The Expedition [XP] is a small, casual online gaming community formed within the original Guild Wars in August 2009 designed for individuals who like to relax and enjoy their gaming, playing at their own pace, seeking out their own personal goals, and exploring all experiences that our games have to offer. [XP] follows the "Explorer" mentality of taking risks and embracing challenge in order to experience the entirety of the games we play. Sometimes the journey, the adventure in RPG PvE content, the friendly sportsmanship in PVP games, the fun of testing or experimenting subtle game elements, or even the joy of running around aimlessly taking screenshots, is worth more than the achievements in the end. [XP] members enjoy rewards, but they value the experience more, and who we share these experiences with is more important than what we are playing.

Our community is a PvX guild for Guild Wars, where all adventurers are willing and able to do both PvE and PvP. Guild Wars is designed around accessibility, being able to pick up the game and play it in the style you want, whether solo or in a group. People have various play styles, capabilities, and spurts of casual and hardcore gaming; therefore, [XP] only requires that members be sufficient gamers that don't drag the team down, both in gameplay and morale. Critical thinking, upbeat attitudes, flexibility, and patience are key traits of our strongest teammates.

The community is focused around its people, not their avatars, and keep in touch mainly though forums, ventrilo, and in-game chat. We often game daily, but prioritize real life responsibilities over gaming, hence our 'casual' status. We are a social group of gamers that are not only experienced in gaming but are also self-sustainable, able to support and entertain themselves in any situation with whatever resources are available. We understand there may be times where we may need or want to venture alone, but we often welcome fellow adventurers anytime on each of our journeys.

Guild Wars 2

The goal for [XP] in Guild Wars 2 is to continue this social community that the members have built in this new title -- sharing the tales of their explorations, their discoveries, and the “Oh my! Guess what just happened…” surprises they come upon with each other via team chat, vent, and forums.

[XP] is located Gates of Madness server in GW2!
