling. I am so excited to see the 2.0 version of their storytelling and gameplay! It sounds like there are quite a few "like-minded" gamers with similar lifestyles to my own, and I and my husband would like to sign up.
I am concerned about names within GW2 as well, and there are many facets to GW2 that will need to be addressed to achieve the goals set forth by the OP of this thread, but I'm sure with all of our experience pooled together we can create an optimum environment for us all. We will be both be in the beta as we bought the digital collectors editions and we do plan to play as often as possible and would love to group and adventure with you. Please contact me at neoleo6903@comcast.net if this gets started!
Name Ideas:
Pale Tree Sylvari Defenders (PTSD) - Please be mindful that in the GW universe, your guild is most known by its initials.
Hive Mind (BUZZ) - If you know anything about bees, that knowledge leads guilds well, within the GW universe.
Armies of Ancient Ascalon - (AOA) - (Ascalon is Ancient now) Knowledge of the first story could probably take us far into GW2.
If you have room for a noob; I would like to join as well. I've always been a console guy but finally built me a gaming cpu and am looking for a good game to get in to. I catch on to things pretty quickly though. I will try not to ask too many stupid questions. Planning on getting this game and world of darkness whenever it's going to release. Probably won't be on a beta weekend anytime soon considering that I'm still currently deployed overseas. Will be back around May time frame though. I'm 27, married, and have a daughter. Will be finishing up my degree in IT when I get back.
We love our soilders! you are more then welcome a place in my guild i would love to answer any questions you may have in game or other wise. i do not mind at all so please do not hesitate!

I love your approach to the games. Nice to see that you aren't here for a gear grind as much as you are for the ride I would love for you and your husband to be a part of this guild. I am open to any ideas and suggestions you have and look forward to playing with you both. By your last line im guessing you will play a thief?
Also I am sure you all know but for those of you that missed this:
BETA EVENT APRIL 27th Noon (GMT-7) to APRIL 29th 11:59PM (GMT-7) !!!
I have already asked to leave work early that friday see you all there!
ps: Fallen is the name until further notice. But i have a few ideas up my sleeves ! Yes thats right BOTH sleeves!
That sounds great, do we wanna make a list on like one of the originial thread posts back on like page 1 of all the people from here at least that are currently interested? I would be down to do it and amend one of my early threads, I might even have a vent or mumble server that we could use for this upcoming beta weekend. If Ahmedzakaria doesn't want to do it I will gladly if people want to send me an in game PM I will add it to the list. I am sure a list of people on here interested in joining would add a nice bit of legitimacy to this thread and the crew/group of people.

Sure I think making a list of the people currently interested would be a good idea, right? Easier to keep track and you can have an overview at the number etc. And later on it'll be easier to contact people too.
As far as I know we're currently trying to set stuff up, like the site for example. I believe once that is done it will be much easier to keep in touch and get to know eachother better. I can't wait for the BWE to start!
Figured I would post this at the end also. I think this is pretty well up to date, if anyone wants to get added to one list, or moved from one list to another please let me know.

