NeoGAF is represented in-game by Gaming Age Force [GAF]. Though you can join the guild regardless of server or region, the majority of the guild plays on the Stormbluff Isle server.
Please be aware that Stormbluff Isle is a North American server, and those who play on a European server will not be able to play there without a paid transfer, as guesting is region-specific.
For those on other North American servers, you can guest to Stormbluff Isle by clicking "World Selection" and choosing the "Guest" option.

How do I join?
Whisper or send an in-game mail to any of the Guild Leaders or Officers:
Ashodin, Hawkian, Gojira, Katoki, Kos Luftar, Lucrezia Stone, Professor Retro, Roxie Hood, Ivogar, Vyrance, Zed Zebes or Sophrelia
Alternatively, you can post your username ("name.####") or a character name in the thread, but because the thread tends to move fast we cannot guarantee we'll always see it.

Who can join?
Anyone; friends and family are more than welcome to join GAFGuild, but we ask that they be made aware of our guild policies, which can be viewed here: GAFGuild Policies.
Our policies are based heavily on GAF's own terms of service. Be aware that guild chat is often PG-13 in tone.

What resources does GAFGuild have?
  • GAFGuild.com
    To allow for more in-depth discussion, clearer event announcements and better organization, we currently have a separate site and forums located at www.GAFGuild.com.
    The site has a wealth of features not available on GAF, such as an events calendar, gallery and shoutbox. Images can be quickly posted directly into the forums as well.
    Though we'll usually cross-post, the best way to keep track of what GAFGuild is doing is to visit our site.

  • Mumble
    GAFGuild also maintains a private Mumble server for members.You can download Mumble here.
    The server/port information can be found by quoting this post (it will appear at the top, embedded in the e-mail tags).
    Please use your GAF name if possible, so we know who you are.

  • Twitter
    We will often tweet upcoming events and retweet GW2-related news.
    Follow us at @GAFGuild.

Excellent OT, Retro.

I'm excited to start fresh with a new OT. Second half of 2013 looks like it's going to be even crazier!

If Avatars aren't working, you may have to download it and upload it to GAF rather than providing the address.
Imgur is the only host I have that can host to a gallery like that, but apparently it doesn't like .png files.

I'm just glad the OT3 was here in time to celebrate our historic victory for beards everywhere.

An alternative OT is "Grow Now, Shave Never, Beards Forever"

Hooray for fresh new threads!

Hmm, I might see about buying a server transfer with gold. It'll take awhile tho, but it would be worth it to play on Stormbluff and do WvW with you all.

Also, since this is a new OT and all, I should finally reveal that I was actually Ursa Karhu the entire time.

Shocking, I know.

The Quaggans down there at the bottom started as a homage to the various good OT Titles that people suggested, and ended up sort of poking fun at various posters and events.

I know, I thought that was a great idea. I thought about taking the guardian one, but thought, "Nahh, that's totally Ash's deal".

Not sure I understand the "Snug as Fuck" one though.

That one is actually the one Ash should have taken, considering....

God, that thread.... What a mess that was. (Post in question is #44).

Ash switched over, so the Guardian is all yours!

Elementalists don't suck.

Nice OT.

Who said they did? I've been helping out a lowbie who needed some help (since he's playing an ele, I figured I'd be able to see the traits and skills) and been kind of enjoying it.

LOL, nice avatars.

As a rule, I try not to change my avatar... but PRetro the Quaggan Shill was too good to pass up, and it's not every day we have a new OT (or that I actually make one, this is my first).

I'll change it back in a month, like I did for Real Pic January.

I wonder if we can get through a page without a Hawkian post. The new destination must be messing with his programming :p

Nice OT.

Elementalists are amazing in the hands of a competent player. The problem is, the skill cap needed for the class is way higher than any other class. Way higher than most of the players playing the class too. Personally, I don't think it's worth the effort for PvE or WvW.

Being serious. Throughout OT2 and the last near-year I have met lots of people and made many many friends. Here's to an awesome upcoming anniversary and another great year. :)

This. Engineers also have this problem in that both classes have been somewhat pigeonholed into being hybrids while other professions can perform their designed role to their fullest and still be comparatively adequate in unsatisfactory situations. Elementalists and Engineers are still my two favorite classes in the game though as nothing else comes close to their fun, unique, and dynamic mechanics. Only min/max'ers in cof 1 and fotm will tell you that these classes are worthless in PvE and no class is worthless in WvW.

I still need to finalize my Ele's gear... I've been dwelling on it for a week now.

Edit: Come on. Where's the wizard quaggan avatar? Whoever made 'em did a bang up job.

Yeah, elementalists hurt to learn. I'm better off now than I was about two weeks ago but I'm still pretty dead most of the time.
 
Here to claim some numbered post less than 1000 so that I TOO can brag in guildchat.

bragging to commence momentarily.

ARAH!

PS: there are too many quaggans in here. Need some skritt saying "Gooooot something?"
