I was the class leader of the Shamans, so I would be given orders over Vent, and bark orders to my "troops" over vent in turn. Everything would be done with precision. If you make a mistake, you were basically dishonorably discharged. Raiding spots were competitive. If you went out for a drink with some friends one Friday night, guess what? Your spot may be gone for good when you get back. Ugh, so many horrible memories among the good ones... |
That's the way any successful guild in that game runs. I know a few people who got into the game pretty hard, though I was always more casual.
I signed off for the last time over a year ago and haven't looked back. MMOs are time sinks that can ruin someone's life if they have an addictive personality. Luckily, while I have an addictive personality, it doesn't translate to video games. I'm pretty good about logging off when I need to, though SWG and WoW pushed my limits at times (all-night sessions 'til 6am when I needed to be at work at 8 or 9 that morning, skipping work to play, etc.).
Meh, I won't touch MMOs anymore. I think there's too much harm for the fun they bring me.
