About a week ago the officers of Alt Factory, a guild I had been with for several years, decided (for reasons that are opaque to me) to kick out a large portion of the guild members (from the guild, our FB page, our guild site and Lj so we can't even communicate at all). They cited "inactivity" but since I was on a guild toon pretty much daily and ( Read more... )

Hi Everyone,

Ok I am having a dilemma and appologise now for the wall of text.

The Past Alliance
I used to be a guild leader for 2 years of a guild I created for my fiancé (he is quite shy and didn’t want to find a guild when we had just started playing).
For about a year and a half everything was going generally very good and drama free we were all ( Read more... )

I've seen it happen so many times I can't count - people killing the new hunter challenge rare pets as they're being tamed and I've ticketed many times ( Read more... )

Hi!
So!
I dunno, this is maybe kind of a dumb thing to do a post on. But like. I'm sort of wondering if I'm going about life on the internet (and maybe just life in general) the wrong way.

Hello, Ladies and Gents! I have a question for ya'll concerning RP, just to see where people stand on this kind of thing. I admit, I do have a small rant that accompanies it, but you don't have to read it~ I understand!

Because you ladies (and gents) are so patient and helpful here is another newbie pally healer question.

I went in to Scholomancer for the first time ever, including Vanilla WoW, yesterday.  The first attempt was a major disaster and source of angst, but I'll save you all from that.  Will rant at leisure in my own journal if interested.

Alright, so here's my situation. My guild on Steamwheedle Cartel (A) is in a pretty bad place right now. I logged on yesterday morning to read the guild MOTD which said: "Because of the state of the membership, we are no longer raiding." It hit me like a ton of bricks. I asked myself "What possible drama could have happened last night that caused ( Read more... )

This week something happened to me that re-affirmed my faith in gamers. It's funny, because the situation leading up to it was anything but enjoyable. After raid night on Thursday, I joined a group on my server trying to get the heroic achievement for Vanessa VanCleef.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Geek Fallacies. This article gave me a lot to think about and explained a lot of the social dynamics of my groups of friends. It occurs to me that these are also things that might be at the root of a fair number of WoW guild/raid/friend issues, so I thought I'd post here.
