Looking at the prospect of a merger? - Guild Wars Forums

Looking to PvP but don't seem to have enough members online at the same time?

Want to run The Underworld, but hate those dreaded pick-up-groups?

Need help conquering Thunderhead Keep, but there's not enough guild members online to do it?

Heroes Etc... is a guild founded after the October WPE dedicated to seeking out active players who share the same principles. We currently have 56 members, averaging 25 active members each day. We have truly developed a strong community amongst the active players over the course of time.

We are currently looking to increase the number of active members in our guild, primarily by working together with another, smaller guild who may wish to join forces. Our goal is to ensure that when a member logs on, they will have no trouble finding other guild members who are looking to do the same thing- be it High Level PvE, Tombs, Low Level PvE, Guild vs Guild, Arena, or whatever. We feel that welcoming the full membership of another guild whose goals and ideals match ours would be the best way for both parties to get the full enjoyment of the game. Currently, we field teams in The Underworld and The Fissure of Woe once or twice a week. We have some members who spend a good deal of their time in Tombs as part of a pick-up-group or in the Arenas. We often field full guild teams in the Deldrimoor Arena as well. We have done some Guild vs Guild, and enjoyed it tremendously. Also, we spend a great deal of time helping folks run missions that they have been having trouble with, or are just looking for some company while running. We are looking to increase our ability to do these on a more regular basis by adding more members who are looking to do the same things. We are primarily a US based guild, with a few European members as well. We play primarily in the evenings (EST-PST) during the week and throughout the day on the weekends. We also have two different TS servers available to us.

Heroes Etc... was founded based on the concepts of mutual respect for all players, fair play, and having fun. If, after reading our philosophy, you feel that you and the members of your guild would be a good fit, I would encourage you let us know of your interest.

There are certain considerations that must be made before we would finalize such a merger.

The philosophy of Heroes Etc... must be protected. The concepts put forth in our philosophy are simple, and we are loking for gamers who have an appreciation for them.

A 'feeling out' period must be observed. In order to ensure that the two guilds are a good fit for each other, inter-guild groupings would be encouraged in both PvE and PvP so that we can get to know each other, and make sure that each party is as advertised. After such a feeling out period, assuming that we are a good fit for each other, the guild leader and officers of the guild looking to join us would be considered officers in Heroes Etc...

To maintain consistancy and stability for our current members, the site and forums for Hereos Etc... would remain as is. We certainly do not believe that our site or our forums are the greatest thing there ever was (in fact, they are utilitarian, at best) but they are stable and perform the function for which they were built. The site and boards both are currently managed by myself, and as the guild leader, I know that they will be around so long as I am. We do not wish to rely on any member to provide hosting or board management to avoid the hassles that could come from that member becoming inactive or leaving the game or guild for other pursuits.

The goal here is to provide the best guild and gaming experience that we possibly can, for all of our members. Having more folks around who share in our desire to have fun playing this game simply makes this much easier to accomplish.

If this sounds like it might be interesting to you at all, please take a few minutes to check out what we are all about and drop us a line in the forum marked "Welcome to Heroes Etc..." at http://members.cox.net/dannzzigg
