Guild Life

Last night, Feifer and Skrah headed to the Hinterlands to kill some stuff, level up a bit, and generally explore. In the game, new areas are a kind of treat worth reveling in a bit. While we were at it, we ran into the confirmed couple we sometimes play with. They're both a bit above our level now, so after some chit-chat over dead spiders, we went our separate ways.

One of the amazing things about Feifer as a player is what an efficient multi-chatter she is. Our current guild, Sinister Legion, has turned into a pretty nice community of peeps, and Feifer is often chatting in the guild, whispering with random others, keeping present in the party, and killin stuff. Multi-chatterboxing is fun, and funny when it means you're in the middle of a mob and talking about (two nights ago) ball rot or (last night) a guildie's birthday.

There's plenty of skepticism about online communities, and I think the whole of a WOW server is not much of a community (though it has some of those features). Guilds, on the other hand, can be super tight, full of sharing, generosity, and support. It's rare that a day goes by when Skrah isn't asked to tank something (these days mainly Sunken Temple), and there is always supporting and informative chatter about leveling, professions, and various kinds of weapons/armor.

Which reminds me: still looking for a few more pieces of Imperial Plate armor to fill out that armor set. Though Skrah won't look quite like this, the general gist of the armor set it like this: old school knight action.
