Guilds: What's in it for me?

Is World of Warcraft the New Golf?

news tidbit dated 12/19/05:
As the competition scrambles to catch up, Blizzard continues to pull ahead of the pack; World of Warcraft's worldwide expansion has lead to now more than five million customers joining the online adventure. And that doesn't include free subscriptions, expired subscriptions, etc. - these are active, used accounts.

Just News and Info

Got my alt stuck between a rock and a hard place while running back to my corpse. Brudie suggested the Help button (?) on the toolbar. There I found the option to click on: STUCK. This offered a hearth solution, but I'm dead and as we all know, the dead cannot hearth. In fact, they can't do much.

So, there is, at the STUCK window, the option to send an in-game message to a supposedy in-game game master who can help. Well, it's been close to an hour and no one has come for me. I feel so ... alone.

Also of note:

Twinkleheal DING'd to 39.
Eddiva and Perrenelle are closing in on the upside of 20.
Redbaine is MIA and dropping like a rock from our consciousness.
My husband decided if he couldn't beat 'em, he'd join 'em and is now a lvl 7 elf named Clivenar. Feel free to harrass him.

...and...I am now playing on my MacBook Pro, and let me tell you the graphics are mindblowing...and the lag nonexistent.

the night elf emerges

The social night elf..

First of all, I want to warn everyone, I have never been a gamer. With this being said, I feel that my voice is important in this blog because of that very fact. My frame of reference is very limited, but open to new ideas and horizons. I started out level 1 as a timid, confused night elf. I am now a level 26 night elf, not as confused, still wandering a little aimlessly but enjoying it more. I have determined I play more for the social aspect than anything else. YES, I like leveling and YES I like questing, but most importantly, I prefer to do that with people than without. If I log in and see no one is playing, I usually will log directly back out and email people to see when we can all play.

NEKKID GNOME RUN:

A few weeks ago there was a Friday night meet to run naked from the gnome starting point to another location.. no weapons, no clothes and VERY short characters. I would venture to say there were about 15-20 people that joined in on the fun, and it was! We created a RAID channel and GUILD called . We all started out together, and were running along happily when we slowly were killed off. We had one hour to complete the mission and I was far from the winner, but had a great time with the guild chatting and cracking jokes. A great way to meet others and interact with new people from a different server (Ice Crown).






More.. very soon
