Heya, vc is part of discord but more importantly, our announcements, guides, general information about the guild and its members are found within our guild server.

Ah. I assumed when guild announcements said that Discord was a requirement, they meant that Discord *for voice chat* was required. I've always preferred actual forums to Discord-style "unstructured free form chat discussions that never end," and see the latter as being much more conducive to idle chatter than to actual information relay, so I wasn't expecting that guilds would be using Discord in lieu of real forums. But it's also been a few years since I was last involved in an MMO, and things change. I can adapt if need be.

Anyway, as to me and what I'm looking for....

(And I apologize in advance if you've already read this, as it's just a copy-and-paste from the "looking for guild recommendations" message I posted earlier today.)

I'm a mature (well, old, anyway, with three kids who are now adults), casual gamer, with substantially more interest in PvE than in PvP. (In other words, I don't really have much interest in PvP at all.) I'm new to ESO, but not to online gaming, as I've been gaming for 30 years, since I started back in the '80s on a Commodore 64.

What I look for in a guild is primarily just a fun group of people with whom to chat while I play. (And I mean chat via in-game text chat, as while I certainly see the advantages of voice chat when in a group or raiding, I'm honestly not likely to use it much while playing casually, and probably wouldn't join a guild that required its members to use it all the time.) As far as actual game play is concerned, I've always tended to prefer solo adventuring to grouping (though I haven't yet played ESO enough to know how practical that will be at higher levels), so I don't particularly expect much in terms of teammates or equipment from a guild. Certainly, I'm not after the sort of equipment "freebies" a lot of guilds in my experience offer new members just to try to boost their member counts. And on a similar note, I'd much prefer a small or medium-sized group that does at least a little screening of potential members to a large guild that invites anyone who asks.

I'm not trying to seem overly picky, here, but at the same time, I'd prefer not to have to "bounce" between guilds for a while before finding one that's a good fit, so I figure the better I elucidate what I'm looking for, the more likely I am to find the right guild.

As far as what I bring to the table, well, I'm a "grumpy old guy" with a love of puns and wordplay and a frequently bizarre sense of humor. The character I've finally settled on as my main is "Olwin the Unwary," a Breton sorcerer, though I'm sure I'll have more characters soon, as I've always been a bit of an altaholic.

If you think I might fit in your guild, I'm willing to give it a try. If not, no hard feelings.
