Unlimited bore the burden of this statement through the duration of the first open beta event, cast on us by the membership itself. It was a challenge, to perform in WvWvW, and prove to ourselves that the goals we have for release are well within our reach.
The first beta weekend was more than just an event for Unlimited, it was a triumph. Our participation on Ehmry Bay was beyond significant, so much so that the constant support we rallied by taking charge was paramount to our victory in 2 out of 3 of the cycles. We hope to rally the same level of support from our next server in coming BWEs.
Unlimited drew in so much attention at one point we had 5 lead designers and developers running with our core group from keep to keep (and a few on our TeamSpeak to chat) razing our enemy along the way.
We made a point to do certain things in each of the enemy home-worlds, at such a constant rate; we’ve no doubt ensured our server will never be forgotten. That's certainly not to say Unlimited did this alone. On the contrary, there were many groups on Ehmry Bay riding to victory alongside us including a group that we rolled with in hopes of establishing a positive server community on a future release server. This, in fact, is the point. With one of the lowest populated servers (Ehmry Bay) we faced one of the highest populated servers (Maguuma, two cycles in a row!) and pulled off a victory. The level of play displayed by our server, as small as it turned out, was enthralling.
At one point we found Unlimited being called out in group chat across all three servers with either envious complaints or gleeful praise. The levels of scrutiny used to hand select the members of this guild shined its brightest this past weekend. Using the same levels of scrutiny we now look for groups to join us in the next Beta Weekend, and hopefully into launch, as part of an Alliance. The need for a competent and active server community is paramount for reaching the level of success we all want in WvWvW. Now that you have all seen what WvWvW is going to take, we implore you to contact us to form an alliance or join our ranks. Let’s start building this community now, and prepare the onslaught our enemies will face in WvWvW.
We’ve stood the test of time, and we’ve seen the battlefield. We’re ready to stain it with blood again.

On April 15, 2012, Unlimited held its third guild meeting. As usual, the leaders had the intention of keeping the meeting brief; to the point and with little off-topic discussion so people could go on their ways. The meeting focused on the status of the guild/recent strides as well as an open discussion of important topics that may impact the future of the guild as we approach beta, and into release.
No forum thread was posted declaring a mandatory meeting on said date and time. At most, the normal header read: "While we urge you to attend, we understand people have work and other obligations. Please do your best to be there." The meeting welcomed a bit over 3/4 of the guild's population through the evening, with a majority present the entire duration. The meeting lasted 2.25 hours with fluid open discussion promoted by the membership rather than the leaders. Even after adjournment, members continued these discussions with each other and the leadership, all with one goal in mind: the betterment of the guild. Crucial decision-making for the entire guild became a shared discussion through which the leadership was able to acquire valuable insight from the members to further their own discussions.
This is what it means to be in Unlimited. Our members are hand-selected, one by one, for the purpose of housing individuals with admirable personalities, experienced minds (in life and the gaming world), and commitment to their fellow members and a community beyond their own. It's hard to believe that any kind of meeting can be enjoyable, but even when we are serious, our time shared is enjoyable...invaluable. The other 1/4 of the guild who did not make the meeting anxiously awaited the upload of the meeting recording. The self-proclaimed guild scribe included, who without prompting, diligently listened to the notes, and prepared a summary for all (Props to you Ashy!).
We are more than capable gamers with proven histories. We are friends to the community beyond our own. We are ready for Guild Wars 2. We are Unlimited.by Published on 03-28-2012 07:20 PM
We're approaching the days when pre-release will become a thing of the past, the beta and proverbial "when it's finished" is soon to come.
Like a group of people waiting to receive their meal at a restaurant, the Salad (Beta) is on its way to the table. We all look forward to the salad, but it's the Meat and Potatoes that comes later we're all drooling over. The Potatoes (Headstart) come next, and we're all pretty hungry. After that, the Meat (Release Day) will arrive and we couldn't be happier. We invite you to come set your place at our table.
Unlimited has grown beyond our wildest expectations in preparation for this illustrious occasion. Our members have become more than a guild or a community, we've become a family. A family that has set the ground work, the core foundation, for an unwavering war machine.
We're nearing the numbers we've dubbed "fit" to go into launch with. If you haven't taken the time to get to know us, and what we're about, I urge you to do so. We encourage anyone, from anywhere, looking for a guild and considering Unlimited to take the time to speak with us personally; don't miss the opportunity to be a part of something competitive, team (family) oriented, and dedicated to excellence in Guild Wars 2.by Published on 03-04-2012 11:05 AM
You may not know this, but Unlimited was created by random individuals with a shared vision of a guild that could approach competitive PvP with an edge that does not rely on the constraints of a guild designated formally as a "hardcore PvP". The success of our endeavor is clear through our members, who share that vision with us, and eagerly await Guild Wars 2.
This approach to creating a guild is one that we hope to utilize in the formation of an alliance; bring random guilds together that have a shared vision and common goals. Among these principles is the understanding that Guild Wars 2 brings a whole new perspective to competitive gaming; no longer is it the success of an individual guild that should be the focus of attention. Rather, the success of an entire server rests in the unity between those guilds and the members of the community.
Unlimited continues to follow its principles and seeks to create an alliance that will resonate positivity within its server community. We will not falter in our beliefs of what is important and ally with guilds because we believe their group will bring us success. We will not compromise our goals by allying with guilds with no purpose and no direction.
We hope that every guild out there is looking for allies, as this should be the way of guilds in Guild Wars 2. We believe that there are no individuals who will make or break a server. We believe that there are no "hero guilds" that will run servers and dominate the WvWvW scene. We know, that now is the time for everyone to begin their search and find guilds with similar values and join forces to help promote the server unity that is necessary for everyone's' success.
Perhaps Unlimited is the guild you've been looking for. We invite you to join us now, as a member among our ranks, or to help form this alliance through which we will make the server something to talk about, not our guilds something to talk about.
