HI FireAEMT,
First, thank you for doing what you do. Second, I invite you to check out our guild - Way of the Ancients. There is a thread a little down from this one posted by Nexran that gives a little more idea what we're all about. Essentially, we are a newer guild looking to build something together, and enjoy playing the game while doing so! New players are definitely welcome, and we all do our best to help out with leveling, gearing, questing, or just enjoying all that the game has to offer.
If this sounds like something you may be interested in, feel free to reply here or send a message to my forum account. In game, you can find me on Sarna Krynn Erso, Janel Erso, or Ganic Erso on the republic side of things.
Good luck finding a home and thanks again for all that you do in RL.
