Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to look at my recruitment post. I am a returning player to ESO and it’s been around 5 years since I ran a guild here. At that time we were little more than a group of MMO friends who wanted to try something new. We didn’t smash a lot of the content, indeed most of us played solo even back then, but guild chat was always a busy place and sometimes you would log on and do little else ‘but’ chat to friends.
I am still the leader of that guild; I hold onto it because the bank space is nice :), but my good MMO friends have either stopped playing, currently playing something else, or have other commitments... You know how it is with MMO’s if you’ve been playing as long as I have (since 1997 if you were wondering!?).

I’m an older player, 51 good life levels to be precise and I have found that age tends to have a way of imposing a certain playstyle on you. I don’t care about DPS and the best gear anymore, those days are behind me in Everquest 1 and 2, WoW, GW2 and SWTOR, the list goes on. Here I want to relax, enjoy the amazing amount of content ESO has and just take my time.

And I'm looking for like-minded people to join me!

The guild is billed as a solo player guild and that’s really what I would love it to be. I like to play solo mostly and with Blackwood companions on the horizon I see that continuing. There comes a time though when even us solo players need some help, fancy a dungeon run, and even want to try for vet level or hit dailies if the mood arises, right?
I want members who are willing to respect the solo player and let them do their thing, but at the same time might want to spontaneously ask if anyone fancies a dungeon. I’m looking for older players like myself, who might be looking for some actual friends in-game, the sort of people who want to talk about the game, explore and learn the game (new players a very welcome for this reason!) or just generally shoot the breeze with others. Maybe I’m looking at my time in the MMO’s of the past with rose-tinted glasses, but I do remember a time when you could make good friends in an MMO; indeed, I still have friends from those early days.

So, if my rants interest you and you feel like you would like an old-fashioned guild where you know everyone by name, and there is no requirement whatsoever to group or hit guild events, then hit me up in-game or leave a message here and I will try and get back to you asap.

@iwillgo, but please... Call me ‘Art’ everyone else has done for years and all my character names start that way. :)


PS: At the time of posting, it’s just me, so know that you will be joining a very small guild for a while, I am hopeful that will change soon.

    Thanks for the response ingame folks, it's been great to meet you!

    Thought it might be worth adding that the guild runs mainly UTC 17:00 to around 23:00

    And as much of the weekend as we can all get away with! :)

    Now this sounds like the kinda guild I've been looking for :)

    Joined a few but zero guild chat other than LFG.

    I'd like to join, @devore74 if you want a bit'o'banter in the guild

    This is curious... And I don't know exactly whats happening here.

    I haven't been able to contact, Dalonas, Laethoria or devore74 at all and I have tried MANY times.

    Normally when you type someones name in a /tell the game pre-empts the name of anyone with those few letter that you have typed. But you 3 the game doesn't find your names at all! :(

    Any suggestions?

    Sorry I cant get in touch folks!

    Hi Art,

    This sounds like a great guild, just what I am looking for. I sent you an in-game mail as well.

    Hey Art,

    Another old sod here, at a mere 57. At my age reflexes are something that are but a distant memory. As such I'm definitely in the potter around the map camp.

    I did purchase the game on release but dropped out after about 6 months. All of my friends were heavily time invested in WoW, as was I, and didn't want to switch. Community always outweighed content for me, so that's where I stayed. I have only dabbled in WoW periodically for the past 5-6 years and the old guild communicates via FB these days. It has mostly been Skyrim and Fallout for me in that time.

    Don't know what enticed me back, yesterday, but here I am on a new account (couldn't remember email/passwords for the old one, it was so long ago.) I'll drop you a message in game, if I remember how, and it would be nice to interact with some like minded souls.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Mate, I should have read your post before I made mine. You and the way you do things sound great to me. 63 years young here similar background to yourself but my attitudes have changed as I have got older and are very similar to yours.. Can I join your guild please 😊

    Hello!

    Is this guild still active? I am an older solo player who joined pretty much at launch but who has taken a long break to play solo rpgs or other mmo's like DDO and Fallout 76. One of the things I am missing in this game is occasionally taking part in raiding/dungeon runs (especially at the moment) but without the backing of a guild or group I haven't been able to as yet. I guess I am a bit to shy to PUG :)

    This guild sounds perfect. I do like to play solo but I am always happy to chat, help out and swap loot. I am pretty easy going and happy to play any way the group I am in fancies. Zerg or sniff, both are fine!

    Please can I join your guild?

    Thanks,
    saryent

    P.S. I am also house trained :)
