A Yes from me as well, but a general Region forum would be nice as well,
For example i posted that i am looking for a guild not on a particular server/shard but on any server/shard in the Europe region.
I had to post it in the "New Player Help" forum and that makes no sense since people wanting to recruit will prob not pick up on my thread.......
