'cause let's face it.  It's inevitable!

I'm planning on getting as many of my WoW-bound (Worlds of Warcraft) friends to get together and form a guild.  Alliance, or Horde?  Yes.

The guild name, of course, will be BigFire.  If this isn't allowable, then we may use something more subtle, such as the Order of Okibi (which, just so you know, means 'big fire').

Ten people are required to form a guild, and I can reliably depend on myself and two others that I know through meat-space interactions.  This isn't many, but I'm trying to limit it to friends to avoid traditional guild drama of having, shall we say, bad elements ruin the fun for everyone.

Now.  How many SR-types are interested in joining, or already have more backing for a guild that would accept me and two others?

It's probably a bit premature to suggest a serious charter, but I imagine it would be easy for us to get a website (snicker), a forum (chortle), and an IRC channel (guffaw!).

The general rules of the guild would be the common-sense laws we enjoy in all of our typical community forrays (SR, Refuge, #sr, #void, etc).

Be you man or orc enough to join?

Strike with great vengeance!

Oh, and I can probably find one other person, I thinks, a meatling who's I know.

Is World of Warcraft one of those MMORPGS where you actually need to constantly pay for the privelege?

If not, maybe!

Is WoW open beta now? o_O Or even released? Last time I was interested in it, it was still closed beta testing.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Sorry about the delay in replying -- WoW is in closed beta.  It's going to be released on the 16th of November, IIRC, so we expect the open beta to start at any time between next Monday and, um, November 15th.

Damnit.

I was in the stress test, but I need a fix!

Update -- the closed beta for WoW ends today.

Speculation is that the open beta will begin on Monday.  Further bulletins as events warrant.

The stress test is open now for people who have bought file planet subscriptions....

...since the game is scheduled to be released on the 22nd, I wouldn't race to get one, though.  Most likely (from what I can figure) the beta will open on next Friday or Monday to everyone.

Probably on Monday next week, to allow FilePlanet's paying customers to enjoy a full week of head-start over everyone else.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a power supply for my computer before then. -_-

I have a spare open beta account, if anyone wants it.

So anyway.  Um.  I will probably be playing predominantly alliance.  That is open to negotiation, and all, but I like the alliance better. :)

So anyway.
Can anyone who intends to get the game chime in here?

And, what kind of realm would we be playing on?

A normal realm?
An RP-tagged realm, where it's more about the game and large amounts of public ooc chatter are (heavily) discouraged?
A PVP realm, where it's Horde vs Alliance, and on for young and old?

I am currently playing the WoW Open Beta. I'm alliance, night elf, on test server 1. >_>

Of course, you guys know that the Alliance and the Horde are not meant to play TOGETHER, right?

I'll most likely be buying the game later on. :xp:

They're not *supposed* to, but it's not like some crack team of blizzard cops are going to be running around chasing people down who do.

I can see that conversation now.

Cop: "OMGWTFUDOING"
Guy: "WTFBBQ?"
Cop: "OMFG U NOOB"

>_>

WAAAAAAAAAGGGGEEEEE!

(I say the RP one; we're more likely to get guild members we'd actaully want to talk to, there. Of course, RP and MMORPG don't really go, but hey.)

I'd like RPing, if we've got an option.

Overwhelming support so far to the Alliance.

Okay, of the known signees, we've got:

Myself,
Rez,
C-Rat (?)
Wallace,
Mark,
Cy (?),
IY (?),
Xal (?)

We're going to need everyone on that list to sign up and still somehow get 2 more people to create a guild.  We also all have to log in at the same time.  Anyone know anyone else, or should we start looking for a guild that's already established that meets our needs?

Oh.  If anyone's after me on there . . .

My names are sorta easily findable, I didn't even try. :p  

'Relm' on test server 34 (Human Mage)
'Rezantis' on test server 10 (Human Paladin)

Obviously, we australians play on Pacific servers. ;p

Also, there doens't need to be a crack team of blizard cops.  You actually can't invite people from the other factions into a group, or even talk to 'em unless you learn a common language.  I ran into level 30-ish orc last night!

In Goldshire.

:)

And there is an option, some servers are tagged for certain things. ;p

EDIT NOTE: Oh, and I think I can supply at least one or two people in addition to that list.  Four candidates, anyway.
