WoW Chix

**NOTE: This post may be a little hard to follow since my mind is going 20 miles a minute and my fingers can barely type fast enough to keep up!**

… And the new GM is me. Most of the players (all the higher levels) decided to re-roll on another server because "the economy sucks and there are too many kids playing on this server!" Um… guys what guys? There are kids on EVERY server. There are going to be children (or even adults in their twenties-thirties) that are going to harass you, beg you for shit, harass you some more, ask you to help them to quest even though you’re level 70 and they’re level 5… you can’t get away from this. You cannot escape the stupid people and you can’t get away from a fluctuating economy. Ghostlands is a newer server. It’s going to be a while before it reaches any form of "normal" so your best bet is just to sit back and relax and enjoy the game. I was talking to a guildie about all this. She and her husband play together and have made a few toons and share a lot of the same views as I do on the game. I’m basically gonna say everything I said to her Tuesday night. A guild master is only as strong as it’s lowest level-noob player.

A guild master is nothing with his or her guildies. The guild members MAKE the guild. So all these guild masters who treat their guildies like crap can go suck a nut. I’ve been in a lot of guilds in my (almost) 4 years of playing. And I’ve met a lot of GM’s that think they poop marshmallows and pee sweet tea and that the world revolves around them. It was all about loot for them… and power I suppose. "We have to be top guild!" and all that crap. *rolls eyes* They decide to treat their guildies like shit, treat them unfairly and such… they had rude awakenings when they found themselves with no guildies left to raid with because they all left for other guilds. Then when they didn’t have enough people to raid with, whined and begged people to come back because they couldn’t get anymore epic lootz yo! Kiss them bye bye, boo hoo, whatever.

I don’t want to be one of those guild masters. When I had my guild over on Turalyon, it was awesome. We all enjoyed playing with each other (heh.. hehe… that sounded dirty *giggles*) and we had fun doing 5 mans. We all completed each other rather well in instances. But when it came time for Kara, we just couldn’t get it going. All of our schedules were out of whack and we just couldn’t get the right classes on at the right time, so we disbanded and joined other guilds. I loved being guild master of that guild. I miss it a lot. We had a lot of fun.

With this guild, I’d like to be in Kara by the end of the month. That’s a reasonable goal. I’m not in a huge rush to get to 25 man content. We’ll get there when we’re ready. But until then getting everyone keyed and ready for Kara is my focus… but I want to enjoy the ride. So many people just rush to 70 and the game becomes almost like a job to them. They spend so much time worrying about gear and money and mounts and whatever the hell else. Yes the game is about that stuff… but that’s not ALL it’s about. I don’t want to play a game that seems like work. Quite honestly a lot of the people I talk to in raiding guilds, like the hardcore guilds, they make it sound so shitty to be there. It’s nothing but having their GM yell at them about "getting geared, killing this boss, better gear, grind this rep, more gear, grind this much money for the guild and blah blah blah" I can’t take that shit.

I pay $15 month just like everyone else… I’m going to play how I want to play, not how someone else wants me to. I take my time leveling my toons. I’m in no rush to get to 70 on my lock. Yeah it’ll be great once I get there. But I enjoy doing the quests, reading the story line and crafting and meeting new people and talking time to talk to them. I’m addicted to making alts because I enjoy the leveling aspect of the game the most. So many people just speed to 70 and don’t enjoy the ride. I’m one of those people that do the grey quests because they want to do every quest they can. I get so far ahead of myself in XP I end up with green and grey quests and so many people say, "Oh just skip them, it’s not worth it." Well, it is to me. Rob tells me, "It’s a waste of time to run around turning in certain quests because you do more central quests and get quicker XP." I like running from one continent to the other to turn something in. This part is gonna make me sound like a total geek… but I kind of like role playing with WoW. Not as most RP’ers do, though. I like thinking of myself as a message carrier that could get totally ripped apart by hiyenas taking a package from Crossroads to Ratchet. *shrug* I don’t think like that all the time. But sometimes it’s fun. It’s a game. And this game to me, helps me keep my imagination in good shape =) Sounds totally retarded to most of you I’m sure *sigh* Blah.

Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. I just need to end the post now lol. Bottom line, I’m gonna keep the guild going at a casual pace and we’ll take it a step at a time until we get to where we all want to be as a guild… working together, not against each other. Good night, y’all.

P.s. Right now, I’ve got Amedeah in the que for transfer. Apparently they are having issues with transferring toons to other server *sigh* So it might be a little while before I have her. Let’s hope it’s not too long of a wait.
