At least that's what I read before I ever joined.  Never really asked where the name came from.  Sounds all scary and destructive... pretty much like a good WvW guild. ;)

We are still looking for skilled players for release.  Stop by and check us out!  www.shadowofapophis.com

Last BWE and Launch Day are coming up real fast! Drop in an application, hang out, and have fun with a great group of people.

We're nearing our roster goal for Guild Wars 2, but we'd still like to include some more people! We're going to explore everything GW2 has to offer, but WvW is our primary focus. We plan on dominating the maps with our guild and our alliance - if you're looking to join a coordinated group of players that want to have fun and wreck faces in large-scale PvP, then apply today!

SoA is still recruiting more for WvW!!

Great group of gamers who not only know how to have fun but know how to own in games in all aspects. Still looking for more players however we are close to our goal so hurry and visit  http://www.shadowofapophis.com and throw in an application. 

Still looking for more players for the launch of Guild Wars 2!

47 Days till headstart!

Very cool guild with super nice people.

Join us~!

SoA is still recruiting! Need more Mesmers and Guardians please! 

SoA Week Since Forever update:

Beta is coming up and we are gearing up for some a great weekend. We are very close to our recruitment goals and our teams have been set up.

The Alliance is in full swing, with many guild applying and the present guilds enjoying working with one another.

Welome to all our fantastic new members who have joined us.
 

The new forums are up and done, now to work on the front page!

Only one week left until the last beta weekend for Guild Wars 2! We're almost done prepping for WvW and are really excited to put plans into motion.

Don't go into the next beta solo! If you want a competitive guild gearing up for WvW, then check out our site and fill out an app.

It's been a while since I've posted but our goal hasn't changed. We're still looking for more members so please come by our website and put in an application. We wan't PvP orriented, team players.

Getting closer to the next BWE.  Now is a great time to join a guild and to have a chance to play with your new guildmates a bit before launch!  Come check out SoA if you like the idea of winning in WvW.

We still have some more room for recruitment! Filling out the last of the roster for the next Beta and release! Come apply! 

Last BWE is almost upon us.  I believe we still have some roster slots to fill out, although recruitment has been closed on a couple of classes.  If you're interested in being a part of a WvW winning guild and part of a coordinated alliance, now is the time to apply.  I'm 100% sure it will be more difficult to secure a spot on the roster of top rated WvW guilds come release.

We have re-opened recruitment for the mesmer and elementalist. Elementalist is limited recruitment, meaning you need impress us to a higher degree in the application process. Mesmer is opened as per usual acceptance standards.

Bear in mind that due to recruiting for these classes, you're locked into these classes for a certain period of time post-launch.

With the lack of current gameplay availability, how would one "impress" you?

   I'm also confused by your initial recruitment statement that says "tight-knit", yet it asks for 50-60 people.   Working in an office of 300, I can tell you that I barely know the names of the 20 people on my team, let alone anyone beyond that.  The size you're asking for doesn't seem to be tight at all, but instead a zerg group.  Mind you even if you split it in half you have two small raid-size groups of a atleast 20.

And, overall your recruitment statement doesn't provide information on how the guild would be useful to someone to join.  Ya,  I know that people shouldn't just join guilds to gain something out of it, but right now it seems more like endentured servitude when saying that soloing is fround upon and that grouping is almost a must.     This feeling is only exasperated when your recruiting process requires application, interview, and the whole 9yards of a JOB hiring process.   I thought it was a game, not a 2nd job?
