Gaiscioch Guild Wars 2 PvP Daytime Player Recruitment




Many of us are eagerly awaiting any more information on WvWvW pvp, not to mention when Guild Wars 2 might actually be released.  The guild Gaiscioch, a casual guild born from the objective based pvp fires of DAOC and Warhammer, also cannot wait to get its hands on Guild Wars 2.


We are starting recruitment early for daytime for Guild Wars 2 players for two reasons:

#1. Having a daytime presence for oRvR in Warhammer helped our night casual players achieve more once they started getting on after work.  But many years have passed since then and a lot of our past day players have turned into more night casual players.  In years passed, college students, military service men and women, and retirees were among our day players and we hope to recruit players in similar circumstances.
#2. For similar reasons as in #1, some of our prominent daytime pvp leaders, such as myself Vampiresbane, have become night pvp leaders and so we also need a few good daytime pvp leaders for us to mentor and help take over the daytime damage and destruction that we all became so accustomed to.

Our European and Oceanic players also want to put out the welcome mat and recruit other similar players.  For an American based guild, Gaiscioch actually has quite a few players from Britain and mainland Europe as well as various Oceanic countries.  One thing to keep in mind is that Arenanet isn't sure if players will be region locked or not on servers so make sure to have a backup plan if possible.  No matter what, we'd love to have you if players aren't region locked.

Our guild's two main claims to fame are encouraging players to play how they like and to host server wide events.  In Warhammer, we hosted "Battle for Badlands," a pvp event in Tiers 2, 3, and 4 meant to provide a fun reliable time for both Order and Destruction to pvp in all levels.  A few of our members or allies also hosted other events. "Redhammer Tavern," a weekly roleplaying event on Mondays, was hosted by Clanorton and a weekly event called PQ Madness was hosted by Ltol, where players would do all the Public quests in the entire game, a few during each time.


Currently, our guild is more involved in RIFT, though a large part of our players base longs for the good ol' pvp days.  Our current main event is "The Telara Saga" in which our guild attacks different zones each event night.  Another member, Aethenrbrior, holds "Warfront Wednesdays" as well. 


To get a better taste of what we'll be up to, watch the following pvp video of one my personal favorite nights as a leader during Season 3 of our old "Battle for Badlands" eventline. 


Next week, I'll critique how I led during this battle using Sun Tzu's rules of War.  Even though our side won, though barely, Sun Tzu would have a few criticisms of my orders and of my strategy.  Also make sure to visit www.gaiscioch.com for current projects, guild structure, and guild events.

In meantime, between now and Guild Wars 2's release, sharpen your swords, practice your fireballs, and shine your armor because Gaiscioch will be eagerly waiting for you.

Whether you be friend or you be foe.
