[QUOTE=wonderlust] Here’s hoping there’s no mass exodus now. I hope you’ll be back later, Palooka. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I’m cool now. I played some Team Fortress and now I’m fine. Sort of ragequit’d after some stuff and made my post in haste. **Jragon** is going to take over, since he volunteered a few days ago (the fool!). ---

I just found this thread. Awesome! I will be rolling a horde character tonight. I have always wanted to play a healing class, so maybe a priest of some sort… ---

Just FYI - IME on new servers you always have the abundance of inconsiderates running around. the key is to hang in there because they will be weeded out - it just takes a few. Ignore button is your friend, guildies are your partners in crime 😉 ---

By popular demand, the song my Troll Hunter (OomBipBipYah) is named after: [Seven & Seven Is](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEC4LWbI1VU) via You Tube. Gotta dig the surf guitar and rhythms! I think my Hunter will name her pet “Wooly Bully”. I don’t know who originally did it in the 60s. It’s hard to look up because everyone spells the refrain differently. Lyrics for the psychotics among you: \*When I was a boy I thought that someday I would be a man I’d sit beside the fireplace Pretending I was in a can Go inside my room And put my mind in an ice cream cone And you can throw me if you wanna I’m a ball, and I go Ooh bip bip, ooh bip bip yeah! Now if I don’t start cryin’ It’s because that I have got no eyes My heart lies in the fireplace My dog lies hypnotized And then there was the time I wasn’t able to find my way And I’m trapped inside a night But I’m a day, and I go Ooh bip bip, ooh bip bip yeah (Ad lib) Now when I was a boy I thought that someday I would be a man I’d sit beside the fireplace Pretending I was in a can Go inside my room And put my mind in an ice cream cone Now you can throw me if you want 'Cause I’m a ball, and I go Ooh bip bip,ooh bip bip yeah (Ad lib) Ooh bip bip, ooh bip bip yeah\* ---

I guess it was Love, with Arthur Lee that did it originally…before someone corrects me. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] How the uck do I join a guild? [/QUOTE] If you /join SDMB when you first log in, and then chat on that channel for a guild invite, anyone on that channel will see the request. Since we all have invite privileges, you should get one almost immediately. If you don’t, just wait a few and ask again. Occasionally we will miss that channel in the scroll, but that doesn’t happen too often. Also, I know everybody’s probably very poor right now, but if we all drop a couple of silver into the guild bank now and again, it will add up pretty quickly and we’ll be that much closer to getting the first tab. ---

And wouldn’t ya know, just when I’m ready to get on and ask for a guild invite, my WoW comes up corrupted? I’m redownloading the client now…my CDs, for some reason, haven’t ever worked beyond the first few times. I’ll be on eventually…pinkie swear! ---

There’s nothing in a tabard that makes your guild legit or makes you a legit guildmember. They’re just for show. As long as the guild is a legitimately chartered guild that’s recognized by the servers, guildmembers should be able to use the Guild Vault. ---

Gah…disregard that. I thought you meant “tabard”…never even thought of the tabs in the Guild Vault. I’m not sure, actually, if that’s possible. Money doesn’t go in a slot, so it’s uncertain… ---

Okay… I did mean “tab” in terms of slots in the bank, not a tabard. But since I was at the bank anyway, I clicked on the guild vault to see what came up. There are no slots to place items, of course - I think we need 100G for that. But indeed you can make a monetary contribution to our guild balance. Some of you already know this because there are a few G’s in there already. I tossed in what change I could spare at the time. Did any of us do RFC this weekend, as advertised? If so I must have missed it. ---

I’m really enjoying the _feel_ of the server at the moment, it’s enjoyable that most people are around the same level, that we’re ALL starting out together. Though it was a crazy experience trying to level past five as a blood elf - blood elves here, blood elves there, blood elves everywhere! One thing I’ve done is group with people at important spots - when you need to get someone’s head it’s better to just join up for a second than waiting as all five of you try to kill him only to have a last minute arrival ninja it anyway. The only negative has been the general chat - but maybe this is just because lately I’ve been in the blood elf zones. Maybe it’s better near Taurens or Trolls or Orcs. (I’d say undead as well, but half the people I run into in the Ghostlands are undead) 😉 And maybe it’s just me, but I’ve noticed more mining nodes/flowers popping than on other servers - maybe it’s the number of people playing that affects this? It’s been heaven for leveling mining though and My holy Pallie loved it! Ah - I had two green cloth items I had wanted to donate to the guild for a low teen caster. If the bank won’t work, I’ll try offering in guild chat. 🙂 ---

One thing to keep in mind is that this does improve as you move out from the newbie zones, as the kool kiddies drop off from boredom, dilettantism, altitis, etc. ---

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the guild bank (it just came out in patch 2.3, so it’s a fairly recent additon), the quick explanation is that it gives us a collective place to store money and items we want to make available to other guild members, such as the greens **Lady of the Lake** mentioned. Unfortunately, unlike the regular bank, there is no automatic free storage space in the guild bank, and we have to raise 100g to buy the first “tab,” which has 98 slots for us to fill with itemy goodness. [WoWWiki](http://www.wowwiki.com/Guild_bank) has a breakdown of all the features, if you want to explore in depth. I’d like to get the tab set up as soon as we can. So far we’ve just been using guild chat, but that’s limited to whoever happens to hear the offer, and it would be a lot easier to distribute the mats and greens we’re accumulating via the guild bank. It also helps if you list your professions in your guild note, because then we can look there and see that Soandso has tailoring, and might therefore have a use for those umpteen stacks of linen we’ve collected. ---

I just rolled **Linai** , a blood elf hunter, and got her up to level 5. I’ll be asking for an invite next time I play–probably tonight. What times do you guys usually play? I’m only on this early because I’m home sick today–normally, it would be evenings and weekends.
