Looking for a nice guild
Kimyrielle

I have played this game since closed beta, and I have been member of several social/community guilds that slowly faded to “low activity” land, so I am in the market for a new home.
Here goes nothing!
About me, I am in my 40s (no, I am not a dinosaur - I don't even look like one!) and live on the West Coast. I have played pretty much every major MMO not called World of Warcraft since the early 2000s. I tend to put considerable hours into MMOs and am fairly active, but I am generally not terribly hardcore about gaming. After one and a half decades of playing this type of game, I like to think I am competent enough a player to have understood that standing in red circles isn’t necessarily a smart thing to do, but I haven’t done much in terms of hard content in this game, so I am hardly a ESO authority on...anything. Chatting and playing with great people is more important to me than being the first to complete the newest content update or having the newest shiny stuff. Except that dress is really pretty, in which case I start caring! Dresses matter!
I am looking for a social guild more than anything. I am fairly chatty, strongly convinced not to be a drama queen, and value fun/intelligent conversations. Maturity is an absolute must. I can take the occasional slippery/crude joke, but if your guild chat is ESO’s premier choice for exchanging Yo Momma and Chuck Norris jokes, or generally features more f-bombs per sentence than the average sailor’s pub, I might not be a good fit for you. Sorry, but I don’t find that kind of stuff particularly amusing, even if you do! Tastes are...different, I guess?
Same goes if your set of guild rules takes longer to read than the Encyclopedia Britannica. I don’t need or want bosses on a power-trip to regulate my in-game life for me, up to and including telling me what I can wear to the Wayrest tavern. Or whatever other ridiculous things some guilds these days think they need to make rules for. I just want to be with a bunch of great people to chat and play with, so I find excessive rulebooks or obscene numbers of tiers of ranks in a guild more off-putting than anything. I am fairly convinced that “Don’t be a jerk!” and “Don’t be a stranger!” are the only rules a guild ever needs. In short, if you run a military-style organization with a whole lot of dos and even more don’ts,, or believe in “buy this raffle ticket or we will torture a kitten!” fundraising, or if your recruiting process involves me surviving alone in the Sahara for six months without water supply and getting glorious references from at least five different acting heads of state, you might want to abstain from recruiting me. I don't think it would work.
Voice com: I don’t care if you have or don’t have it, but since a lot of guilds these days expect every member to use it all the time, I feel the need to point out that I don’t care for voice com, and prefer typed chat. I can see the point of using it for super-hard content, but otherwise I prefer to listen to background music when playing and still be able to talk to my family around me. So “mandatory voice chat” guilds are not for me, either. Sorry!
Ideally, your guild is decently sized and is active not only during peak hours. I usually don’t even play during peak hours, so there’s that. You are most likely to see me online in the mornings and early afternoons PST, so it would be super awesome if some things would be going on during that time. Except for trials (I never liked raiding, and fear I never will – it’s a bit outside of my comfort zone), I am interested in pretty much all aspects of the game and wouldn’t mind getting introduced to the dungeon and/or PvP side a bit more. Yes, I can listen to good advice! But no, I don’t appreciate being called names or kicked from the group if I make a mistake, so if your group does stuff like that, you might want to move on to reading somebody else’s resume.
I usually play healers/support characters and ranged damage dealers. Tanking is not my thing. I rather hide behind them, because it makes me feel cozy and safe! Hey, don’t complain! I will heal you in return! Or at least kick the mob bashing your shield in the behind (from far, far away, of course!) My two main characters are an AD Templar and a DC Sorc. Generally, AD is my main alliance, in case that matters. I don’t have any EP characters.
I am also open to RP, if that’s a thing in your guild, but in line with the above, I prefer it not to be hyper-organized. I prefer tavern-style RP, or in-character playthroughs over acting out super-detailed plots provided by the leadership (of course featuring said leadership as main cast with everybody else relegated to supporting roles...) At the very least I am utterly not interested in “evil” RP. My characters are nicer than most girl-scouts. Except they don’t bake cookies. You get the idea!
Last but not least – I am not looking for free stuff, or a personal trainer to take me by the hand and assist me night and day, and I won’t be a burden to your guild. You don’t have to lure me with a well stocked guild bank or other goodies. I will never ask for things I am not prepared to give back. In the end, all I want is good company.
If you read through this wall of text and still think I could be a good match for your community, feel free to shoot me a message or contact me in game.
Thanks for reading! Yes, you really made it all the way through! Woot!

