Gothiscandza is recruiting

[SMRommel]

First, it's one word, Germanic for the legendary place of origin of the historic Goths. Why that name? Because it's different, and it's related to a novel I'm writing, but I digress. My housemate and I are 30-something professionals who have also been D&D players for quite some time. We had this idea a few games ago about recruiting groups of people who know each other in real life, or couples, such that no matter how large our guild grows, everyone in it knows at least one other member in person. We thought it would be a great way to keep the friendly atmosphere no matter how large we got, and we were right. What surprised us was the number of real-life-friend groups out there, which enabled us to grow relatively strong from a powergamer standpoint as well, giving us the best of both worlds. Due to circumstances unforseen we were kept from DDO for a while but now the Goths are back. Our core is not huge, as not all of our friends from other games are playing at this time, but we aim to change that now. We have a handful of members in North America, Europe, and Asia, and as we continue to grow we expect a decent number online at any given time. If you're looking for the kind of close kinship that our unique philosophy has to offer, along with the potential to enjoy end game content within a reasonable time frame, give us a try. There are no requirements other than having a friend you know outside of the game who will join with you (you are essentially each other's character witnesses). Please contact me, Mathild (or Anagyth), in game or on this forum if this concept intrigues you. If I'm not online send a tell to Zaragevna, Kallysta, or Surkin and they'll happily answer any questions and/or invite you and your friend/spouse/companion to join our fold. Thanks for checking us out,

Hello all,

We Goths have kept to our original recruiting policy, bringing in groups of real life friends, and as expected we're growing modestly but steadily. We're presently a level 26 guild. Our primary base has shifted somewhat from European toward American, with Asian coming in third and needing a definite boost. We're active most evenings from a North American perspective, with a core group flagging for and/or running high end raids with a few other guilds with whom we frequently collaborate. We have mid and lower level players as well who could use some consistent reinforcements, so please take notice if you qualify and wish to take part in a truly unique guild experience. I play two characters, Mathild and Anagyth, so please contact me in game if you don't get a prompt response here. Officers Surkin or Kallysta are available most days too. Thanks for taking the time to consider us !

I joined this guild 2 weeks ago and it has really changed the game for me!
I was in a static group with my brother and some RL friends - problem was I wanted to play more, do raids, get great loot, and learn the game more than my static group allowed.
With Gothiscandza I can do all of these things without feeling "pressured" to keep up or worrying about making mistakes.
I recommend this guild for anyone who is on with a group of RL friends but sometimes wants a little more. My guildies are casual, knowledgeable, skilled, mature and fun - and we run with some great folks from other guilds - at all levels.
Contact Mathild, Anagyth, Fairish, Kallysta, Surkin, Felojin or Zaragevna in game or reply tho this thread if you are interested.

Greetings Cannith adventurers,

Gothiscandza is now a level 34 guild. We have enough level 20 characters that we regularly smack down Sor'jek, plow through raids like ADQ shorthanded, and knock out an epic here and there as well. We host VoD and HoX raids every Sunday around 3 pm server time, Shroud raids twice weekly, and have recently added a second semi-official raid night at around 6 pm server time Wednesday. Our next goal is to add a weekly ToD run to the mix. And we are still looking for a few more people to help pave the way.

Again, our claim to fame is that every Goth knows at least one other member in real life, but that doesn't mean you need to know one of us in real life to join ! You, and a friend, spouse, sibling - or even a long time gaming friend - should give one of our officers a shout. No other condition or trial is necessary, but if you want to see for yourselves what our unique guild has to offer in terms of atmosphere and effectiveness, feel free to arrange with me to join one of our raids, or group with us, before making a decision. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you here or in game.

Recently joined and extremely happy with the people thus far.
Thank you all who have welcomed me in. Great group of people who have respect for each other and fellow gamers.
I am very excited to have the rest of my old guild follow me on this new adventure.
