Guild Wars 2: 'and i thought i would go to bed after i got to level 30'

[Gollgagh]

for me it's people to hang out with, mostly

Pretty much this. There's also guild-based buffs and missions you can participate in; while you can also partake of some of these from outside the guild, you would certainly be missing out on the tighter-knit community of a guild. Some guilds are formed with a specific purpose, such as World v. World coordination or dungeon-running, so if you have specific interests, you could always try joining one of those. But having a community guild under your belt can make the game experience richer, especially when you're able to directly assist each other with various goals on a regular basis.

Sweet, so but the main thing is I need to find a recruiter from a guild... and I haven't exactly seen... people...

[Kenogu Labz]

Heh, just ask around. Recruiting does seem to be dampened, but call out, ask around. People will jump all over you, in a good way.

What's your in-game name? I can add you to my contacts and see if we can pull you into POV.

I'm "Brandon Strader" as far as I know.

Is it normal to run the game in a window instead of full screen? It seems like something that you could just leave run passively while chatting or whatever... Is that what you guys do?

[Kenogu Labz]

They have borderless windowed, so you have the benefit of alt-tab compatibility without sacrificing resolution. It can be a bit of a pain to accidentally click outside the window, which is why I usually try to avoid anything less than fullscreen.

[Gollgagh]

I run borderless fullscreen as well, but I also have a dual screen setup
