Encephalon is a place for friends to come together and enjoy Guild Wars 2. This site will be a portal for organizing, recruiting members, and sharing our adventures in the world of Tyria. The needs of members and capabilities of this site will change as we grow in our experience with Guild Wars 2.
History: Most of our members met one another in Final Fantasy XI. Despite having different linkshells over the course of most of our tenures there, we remained good friends and have been for years.
The name Encephalon was coined by Misi in Final Fantasy XI, partly due to our love of Xenosaga (and Xenogears), and also metaphorically as the MMO is representative of the Encephalon in Xenosaga.
Structure: Encephalon is a democracy and all decisions will be made by the group. In game names coming soon…
Recruiting: Quality over Quantity has always been our motto. Members are allowed to invite friends to the guild. Just please, ask the guild first. If you stumbled upon us from another source, feel free to apply or ask me in game.
We hope to start with a fresh template in this game and therefore, people who carry excess baggage or cause drama will be removed from the guild.
Encephalon will be advertised lightly and pending our needs on various GW2 websites and fansites.
Rules: We're all friends here. However, we ask that you go by these general guidelines throughout the game: Be respectful to your fellow guild members, help each other, contribute to guild success, represent the guild well, leave drama to your momma, and play nice.
Other: We will be using some sort of VOIP software at least some of the time. Currently, we use Skype in Final Fantasy XI. Guildwork gives us a small Mumble server for free with options to expand. We'd like to consider other options and may eventually purchase server space for a Ventrillo server. VOIP isn't necessary, but considering the fast nature of GW2, it will be a useful thing for certain events.
Primarily an CST/EST guild, our most active hours are evenings to early mornings CST/EST time.
For Funsies: We joke around a lot in game. Many of us have inside jokes that we've tossed around for years. We make fun of each other all the time so please don't take it seriously. Finally, Fumoffu is our lord and savior. The giant, machine gun wielding teddy bear brings enlightenment to us all. /hail
