I'm still a bit confused as to how those guilds work, and more importantly, how one chooses one: are there guilds that do not require you to be online at scheduled times? I have always with Cantr held the rule that computer games are fun, but real life takes precedence ... I would not want to say no to real life appointments, just because I need to be online for a game ;)

Guilds are all different, if you just like pve then you don't even need one

How far into it are you? :)


I'm almost a year into my hiatus after playing for 5 years or so. I was in a few guilds and still keep in contact with old guildees and buddies from the game. I was in a couple of raiding guilds that raided quite often however (obsessive individual that I am) and totally burnt myself out on the whole thing. I haven't given the pandas a second thought :P

There are different kinds of guilds. Some are geared for PvP, some for PvE, some are for leveling and some are just casual guilds. You probably want a casual one, if one at all (as Sunni says, you don't even need one- the dungeon finder helps with that). We could all start a Cantr one on some server and just sit around chatting all day.

There are raiding guilds that take it seriously and have schedules for when they run their raids. Some PvP guilds have schedules for when they go and do the PvP stuff (I'm not much of a PvP person, so I don't know much about PvP outside of battlegrounds and trying to hide while questing). If you want into the top guilds of those kinds, then they usually require logging in at those times and somewhat regularly.

The one I'm in is a raiding guild, but it's a casual raiding guild (I definitely don't get into much raiding- no time). It mostly just depends on how you want to play and what the people in that guild have accepted as their requirements.

The pandas are cute. You should see them, BC. ;)

I do understand getting burnt out, though.

My main desktop computer just died on me recently, and with no games on my little macbook, I noticed WOW can be played on macs!

I tried it once and it was ok... See how it goes this second time around.

I used to play on EU-Emerald Dream (pve), but some time ago I've moved my main to EU-The Maelstrom (pvp) to join a nice&friendly polish guild tha some of my co-workers are part of as well. (Actually I have learned about it when my in-work network malfunctioned when checking my armory and instead of myself I've seen them loged in. Closet gaming FTW XD ) I'll be probably moving the rest of my characters there soon, but not sooner than I level them up. After the first-week-of-expac-everybody-lvls-their-mains truce it's now getting a bit rough if you are not max lvl with flying yet. Fortunatelly the factions are balanced and there's always a guildie to avenge you, or even escort you for a bit, but still...

As for the new expac - the more I play it, the more I love it. The overall content is really high quality product, and the "pokemon" and "farmville" features are nice additions as well. And by adding the option to play as a red panda Blizz has bought my soul :D

PS: this is what I play wow on:
http://pl.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_10 ... ifications
with just 1GB RAM more added and pluged to a full-sized screen left from my previous pc.
Sure, it runs anywhere near smooth only on lowest setting possible, but it still runs, and I'm able to do random BGs, instances and LFRs. That's good enough for me :P
