General Guild Info
History
KoM was established in December 2000 as a competitive FPS gaming clan when, following their sweeping of a tournament on the MSN Gaming Zone, our founders discovered a mutual love for the classic adventure game Myst. Our roster includes a number of former "professional" gamers from the days of eSports' infancy. This pro experience includes classic series from the FPS genre like Quake and Unreal Tournament, but also extends into the 2010s with games like Overwatch, as well as games from other genres, such as League of Legends. From 2005 to 2008, many of our members played for top 25 ranked GvG guilds in Guild Wars 1.
Over the years, KoM has evolved into a group of close friends that has gradually become more casual with our gaming. Most of our members are pushing 40 with kids and a mortgage--spending 4 hours on a Saturday tweaking config files is not how we spend our time anymore. With that said, we do still retain our competitive nature, and the desire to improve as individual players and as a team will never go away.
Recruiting
We don't actively recruit, and have always been very picky when adding players to our ranks. But every so often we come across players with a similar attitude and skill level. If you believe you have a high skill level when it comes to GW2 WvW roaming and a laidback, real life comes first mindset and are interested in joining, contact an officer in-game or on Discord. We'll try to get some play sessions in with you ASAP to assess whether we'd be a good fit for one another.
Some expectations of any potential recruit:
- High skill level at / extensive knowledge of GW2 WvW roaming & clouding, while always wanting to improve and learn more. Understanding concepts paramount to the playstyle like positioning/overextending, peeling, zoning/denial, resource (cooldown/dodge) management, and class mechanics are things we will take the time to train old KoM members for when they start playing or return to the game, but not a potential new member. We just don't want to spend the time on that anymore.
- "Cool under pressure" calm approach to gaming. We want players that are competitive and want to win and improve, but not to the point of excessive raging. It's not that serious.
- Actual mature attitude. For whatever reason, most guilds that call themselves "mature" seem to think that means flooding voice comms with 24/7 crudeness. If that's your definition as well, there are plenty of other middle school lunch table guilds out there to choose from.
- Ability to use voice comms efficiently. Mic preferred, but at the very least, be able to respond to what's communicated by others.
- Some level of activity on our Discord and/or forums
- No strict rep requirements, but may be expected to wear the tag when playing in a group with us
- Flexibility when it comes to playing a variety of classes/roles is preferred, but one-tricks are welcome too.
Guild Wars 2 Info
In GW2, KoM is a small, tight-knit guild that primarily focuses on small group roaming and clouding in WvW. In the first few years of the game, we ran structured 5 man groups with designated roles / builds and excelled in outnumbered fights.In the years following, most of our members took extended breaks from the game. As of 2026 we are enjoying a bit of a resurgence, with several core members back actively playing, learning the new elite specializations & mechanics, and generally getting a feel for the game in its current state.
Although we do some PvE, group PvE is very rare and generally only involves content that leads to gear for WvW (i.e. to acquire legendaries).
KoM was on the Gate of Madness (NA) server from the game's pre-launch through the 2024 world restructuring. Several of our members are also members of the [GOM] server guild in order to maintain our link to the original GoM community for WvW.
