*** The Royal Guard *** Website: http://theroyalguardclan.enjin.com/home VOIP: Mumble Members: 10 members Currently (Quality > Quantity) Recruitment: Open for all Professions Who: - We are an Open World PvP oriented and focused clan. We seek to be one of the major guilds on our server, claiming major keeps, forts and bases. TRG will be extremely active in promoting our server to the top of the charts, with 3x weekly "Fight Nights". As of yet, we are not exceedingly numerous but we're looking to grow with dedicated and talented members. Our recruitment is thorough and pinpointed, but we are NOT elitists, jerks or a-holes (please don't apply if you are). What: Our goal in Guild Wars 2 is simple: to be THE guild our server thinks of when it comes to OWPvP. We are looking to accomplish this in a number of ways: - 'Fight Nights': akin to other guilds' 'raid nights', we will be sponsoring nights wherein which everyone in the guild is going to be in The Mists fighting to bring our server glory. - Role Based Teams: During Fight Nights, we'll be organizing the guild into teams based on necessities and various member's interests. Are you more of an offensive pvp'er or do you have a more supportive playstyle? We'll be setting up role specific teams based on what role you'd like to play. - Invasions: Depending on our server's performance and member's interests, we'll be sponsoring coordinated invasions of other servers' maps and taking the fight to THEM! - We will also be selecting our BEST pvp'ers to rep TRG for competitive ranked instanced pvp! With all this being said - the *only* time we will require engagement of pvp is during our Fight Nights, otherwise feel free to take part in any of the other various forms of content that GW2 has to offer! When: We are an EST guild and our standard 'Fight Nights' are Sunday, Wednesday and Thurs from 8:30pm-11pm. These are subject to change based on member feedback. We are currently playing GW1 on THURSDAY nights at 8pm, working towards HoM unlocks. This is so we can build commication, teamwork and community before the GW2 releases! Feel free to join us! Why: Why should you consider joining TRG? Foremost, TRG is going to be a guild that relies on strategy, superior play and the quality of our members rather than seeking to be another "zerg" guild. We are a clan that is built on the values of hard work, teamwork, communication, strategy and just pure skill. We are a clan that seeks to build a community with its members and go on to make an impact on any game that we enter. We put our money where our mouth is. We have a website and forums, VOIP, dedicated and active leadership, weekly interim game (GW1) and maybe most important of all: a vision. We have a vision where The Royal Guard is going and a roadmap on how to get there. We are looking to be a fun, competitive, community oriented World PvP focused clan that caters to all types of playerstyles. Also, as we are a clan - if you are accepted and come to enjoy your fellow members and TRG as a whole, we invite you to stay with us and maintain your bonds as we expand into other games in the future. How: Feel free to apply through our website and our own forums: http://theroyalguardclan.enjin.com/home - The High Council and TRG members will review your application and we will ask any necessary questions on an app-by-app basis. - If we feel like you could potentially be a good fit with us, we will invite you to a mumble (VOIP) interview to just get a better feel. Quick Facts: * Highly competitive Open World PvP oriented * Fight Nights: World PvP guild nights 3x a week * Competitive instanced PvP * Open recruitment for all professions * Community oriented, recruiting all player types, non-elitist * Currently playing GW1 as an Interim game working on communication and teamwork * Min. age is 16
Just an update: we finished our guild play through of the Factions campaign for GW1 this weekend and are moving on to the Eye of the North Campaign. We intend to have all the campaigns done before GW2 release in order to have the HoM benefits.
Update: We've been seeing some fairly rapid growth but we're still open to more. We've just increased our VOIP server to accommodate our increase in numbers and to make sure we continue to have room for new members. We're still doing our guild playthrough of Guild Wars and finished Eye of the North last night. We'll be continuing to work on reaching 30/50 HoM (we have twice a week 'Game Nights' for this); we're also ready for the start of GW2 beta. If you're interested in finding a home for GW2 or beyond, consider TRG. We have a plan and we will be having 3x weekly WvW events once release comes, at a minimum.
With an extensive background in PvP and great organization, this is the guild for you if you are a serious PvPer. This guild truly is about quality over quantity, and that is evident as soon as you spend some time with the members. If you are serious about PvP and want to be part of a mature community of like-minded players, please feel free to stop by and submit an application. See you on the battlefield.
Had a FANTASTIC weekend during the BWE! TRG had an *awesome* time playing together and learning the basics and specifics of WvW. We're already starting up strategies and planning new tactics for the next BWE. Our server Maguuma (Green) DOMINATED the entire weekend! We didn't lose at all during the 3 server switches. As an update, we're currently at around 23 members but the Beta Weekend also taught us that we're going to require a greater number of dedicated members in order to achieve our goals! If you'd like to see some footage of TRG in Action, take a look at our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/theroyalguardclan or our TwitchTV recordings: http://www.twitch.tv/the_royal_guard If you're looking for a clan that is serious about PvP, GW2 and forming a COMMUNITY amongst its members - TRG is certainly worth looking into!