Evereghalo/Jaren w/ Approx 4-5 friends possibly more.
I fall into the work 40+ hours a week category. Use to be a full time raider in WoW until real-life responsibilities took hold. Since I can no longer commit to hardcore PvE like I use to, Guild Wars 2 and its easily accessible gameplay is just what I have been looking for.
Tag me 'interested'. I'll be on Friday after 5. I'm M-F 7-4 of so. Come on beta client. Is thers a planned meet-up area or are we just gonna explore and meet up with mates along the way? Sounds fun either way. Can't wait.
Hey im graduating HS in may and will be in college in august so this interests me! I would be interested to join. It depends on my friends' plans for guilds because we play with gaming community often. So it depends if they set a guild up or not. But I love "Shinigami" ! BLEACH FTW!! lol i am also gonna suggest "Grim Guard" [GG]!
O and tag me "interested"! Ill be on beta friday hopefully about 7 MST if i have it downloaded in time, im out of country now and wont be back til friday so it depends if i can get my neighbor to download it for me lo! I wont be active too much on this weekend unfortunately because i have prom! My IGN will probably be BloodyCrisis!
I am sure AhmedZakaria will post when he gets a chance. I will say this now if he does not have a vent or Mumble that can support everyone for friday I will get one set up by Friday.
I do not know if there is a server list yet, but for beta it probably does not matter.
I will also see if we have a possible guild website that can be set up soon, but no rush just yet. Best I can think of is that everyone should hold tight and check back by thursday night or friday morning and if there is nothing set up yet I will do my best to set it up myself.
But I will have a voip ready by Friday, which will be either Ventrillo or Mumble.
We're about to set up a guild site, however Ahmed seems to be VERY (beyond) busy lately. Am never able to catch him or anything. I've already designed and entire site for the guild and am trying to code it right now etc. lol... see? I AM utterly diligent and impatient :P
PERSONALLY I prefer Teamspeak over any other voice programs except Skype, but that's just me. I'll probably be talking with my girlfriend anyway.. not sure. But I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and have a great time together..
I really hope Ahmed manages to toss us an update before the BWE, if not we're gonna handle things, right Evereghalo?
Yes, I can. It wont be anything formal because it does not have to be.
I am sure we can chill, socialize, and see what everyone is looking for.
My goal in part would be to also find a server with very serious WvW guilds because no matter what anyone can PvE and do premade structured pvp with anyone in game so WvW seems to be where it is at in terms of server importance.
Evereghalo.
XDrac - When you get that website up for fallen, then definently worth putting up a post as PvX on the GW2guru too.
If u do use the guild name Fallen, u will "fall" susceptible to meme picture jokes etc. I personally dont care what the guild name is. but its just something to consider in hindsight what other ppl might do to us etc
Btw there is now an official mmorpg guild for gw2, so wouldnt that also cater to full-time students and workers ? wouldnt most ppl just join the more established guild since both cater to the same target demographic of ppl?
Should we all just transfer over? but i personally need more info in how the official mmorpg guild works etc
hey so i was google searching for the guild website. because i didnt feel like browsing through 7 pages of forum lol. and i saw that there is another planned "Fallen" guild for GW2. so i think i might be wise to think of a backup guild name just incase we cant get the name "Fallen."
also i just looked again and there are several guild planning on the name "Fallen" for GW2, some even planning on the slogan "Fallen will rise." So i really think we should think of alternatives just in case. because we dont exactly know how the guild naming system is gonna work in GW2.
I am sure AhmedZakaria will post when he gets a chance. I will say this now if he does not have a vent or Mumble that can support everyone for friday I will get one set up by Friday.

Evereghalo/Jaren
I will have a permanent ventrilo up pre-launch. For the weekends beta event purposes, I welcome the opportunity to let our guild mates use your voice chat Evereghalo. I think I can speak for all of us when I say it is greatly appreciated as well. I would also like to thank you for putting together that list. Looks like we got a solid 20+ with people who are in and people who are interested. This is a very good number of older and for the most part experienced MMO players.
I apologize if you guys don't see me posting, I am always checking back, however we are in the process of setting up a new accounting system at my work. If any of you have been there, you can sympathize. It is a long and tedious process. However I have taken off work friday and plan on playing beta all weekend long.
As far as grouping, I will just be looking to see who contacts me in game to start building a repor'. Getting on the voice chat is optional and always will be until we start getting into some events and/or fights where our success depends upon our communication in voice chat.
I have also noticed that people will be using the guild name fallen, so I have been holding off and buying a domain for the website. It would be quite silly to have a website "fallen.com" or something of the sort if that was not out name. As Xdrac sits patiently, I know it's killing him to have the site up and running. Just hang in there for us bud, the wait will be worth it once we settle on a name!
And as far as the name goes, I think having a good acronym will be great for building recognition. I think as we play beta and interact, we will move closer to a name that will be good for everyone. However, I do not want everyone to dwell on the name too much. I am more focused on getting more like-minded and like-scheduled individuals in here.
For the idea to join the "MMORPG" guild....I have seen my fair share of trolls in here. I would rather go into a guild with people I have reached out to prior. But that's just me
Please keep throwing out name ideas im loving them! Here's my next idea:
PS: Stay tuned people! I will post in here periodically in the hours leading up to beta launch. If ever could post his team chat information up, we can communicate as to which server we will be on. I will also post that information in here for those of you that can not or prefer not to be in the live chat.
Cool, I still might buy a mumble server myself but I'll hold off on that and we can all use yours this weekend. Yea holding off on the name is fine, I would like to have one for recruitment purposes. However that isn't a big deal, I'm still gonna focus on connecting with other guilds to keep an eye out for a great server for those interested in WvW.
If you need help with anything in particular man, let me and xdrac know.

I apologize if I confused, but to clarify, the guild ventrilo server will be up at some point prior to ACTUAL launch. For this weekend, if your voice chat is available, that would be the best way for people to get on.

Okay I give up.. I suck at thinking of names but feel free to vote or comment on something xD
