I don't know if I will actually set this up, this is purely an interest in testing the waters, as the waters are deep and I have no idea who would be interested, aside from the one friend I have already made in these regards.  Anyhow, I am a traditional anglican christian and am interested in starting a guild for christians who plan on playing GW2.  I don't have a solid foundation in the plans I have for the guild aside from just having some people to play alongside with.  this isn't a thread for "lols" and bashing, because honestly I don't care all that much, but go for it if that's all you can do.  so yeah, if anyone has any interest in this just post or message me if you wish to be a little more private.  The idea I had for a name is Sanctorum Communio Cristo, but is able to be changed.  you don't have to be ultra conservative, and you can be liberal, but once you leave the realm of Christ being the way, the truth, and the light, then your blip has fallen off the christian radar, but that doesn't wholly exclude you if you would still enjoy some community of this nature.

Christian guilds are hard to find these days. I am already commited to my guild, or I would join you.

I wish you the best with your endeavours.

I wouldn't call myself a christian, but good luck to you. Nothing wrong with trying to form a group of like-minded people to play with. That's what guilds are for, after all.

But you'd probably have better luck trying to look up some christian gamer websites or Facebook pages. I'm sure there's stuff like that out there.

Here there be trolls.

Good point. Here is where I go when I am looking for a Christian guild:

EDIT. meh.. removed the meme... seemed just cruel :D

Anyhow, I didn't know this christianity can have such a big influence on people so they start guilds in game XD

But, best of luck to you...

Here you go.

They will be playing GW2.

Ok, I cleaned this thread up.

This thread is about the poster wanting to find a similiar community. It is not about discussing religion itself.

Talking/debating specifically about religion and ethics is not allowed on the forum. Talking about groups that incorporate belief systems in creating a guild  that speaks to aspecific demographic can be moved to the off topic forum as long as it follows the rules of conduct. Essentially having a discussion on the merits or demertis of guilds/games that lean toward a belief system should work as long as those belief systems are not attacked or promoted in a way that breaks our rules of conduct.

Keep this thread on track please.

Huh?

I have no interest in joining 'christian mmorpg guild' or any other religion guild for that matter  - but where do you see thing things you accusing him to?

He has same right as anyone else to make his own guild type.

After all there are national guilds, city guilds,  junior or senior guilds - so why not christian or budda or anyother religion guild?

Anyway sorry - hope this is not off-topic too much - if it is then I aplogize.

nah, not off topic.  it just reinforces a foundation.  thanks for your defence of the subject.  I think he read it and then before really understanding or thinking about it, jumped to a conclusion.  oh well, it doesn't really matter all that much.  enjoy your time in GW2, regardless of your guild :D

A beautiful gesture would be to make a guild for all religions believing in the same God. Or form some kind of friendship (don't know if there is some kind of alliance relationship in GW2?) if another Jewish or Muslim guild exist.

In the other hand, 3 of those guilds may actually be in war all the time :D

Anyway, appart from that, I've never seen a Christian or any religious guild in my entire life...would be cool for you if you can find one.

If lesbians managed to create a lesbian only guild (Warcraft), surely you should find enough people to start a Christian guild.

I do want to mention here that I disagree with the idea of having a guild based on any real life affiliations (with the possible exception of geographic locations), especially religious ones. But having said that, I hope you find a good group of people to join you and have a blast and a half playing the game.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to create a christian guild for gw2? Is it to discuss religion in game? Or is it to keep people out that don't share your religious beliefs? Would you be willing to accept non-christians into your guild, like a church? Or is it strictly christian only, not like a church? Thanks.

I wont likely be playing GW but i must say good luck to you in you endeavor!

I'm in the Band of Hope guild on LotRO (listed in the "list of Christian MMO Guilds" link), and for a while ran a SWTOR guild called "A Light in the Dark" with the same intent. The latter did not go well - had only 3 people who didn't start in BoH show any interest in it, and so the guild was typically very quiet. Plus it was SWTOR, so... you know...

Anyway, in my experience, Christian guilds tend to be very social guilds instead of Raiding guilds, PvP guilds, and so on. It can be difficult for a gamer like myself to find and remain in a Christian guild as a result, especially if the expectation is for raiding, PvP, etc.

As someone who did lead a guild, I would tell you that if you're only passively interested in the guild, don't try to set it up. To have the guild you WANT, you'll need to absolutely pour yourself into it, spending way more hours than you would suspect advertising, talking to people in your guild and setting up content runs, talking to new prospective members, and so on. Once the guild is well-established, you'll hopefully have some officers that will help do those things with you, but don't expect that to be the case right away.

Well hello guildy. I am also in a band of hope.
