Joined Wessex last month, migrated here from MO, and haven't regretted since. A lot of friendly and ambitious chaps from all walks of life. Can't wait for the release date so we can get some actual work done.
I too have only been with Wessex a few months (4 now) and have found them also to be a friendly group. Yes, RP is a part of our Guild life but it is not required.
Andar, I will give you a list of what is needed most.
Seriously though, these are truly a great bunch of people that have been gaming for many years as a guild. They work as a team and not just as a bunch of individuals on their own agenda.
