So Long and Thanks for All the Cursing - An Ode to My Guild
happily in both guilds we both
had feelings of being the “odd
one out” at times. After we
decided we wanted more to do,
a decision was made that we
I was welcomed in what I recall
was a comedy manner and
introduced around. The guild was
a random bunch of people with
little in common but the desire
"I spammed a few guilds
who had cool names
and soon got an invite."
would move to a place where
we were both on equal terms.
At this point we joined ALL OF
THE GUILDS. We had a guild
where no one ever spoke, a guild
which was dead and another
where we found all of the creepy
people. We even had a guild
which disbanded every week.
You would sign in and discover
yourself guildless then suddenly
one of your ex-guildies would
throw you a whisper or an invite.
I think this happened 3 times in
4 weeks before we gave up.
to have a laugh and do some
gaming. There were couples who
played together, parents, singles
and a nice mixture of genders
and ages. After just 3 days I was
decided that this was my home.
This guild just felt right. I told my
brother (who had been offline)
and he was pleased. He said
his guild was nice as well, also
small, so maybe we could grab
people from his guild and mine
when we wanted to run bigger
content. Then he logged into the
game... of course his guild and
mine were the very same. I didn’t
leave though as my feet were too
far under the table at this point!
It is now 2 years later and I am still
sat in the same guild, although no
longer on the same realm. I have
been thinking recently about just
why I have stuck with this guild
and these people for so long,
through dramas and disasters. I
even shelled out a considerable
chunk of cash to follow them
to a new server. It is because of
who they are and what we do
together.
After a move to my brother’s
realm I decided to hit up the
guild finder again. The idea
was that myself and the hubby
would find our own guild but
could also run around with my
brother and his partner when
we wanted. I spammed a few
guilds who had cool names and
soon got an invite.
