Looking for Guild: FFXIV and Fallen Earth
Did you miss us last week? Now that the submissions have slowed down quite a bit, we're switching to a biweekly schedule for the Looking for Guild column. So if you're on the fence about jumping in and joining up with a Massively player guild (or creating your own), now's the time!
This week we have three Final Fantasy XIV players looking to join up with other like-minded adventurers and one from Fallen Earth who's tired of soloing the wasteland. You can catch the entire list after the jump.
Here's how it works: If you're looking for a guild, simply send an email to shawn@massively.com with the subject line "LFG" and tell me the following:
The name of your game of choice (include server name if applicable)
Your usual play times (day and time of day)
Your main character class
Any alt classes you enjoy
Your preferred playstyle
What you would bring to a guild
Your main character name or contact name in-game (will not be published)
The following week (or weeks), I will post all submissions, minus the last question. If you're a guild leader or officer who is interested in pursuing someone you see in the column, you'll simply email me at the above address with the subject line "LFM - (Game name here)" and I will act as the liaison between the guild and the guild-seeker. That way, no contact info will be made public and connections can proceed in-game (or over email, if you choose) at the discretion of the submitter.
Game: Final Fantasy XIV - Server: Behemoth
Usual play times: Almost every day 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. EDT; weekends sometimes all day.
Main character class: Paladin (Currently 46; 50 within the week)
Any alt classes: Eventually Miner and Blacksmith or Armorer
Preferred playstyle: Dungeon-runner, low or high level! Looking for a group of people to do endgame with, but I'm always up for running lowbies through dungeons.
What I bring: Good tanking skills; casual and helpful attitude. I try to be active on the guild chat (don't like voice chat) and always try to bring humor into it without being offensive or a troll. I love doing dungeon "guild runs"!
Game: Final Fantasy XIV - Sargatanas server
Usual play times: Weekdays 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Weekends 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (CST/GMT-6:00)
Main character class: 50 Paladin
Any alt classes: Currently 50 Monk and 50 Warrior: I plan on getting 50 in all jobs/classes
Preferred playstyle: Semi-hardcore, if such a thing exists
What I bring: Not much for conversation, but I try to learn/study content before running it, and I am a quick study. Pretty serious when it comes to getting stuff done in-game.
Game: Final Fantasy XIV
Usual play times: 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. PDT
Main character class: Conjurer
Any alt classes: None
Preferred playstyle: Casual with goals
What I bring: Teamwork, unselfishness, maturity
Game: Fallen Earth
Usual play times: Weekday afternoons (flexible, EDT), some weeknights after 9 p.m. EDT
Main character class: Level 50 Melee CHOTA
Any alt classes: I also have two characters in their 20s (rifles and pistols) and a level 9 (pistols)
Preferred playstyle: PvE, dungeons, group questing. Right now I mainly craft and gain levels only so I can craft more, and I'm tired of playing alone!
What I bring: I'm a team player, and I can follow orders. I also love to craft, so I can make a lot of stuff for any guildies who need it.