Savina✭✭✭Vanquish might be what you are looking for (your write-up describes about half our 250 member guild). You can check out our website and fill out an application.
Here is our recruitment thread if you'd like to read about us on these forums.
All alliances are welcome however our guild PvP events are held within DC.
Hope you find what you are looking for,

Higuchi✭✭Good Day, Kimyrielle!
I've read through all that you wrote. And I gotta say I am totally and completely agree with all this^
: (maturity and respect, decent language, “Don’t be a jerk!” and “Don’t be a stranger!” , not a raider, dislike voice.com, light-RP possible) !
It's been a pain to find a guild like the one you're looking for. It's either a social guild with lots of rules you follow otherwise being kicked, or a trade guild with no communication at all.
So, my suggestion. why don't we stick together? Starting from *friendlist and figure it out later . it's like in the "Log Horizon": longing for adventures and having joy of traveling with friends does not necessarily require to be in a guild. We can be a group of friends hanging out and enjoying ourselves (as a start) ;D
Drop me a line @hig'uchi
With all respect,
Higuchi the Mage0 -
The Crusaders of Akatosh is a social guild and we're strict on being family friendly and have zero tolerance towards jerks, and offensive language or behaviour. Let me know if you're interested

Cyth27✭Hey there @Kimyrielle! I am in a guild called The Living Tribunal which you might be interested in. We are looking for active, friendly members more than anything else. We are not what you would call "family friendly" but we don't have an obscene amount of cursing either. Literally, the slogan we use to describe our guild is "Don't be a jerk" and we do our best not to over-police members while also making sure our guild environment stays safe and friendly to ALL gamers (we have plenty gamers of color, women gamers, and LGBTQ+ gamers - I happen to be all of them, as well as a guild leader!).
To join our Discord server members are required to read and agree to our guidelines first. That would be this wall of text:The Living Tribunal is a social PvE guild that exists to be an active and welcoming place for both new and veteran players looking to game solo or with others in a non-judgmental and friendly environment. We help new players find their place in ESO and give veteran players a non-toxic community to tackle endgame content with.We welcome gamers of all genders, cultures, and backgrounds, and promises to provide a respectful, accepting community for all. Please review the guidelines below:
1. All guild members are expected to be respectful and polite when dealing with other members of the community. Griefing, interfering with other players, and otherwise being a jerk is not permitted.
2. Humor is welcome! If someone is offended by a joke, apologize and move on; if you're offended, state that and then move on. There's no need to go into depth on the matter.
3. The following topics are off-limits in general guild chat:
-Current major political/religious issues
-Spoilers of recent films/games/shows
-Exclusionary and abusive commentary on identity, sex, gender, race and religion.
4. Adult language (aka “cursing”) in guild chat is Permitted, but within reason. Please be aware that excessive use of adult language may make others uncomfortable. If asked to tone it down, please be respectful and responsive in toning it down.
5. When participating in officially scheduled guild events, we ask members to keep to appropriate chat to avoid making other players uncomfortable or feel unwelcome.
6. All players are expected to treat everyone with respect and politeness.
We also have a special PG-13 voice channel for those that want to hangout in voice without having to listen to explicit language. There are also members who hangout in voice chat with us, but they don't use their mics and just communicate via text. We love our text talkers, too. But voice is only ever required during veteran trials or progression trials, so nothing you'll ever have to worry about Lots of active text channels in our Discord too!
Anyways, there's my wall of text reply :P If you think our guild might be a good fit for you, just send me a friend request or in-game message to @Cyth27!0
