If we pick a PvE server... I'm totally there.

Made a post in the "Just for us" Forum covering server details for anyone who wants to meet up. Going to work on starting a guild once I get a couple name suggestions, or think of something.

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

I let my WoW acount die last year.

*cry* I understand, but it still sucks to lose a polite/awesome/whatever player. So few of those around nowadays.

I must check out this wow thing.  ;D
I warn you, it can be VERY addictive. Seriously. People lose their lives over this game.
You also have to pay for a subscription to play online.

omg all the WoW players!

If you folks are interested and politically liberal-leaning, I'm a founding member/raid leader of a guild that came out of http://www.dailykos.com/; we're fairly large and diverse, with a very big GLB component, one out trans woman, and me  as a partially out trans guy. Here's our most recent recruitment thread:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/4/29/124259/634
and our Wowstead site:
http://wrecklist.wowstead.com/forums
(because I'm only partially out due to still working things out with my husband, I don't talk about my status in gchat, but basically everyone knows and is supportive and some are beginning to get the pronouns right. If you introduced yourself as male from the beginning you'd get consistent respect for that, and there's zero tolerance for transphobia/homophobia. I'll personally gkick bigots.)

The other place I can suggest is Proudmoore. Taint and its many child-guilds are the gayborhood of WoW.

This is not a joke I am serious...If you have an adictive personality DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
You will be playing 30 hour grinds to prepare for a 20 man raid. When the raid happens fully 1/5 of the group will be AFK at any given moment. You will spend hundreds in hard farmed gold to repair second rate equipment just so you can beg to god that this raid will be the one when you get your item you are questing for. And if it does drop you need to worry about the lootmaster screwing you over and asigning your stuff to his hunter friend.

just sayin'

This is why you join my guild, where I am (often) the raid leader and (almost always) the loot master, and that stuff doesn't fly :) Also, we have guild-funded repairs.

To me, it's just not worth it to keep paying for a video game...  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE video games, but I'm just not cool with paying for a subscription or a membership.  So the only MMORPG I ever play is... (go ahead and laugh, but I love this game) Runescape. ;D

I figure it's this way, in our household at least. We won't pay for cable. We can't agree on what movies to see. We can't agree on any other activity to do together. My man is exhausted when he comes home from work. Paying 30 dollars a month for two accounts is our entertainment budget. It provides us something to do as a couple.

I agree. If you have even the slightest hint of an addictive personality, it's not the best game choice. You'll get sucked in. Next thing you know you'll be grinding rep for a title and you won't even know where the week went.

Goth: Everyone starts somewhere, and I'm betting even the most full of themselves players were great big noobs when they started. I really wish there was some sort of "new player" tag you could access through a dropdown or something. A self applied sort of thing like one of those name tags when you first start at min wage name tag type jobs.

Yep, such a runescape addict. It's the lame version of WoW but it serves it's purpose. I am a man. I flirt with girls as a guy. And I am productive, unlike when my disphoria's bad in real life, because I actually have the body and identity I want. It's for us cheap-os

A newbie nametag would have come in handy my first deadmines run.
