Guild Wars: Guild of the Week: Clan Roxor [CR]

This week's Guild of the Week is 7-year old Clan Roxor [CR].

Clan Roxor [CR] chose Guild Wars because the members wanted a fun game that didn't charge a monthly fee. Many of the guild's members also participated in the beta and saw this as a game they could all get behind and play together as friends, a very important part of any online game. The group started as a Diablo 2 guild in 1999, but that game didn't offer much in the way of PvP. They considered moving to another MMORPG, but believed it had been ruined by the time Guild Wars was released. They've dabbled in StarCraft and Quake, but Guild Wars is the first game in which they took competition seriously.

And thoughts of PvP:

Clan Roxor members prefer GvG, feeling that it offers the most serious and rewarding competition. Getting eight people together for a full night of play and doing well is a very satisfying experience for them. Heroes' Ascent used to be their fallback if they didn't have enough players for GvG, but recently it has satisfied them less and less.

They've set their sights on reaching the top 20 by next season (with the caveat that everyone stays and continues to play on a regular schedule, of course). Even so, they admit to needing some work, but they believe they have good people who are capable of top-level GvG. They've seen other guilds struggle to find eight people competent enough to field a solid GvG team, and they know how hard it is. Though at this point, they say, they've passed that hurdle and are ready to move on to the next level of play.
