Note from Tuco on the FoH PVP Guild
Update: We're no longer playing GW2 as a guild. Please read the latest posts in this thread to hook up with people.
It seems that every MMO that comes out this forum creates an upstart 'forum guild' for it that invariably fizzles out in a few months due to a lack of structure and recruitment. The serious players join serious guilds and the bored players move on. This is a travesty because these forums host the words of some of the most experienced and hardcore players in the world. In GW2 I'd like to combine the raw potential this forum has with the most rock steady guild in MMO history.
I've been a member of a guild called PRX for almost a decade. We have along historyof being the dominant guild in every world PVP arena that's come out. We conquered the first keep in DAoC. We built the first city in the world in Shadowbane. We built the first keep and destroyed the first keep in Age of Conan. We were the first to control Altdorf in Warhammer. Now I can proudly say that in the first GW2 weekend event with match-making turned on we held the #1 objective objective (Stonemist Castle) the entire day on the #1 servergroup. We also won that war.
This combination has been wildly successful as we've had over 180 posters from FoH join our ranks, but there's still room for more. Those that have joined us have proven to be valuable assets to PRX and I'd love if everyone here who wants to fight wars stands at my shoulder. However, PRX is not for everyone. If you don't want to be in a professional environment, it's not for you. If you don't enjoy being part of a constant war effort, it's not for you. If you want to talk your shit on forums instead of ingame, PRX is not for you. But if you want to personally fight in the most epic and notable battles in GW2, then PRX is where you want to go.
If this sounds great and you want to really enjoy GW2 and W3 for all its worth, then you'll need to go through our recruitment process. Going through the application process is a little antiquated but it's critical that you get access to our forums to see our plans and it's also useful for us to get to know you. Read ourCode of Conductand if you agree to its termsfollow this processto post an application. Note that you are from FoH and if your desired name in GW2 differs from your forum name, please post it. If I know you I will respond to it vouching for you. If I don't know you I'm unable to vouch for you and your success or failure will determine on the quality of your application, so be specific and verbose in why you are a good fit for PRX.
Also note that people from PRX, including me, are strictly forbidden from engaging in drama shit-talking on public forums like this one. There's going to be some very salty tears from some very sore losers over the next month, but we will only address them on August 25th. Generally the only public posts we make are recruitment posts like this one. If you have any questions about PRX, please PM Tuco.

Kv_sl said:[PRX] will be returning to the NA T1 bracket.
We joined with the Titan alliance in the 3rd beta weekend event and were a part of making Henge of Denravi the first great server, and the world's best, with a streak of 30 straight wins.
When Titan disbanded, we decided to leave Henge and join Sea of Sorrows, the number 10 server. Along with many skilled and determined friends and allies, we were a small part of Sea of Sorrows rise through the ranks, unbeaten, and claim the title of world's best server.
From Sea of Sorrows, we travelled to the European bracket and joined Seafarer's Rest and were, again, a small part of making this medium population server the best in Europe, beating the infamous French, of the full server Vizunah Square, three times in five weeks and twice putting them in third place.
Our six weeks on SFR has been a great experience. We worked hard, had a lot of fun and bled alongside some quality allies. What can be cooler than being led by a commander from Texas while getting a scouting report from a Russian, Mesmer portals from a Scot, a spec-ops team led by a player from Asia while chasing the French and collecting bags from the Germans?
There are many quality groups on SFR. A few notables:
ZDs and the "Russians" - They always fought hard and we were always happy to see you join our maps to save us from the Franco-Germanic hordes.
VoTF - One of GW2's most skilled guilds. When they landed in EB, Stomemist quickly became ours.
OSC - Always out fighting for the server.
VcY - An EB specialist, I believe they have taken SM at reset 10 times in a row and counting.
We have spent a lot of time scouting servers and almost every NA server and bracket was considered at one time. There are so many solid servers and solid guilds in the game that we would be proud to fight alongside. However, at the end of the day, we are a T1 guild and NA T1 is where we belong. Then the question becomes, which T1 NA server? My decision came down to two servers, Jade Quarry and Sea of Sorrows.
Sea of Sorrows is still home to us. We helped build the server and had a small part in it becoming the world's best server. We have friends there and history there and going to SoS would be like going back home again. Comfortable, welcoming and warm. They are the top dogs made even stronger with the large Asian guild "Never Die" joining them.
Jade Quarry has been a tough rival since the game launched and to this day JQ is the server to give us our one and only NA loss. They have been steady in tier 1 but have only finished first once in the past months. Our history of fighting them and their steady score each week with a lack of coverage tells me they have heart.
A lot of analysis and thought has gone into the decision of where to plant our banner, but at the end of the day, I come back to my youth to quote Def Leppard.
"It's better to burn out, than fade away."
Going to SoS, the world's best server, would be comfortable but the easy road. SoS has been winning without us by comfortable margins even before "Never Die" joined them. The challenge is to instead choose to join the battling badgers of Jade Quarry and see if we can help even the playing field in T1.
Finally, let me be clear that this decision has nothing - nothing - to do with a desire to fight SoS for any other reason than they are the champs. I have no ill-will and frankly, if they had lost last week and/or not gotten Never Die, we would be back home on SoS. This decision is based solely on the new challenge of fighting against the best and the new excitment of fighting with those on Jade Quarry. JQ has a long history of being one of the best servers, worldwide, in GW2 and I hope we can be a small part of continuing that tradition.