The guild has experienced some nice growth over the past week, and we are looking to continue recruiting experienced, mature players who want to make a name for themselves in GW2. We are still accepting applications on our website. Please feel free to stop by and submit an application if you believe you have what it takes to be a part of a dedicated, elite (but not elitist) GW2 Guild gearing up to take WvW by storm.
Check out our YT page where we've just uploaded some new vids of our time in WvW! http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRoyalGuardClan
Hey everyone, Just wanted to update that we are growing at a great pace: we're currently at a little over 30 members. What's even better is that our guild still remains close knit, friendly, team oriented and very active. We've put together a WvWvW alliance with Armored FIST and Opposition which we've named Incursion and are currently looking for other guilds to bring onboard. All 3 of our guilds are dedicated to the WvWvW scene and are planning to dominate it when the game hits release. If you're looking for a guild that has ideas of where it wants to head and a plan on how it's going to get there: look no further than TRG.
Hello All! With the release date announced we're gearing up here at TRG to get ready to be a dedicated leader and contributor to WvW on our server! Here's an update: We've been growing substantially and have actually reached 40 members, which was a goal for us pre-release. Far cry from the 23 we were at almost 2 months ago With these added forces we've been increasing our squad and potential attack capabilities and tactics. We've been organizing our alliance and working hard to improve where we need it. We;ve already figured out several initiatives to better coordinate and communicate; between ourselves and the server. Expect to see TRG rallying the server and providing experienced leadership in order to bring our server glory. We also have content in the works coming out soon, so keep an eye on our YT channel. Are you looking for a serious, active, dedicated WvW guild? What about one that also focuses on community and friendship? Just getting to release we have 2 weekly Game Nights encouraging our members off of the forums and onto our Mumble to play together, communicate, have fun and build bonds of friendship.

Check out our New Video & Article! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr6jDpyipS0 World vs. World. The epitome of World PvP brought to us in 3 geographically similar and 1 distinct map. The battles that take place are going to be hard won, epic and strategically and tactically astounding. There are so many facets to consider - with one of the most important and often overlooked of them being how the NPC Mercenary camps that reside in the Eternal Battlegrounds are going to come into play and help respective servers attain victory. Today The Royal Guard is going to walk you through the Mercenary camps, how to win their allegiance and how to properly utilize them afterwards. Mercenary Camps are important for a number of reasons: 1. They become a force multiplier; greatly increasing the effectiveness of even a very small force 2. They continually send out groups of attackers/defenders to nearby supply camps and towers; either to assist you in capturing or holding that location 3. They offer a field merchant at their home location that allows you to sell your junk and even more importantly buy siege weapons 4. Neutralizing camps and/or gaining their friendship is doable by as little as 2 skilled players If a Mercenary camp isn't owned by any server, you must gain their 'Friendship'. The level of their friendship with any particular server is shown in the UI in the upper right hand corner. To gain friendship you need to assist that particular NPC much like you would for any regular Dynamic Event in PvE. You can help with rezzing downed NPCs or assist in killing their foes. For Ogres you have to kill harpies, for the Hylek you kill krait and for the Dredge you have to help kill destroyers. Knowing all this is great - but why are NPC camps important? NPC camps are important because they essentially are free reliable reenforcements. A big problem with the current WvW community is that many do not think in a post launch mindset, i.e. they attack a point only to leave it totally undefended or un-upgraded very soon afterwards. This allows locations that would otherwise be essential to your war effort (and simultaneously the easiest for the enemy to assault): Supply Camps and Towers etc, to be backcapped by relatively small forces. Gaining and maintaining the allegiance of these NPC camps will help to mitigate that by a great deal. A 5 man team will find it incredibly difficult to take an upgraded supply camp, one with additional, more powerful guards who are also supplemented by Ogres knocking them back, Dredge repeatedly blinding them or Hylek poisoning them lowering their heals. This affords the server with the NPC allegiance additional maneuverability as they are able to move about whilst knowing that their most sensitive locations cannot be attacked by a force lower than a certain amount. This has the added benefit of making servers overcommitt, sending a large force for these objectives, leaving their own points less defended. Intelligent play and usage of the NPC Mercenary camps will surely be a sign of the guilds and servers who maintain high rankings match after match and those who do not. Hopefully this article has been illuminating on the NPC Mercenary camps and causes you to rethink their value in the future! Interested in a serious WvW guild that also focuses on Community?

Hello Everyone! As an update we wanted to let the GW2 Community know that The Royal Guard has recently joined the Titan Alliance! We enjoyed amazing success with them in the last BWE, taking on Crystal Desert and Fort Aspenwood. We look forward to further success with them in launch and beyond as we continue towards TRG's goal of WvW domination! We are still openly recruiting to meet our recruitment goals for launch, though recruitment on specific classes is getting extremely tight. If you are looking for a Community focused, WvW oriented guild that is going places, look no further.
We have re-opened recruitment! If you are looking for a WvW oriented, fun focused, community driven guild - then there is none like The Royal Guard. Please check our recruitment post and our website for more information. We've spent the past month absolutely dominating WvW with our fellow guilds in Titan Alliance, and now we're looking forward to the future!
