Forums : Love the show!

My buddy showed me this website yesterday and I have to say I laughed my ass off and replayed your episodes just incase I missed something. It’s scary how realistic the show really is, and frankly it makes me look at what I do a little bit. lol

Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the next episode!

who doesn’t love it… One of my fav series on the net :D

Reminds me of how it REALLY is to be a girl playing wow…. it’s… scary.

For awhile I was playing City of Heroes (that Other Game that’s not WoW) and for the first few months I played a male character (a Tech Blaster with electrical powers) and that was fun, but then I came up with an idea for a Mystic Controller and the character concept lended itself to her being female. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I figured this is a ‘role playing game’ and so the gender should matter about as much as hair color. Power choices and game strategy were more important weren’t they? Man, how wrong I was.

First off, in real life everyone naturally assumes at first that if your game avatar is male, you’re male, and same for females. Frankly, I’m surprised that everyone in The Guild is pretty much who they say they are. There’s a whole line of comedy that’s not being tapped there. I guess maybe next ’season’ or ’series’ the writers will tackle the joys of gender bending in MMORPGs.

Secondly? When you’re a female, it’s a lot easier to get help, and people are just generally nicer to the women toons. Sometimes they even flirt. I had to quickly make up stories that I was gay or that I had a boyfriend. That didn’t really stop them from flirting tho. In extreme cases I had to just literally break character and send them a tell, "dude, I’m a guy." I hated doing that tho. It’s like having to PM them with, "dude, I don’t really have super powers. We didn’t really just take out that gang of bad guys. This is a game. There’s no Easter Bunny." et cetera.

Third, when your toon is female, people will start giving you stuff even and especially if you don’t ask for it. At first I’d try to give it back but that just made things worse and awkward so I got in the habit of just graciously accepting it and offering something in return if I had anything. I had guys just handing me enhancements without any prior conversation. We’d just be on the same team and during a slow point, they’d start trading stuff over to me. I’d be gracious and all that, in character of course, and they’d make it clear they didn’t want anything in return. I couldn’t understand it.

That never happened when I was playing my Blaster, but he wasn’t as cute as my Controller.

I really never understood the "role playing" part of a video game. Some of my friends totaly get into the story line and history of the game. Sorta cool I guess, but I’ll save the role playing for the "bow chica bow bow"…..

Great, more hatred towards RPers.

Lemme just clarify a few things about RPers in WoW.

1) Just because we RP doesn’t mean we’re crap at PvP. Where people have PvE gear and PvP gear, we have RP, PvP and PvE gear. Our love for roleplay does not hinder our combat potential.

2) We do not always speak in Old English. Heck, a guildmate of mine who is an English or Literature Major explained that what most percieve to be "Old English" really isn’t. We speak in the best way our characters can express themselves. And seriously, I’d rather read a "May I have a heal please, good sir." than a "Heal plz kkthx bai"

3) We are not uptight. We become that way when some non-RPer walks into a conversation/RP situation and kills the mood.

Honestly, I do get irritated when people come into an RP realm for stupid reasons like Economy, insults the community that the realm was created for and tells them "Get the f*ck out of my server!"

My guild is looking forward to more episodes of The Guild. :D We wish you the best of luck bringing WoW to the mainstream … okay, it’s already there. Good job! kek

This show is damn good. No matter what people say or think, it’s fun and sarcastic plus not very far away from reality for alot of people. Keep it going <3

That is just scary. And seriously I’m open for a lot but Roleplaying really scares me. Whats fun in that? I role play in real life and I play games in my spare time…

Don’t get me wrong I do respect it, I do. But damn I could never do that. And if you have to ask for a heal, then something is wrong in the first place. Also people in good guilds on pvp server really don’t talk with plx or whatever. Normal proper English but not all that Roleplaying stuff.

The most role playing I’ve done was playing Dungeons and Dragons we’d get in character sometimes (never went as far as dressing up though) Haven’t tried it in Wow but I don’t fault anyone who does it You pay your money you should enjoy how you play anyone that doesn’t like it is just a sad individual imo

I meant I made episode 1 video of the week!! LOL Type !!
