However, the other day, I logged on and saw the words in green "Twinkleheal has left the guild" .. eek! Twink left the guild, and my heart sank. WHY? Why on earth would my heart sink to see a person that I chat with on AIM, and see IRL, cause me to feel that when the leave a guild in a GAME? I suppose I realized out of the crew, I am the last one, not so much the survivor, but more the lost one. I haven't explored the option of a new guild yet, but I plan on it very soon. Being a level 40 isn't much of an enticing option for a guild, so I may have to stick it out for awhile.
This time around, I am looking for something more. I want the sense of community, a group that wants to run raids, shares good chat and values each member. I am past having the notoriety of being in a guild with clout; I want to find the community. The past several months I have been questing alone, with the occasional quest from Navarre or Via, but usually alone. I determined months ago, I play WoW for the social interaction, and I am not getting that these days.
On the WoW website discussing guilds it says, "Guilds offer many benefits including free items, opportunities for groups, access to trade skill masters, quest items, and readily available trade skill ingredients through gathering guild members. You may discover that a guild greatly enhances your gameplay experience. You can meet friends, share adventures, and find people to protect you if you fight in faction versus faction combat. Typically, players in good guilds can go places and do things that players in poor guilds or no guild can't." WoW Guild Info
This could be the main reason I rarely am on anymore, because no one is online to quest with. So, on July 4th, I watched fireworks in Booty Bay .. all alone :(
I say this alot . . . I don't "like" most folks. It isn't that they aren't worthy, but I'm insular. Yet, those who pass the 'like' test are moved instantly to 'love'.
ReplyDeleteI don't have words to express what the Twinks and the Hollys and yes . . . even the damned Hallgrimas of the world mean to me. I'm just a loyal guy to those who I make a choice to be loyal to . . . and I am loyal to my core.
I may not remember the first time I daughter, but I remember the first moment I became aware of her. I was sitting on a couch in Boston. She was sitting next to me. Like most in the cadre, I had barely paid attention to her.
She sat VERY close to me. As is my nature, I moved away. She wasn't detered . . she moved with me. There we are . . . sitting hip to hip and I barely know her name. It wasn't sexual. It wasn't forced. It was, in my regard, just a kinship she recognized before I did.
She calls me 'ma'. I call her 'daughter'. It's a convention that means something to us. I feel warm and cuddly when she does it. If feel honored she allows me to do it.
As Twink said in a previous post . . . our levels seperate us in odd ways. Tonight, I am feeling guilty for having not helped her more in WOW. My 'daughter' deserved more of my time.
She speaks of lonelyness. I understand that as someone who engages the game socailly. Can't recall the number of times I have died [and others] while I was texting some message.
I don't want her to feel that way.
Hollis, say the word and you'll be invited to Crimson where Twink and Hallgrima and even myself hang our hats. There is room for you here . . . there really is.
It is different. It might not be what you are looking for. Maybe what you really want is Knights of Illuminati. I can arrange that. Whatever it is . . I'll bve looking for you more often. I want to be part of your gaming experience and am sorry I've been preoccupied.
Of course, the same goes to the rest . . . the "Boss", the "Mayor", the "DoubleE" as goes for the "Daughter". We are community and we are family [pauses for those who want to feign a retch] . . . and we have obligation to each other . . . not just to the moment of adventuring, but to bring us all alnog to the end game.
Daughter, call on me next time you are on. I will do the same.

Dudette! I was in Booty Bay watching the fireworks too!!!! As was Akmalla (Sarah). If we'd known you were there... we were perched atop the gyphon house.
