Hello everyone,
Although the Guild of the Blade and Rose is currently closed to open applications for guild membership, we have decided to open our doors to a limited number of PvP-oriented Guild Wars players.
Recently, Blade and Rose began PvPing in earnest, doing everything from TA and AB to more serious ventures such as GvG and HA, all with much success. However, the number of people actively engaging in PvP within the ranks of BaR is small, and doesn't appear to be growing anytime soon. We respect our PvEing community, and they are the basis of our guild, but we also seek to respect those members who wish to do PvP.
Because of this, we will now be recruiting five PvP players into Blade and Rose. This recruitment will be somewhat more strict than our general recruitment, and the requirements will be listed below.
To be considered for recruitment, you must meet the following requirements:
- A mature and responsbile playing attitude. If we cannot trust you, you will not be in the guild.
- A respectable attitude while engaged in battle. Players who shout insults at the other team of public chat channels, gloat in victory over a fallen team, or are abusive or unpleasent towards fellow teammates will find no place in Blade and Rose.
- At least Rank 1 or equivalent Gladiator or Champion titles. While we respect all people who wish to PvP, right now we are looking for more experienced players to help strengthen the guild.
- Open-minded and willing to learn and teach other guildmates. Not everyone may be experienced as you at PvP. As such, we are seeking people who are not only willing to teach, but also willing to learn from us. Growing together makes us stronger as a whole.
- No elitist attitude. We are not looking for "133t" players here. What we want are newer, and somewhat experienced players. That's not to say battle hardened veterns would not be considered, but anyone who feels they are better than anyone else will not be considered for membership. Leave the condescension at the door.
- Must be on at least once every other weekday, and most times on weekends. Obviously, life comes first in the guild, but we are looking for players who are on a majority of the time to maximize our ability to effectively PvP
- Must be willing to work and team with other guildmates. This one is self explanatory. We will be PvPing as a guild, and as such, we expect people who we recruit to actively participate in the guild.
If you meet these requirements, please feel free to submit your application here in this thread. Make sure to include your:
- In-game Name (IGN)
- World Region (Europe, America, etc)
- Timezone
- Estimated hours of play a day for weekdays and weekends
- Rank/Gladiator/Champion level
- Classes most skilled with
- Any other information you think may help, such as prior PvP experience, and the like
Because this is a limited recruitment, not all applicants will end up in the guild. Also, to effectively test the potential recruits, applicants will be interviewed by a Blade and Rose officer, and upon approval, undergo a two-week probationary membership. At the end of this, if the guild feels the applicant is a good fit, he or she will be welcomed into Blade and Rose as a full member with all the rights and privlidges awarded to that rank.
As we fill up our spots, I will update this thread so that potential applicants are aware of how many spots remain, and who has been accepted.
As of now, there are FIVE spots open.
Thank you for your time, and for your interest in Blade and Rose PvP.

Quintus,
As I am not in your guild, take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
The Champion titles carry a much greater weight than the Gladiator or Hero titles. If you are looking for experienced players, the Rank 2 equivalent from HA is about 40 matches doing SF in HA with heroes. You may wish to consider upping that particular requirement if you are looking for skilled PvP players.
I'm willing to consider players of lower skill tiers so long as they have a good attitude and are willing to learn. That is basically the biggest thing right now, we need people who have some skill and are willing to learn and teach others. We have three or four experienced PvPers in the guild, but because many people like to PvE almost exclusively, we need a few dedicated PvPers to help us out.

Diab, I moved this here from our forum at your permission. I hope we are able to find more interest in the literal recruitment forum.

Rank 3
Warriors, Mesmers, and I plan to learn Paragon
I played Guild Wars alot until the Guild I was in broke up. This amde me lose interest, although I started playing again during at the end of the Summer (and have all 3 chapters). I've had several victories in the Hall of Heroes with PUGs I created. I'm currently planning to finish prophecies and begin work on strong builds for my Paragon. I'm also always willing to learn to play new classes and learn new builds which may improve my gameplay.
Hey Chan, thanks for your interest. An officer or myself will contact you soon. We'll have a few short questions for you, and maybe do a few runs in HA or something. If you like as and we like you, we'll get you a trial membership. Hope everything works out, and thanks for giving us a chance.

Rank 3
monk, war and ele (i could do more if you want me to)
i have been playing guild wars since may last year and my pve char has 2mil exp. i have all 3 released linked onto 1 account and i nearly completed nightfall so i can unlock elite skills if i wanted to. i am willing to learn and i am kind.
Hey there Timir Tim. Same routine as Chan, I or one of my officers will message you in game, and we'll go through the steps.
I think what is best is for you and Chan to give me a time that you are most able to be on, and we can arrange a little PvPing. Set up an appointment, if you will. That way, we aren't subject to the randomosity of an average person's on-offline time.
Also, Blade and Rose has many European players, so I want to address that. I'm American, and I'd say about 75% of our players are American, but we do have very active European players, so I don't want you to worry too much about us not being an exclusively Euro guild.
