During Mists of Pandaria, I joined the Kor'Kron Legion RP-PvP guild on Moon Guard. You have to go to their guild website to fill out an application, and then you would be contacted for an IC (in character) interview. I remember being taken inside Grommash Hold and then pledging my allegiance to the Warchief.




After that, I became a bonafide member of the Kor'Kron, which was the largest Horde military RP guild at the time, led by High Warlord Skullcrusha (who actually had the title ingame). On the RP nights, we would line up in front of the barracks in the Valley of Honor as Skullcrusha announced the plans for the evening, and then we would march out to the campaign, be it a D&D esque event with a DM where we /roll 20 against imaginary enemies, or a fight against other RP guilds (usually the alliance).

Back then, there were multiple events being organized on the Moon Guard server subforum every week. For one such event, Skullcrusha rallied the Horde players in Orgrimmar and we headed out on campaign to the Arathi Highlands to fight a big battle against the Alliance, pushing towards the Thandol-Span.




Months into the long 5.4 patch, at some point the server community decided that the Siege of Orgrimmar had happened. So we Kor'Kron were captured. War crimes trials were held at the Mogu'Shan Vaults in front of hundreds of players from both factions. Kor'Kron characters were given the choice to either renounce Garrosh, or be executed. Many players choose death and were beheaded in front of all. With the advent of the truce, we stopped having interest and dramatic conflicts with the Alliance, and I wound up losing interest in showing up to /roll 20 against imaginary elementals and stuff, so I wish I had also gotten executed then.


==============

2023, I joined a new Horde RP guild that was a part of the Horde Vanguard. The Moon Guard RP server had been hosting a cross-faction campaign against the Primalists. The Primalists in our RP felt far more threatening and imposing than they did in Blizzard's content. In our campaign, the Primalists are such a threat that the Horde and Alliance mobilize their armies and fleets to the Dragon Isles.

Alliance on their ships.


We encounter turbulent seas and spot storm clouds as we approach the Dragon Isles. We receive word that the Primalists have launched a preemptive strike on our fleet. Lighting strikes down gunships with hundreds of soldiers on board. The coalition's forces break up into multiple groups to respond to the many different crises occurring simultaneously.

My character joins the D-day landing on the Waking Shores. We trudge inland through the mud under as a pitch black sky punctuated by lightning. We struggle to retain control over our frightened steeds. We stumble upon the dead bodies of our brothers. We become enshrouded in dense mists and can't see more than a few feet in front of us. An unnatural wind sucks the very air out of our throats. We are kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Frostbite is setting in on our extremities. A massive storm elemental that we can barely see through the wind and rain manifests before us. We are eviscerated by glass and sand and small rocks. The sheer hurricane force launches even heavy orcs and Tauren back, sending a trail through the mud. We turn around and run for our lives. Squadrons of gyrocopters are hurtling towards the earth and impact into the rocks all around us. A menacing voice booms like thunder through the mountains, mocking the spawn of the Titans...



DMs giving their mission briefings. The most memorable outting was the one where we had to stop a lava slime from advancing towards the encampment. Our weapons either sliced harmlessly through the slime or bounced off of it. People got captured by the slime and were being burned alive. Fun stuff.



Another Horde Vanguard RP event. This time we sailed to Silvermoon City, marched through Eversong Woods and the Plaguelands to defend Lordaeron from Rothide gnolls who were spreading disease and decay. The event where we went into the sewers and then nearly got drowned by a sewage elemental was the most fun.


A few months later, the 10th annual Tournament of Ages on Moon Guard was hosted. Event was pretty packed. I was getting 13 FPS inside the colosseum, and that wasn't even everyone there. There were more people unloaded outside. Outside the colosseum, you would walk 10 feet forward and then suddenly dozens of people would load in front of you.











The last event I was involved in before I unsubbed. Another cross faction campaign set in the Dragon Isles, which was a continuation of the Dragon Isles event from earlier that year. We were hunting an evil Primalist dragon who had escaped from the first event, only for him to acquire a magical artifact that corrupted him with the Void, and then he got killed flying over the Azure Span. He crashed, infesting the forest and making the Western half of the zone into a contaminated wasteland that had to be quarantined. Then the Rothide Gnolles that lived there got corrupted and wiped out the village of Iskaara too. We barely managed to halt the corruption from spreading further while another elite team infiltrated the forest and secured the artifact.

During FF14's Shadowbringers expansion, I was running levelling dungeon roulette to level an alt job when I landed in a very talkative group. Apparently the other players were in the same FC (Free Company = guild) and had queued together. They prodded me to talk and chat and shoot the breeze with them. At the end of the dungeon run, they invited me to join their FC. I decided "why not?" and joined. The chat was very talkative and would host gatherings and events and invited people to come, like hosting bingo nights at the FC house in Mist. The courtyard of the FC house became a popular AFK and login/logout spot. Eventually they decided to form a raid group (called a static), which I joined. Spent a lot of time dying and wiping with them while progging on the extreme difficulty raids and the savage trials, shooting the breeze over voice. Eventually people's schedules stopped lining up and we couldn't do it anymore.

There is also the Jade Turtles guild we RPGHQers had a couple years ago for Final Fantasy XI. Was a lot of fun. I wound up drawing my first ever attempt at digital art to celebrate, though I took too long and lost the motivation to finish the background.

my server had an infamous ERP guild(had a lot of members, not a small guild, regularly advertised in region chat) that got shutdown for roleplaying as minors having sex in guild chat, it made the news at the time

There was a weird small to medium-sized 9Dragons guild I was a part of which had a family playing together and the dad was the guildmaster. Weird to see that dynamic in play, and I remember a rather embarassing episode of family drama in the chat because he grounded his daughter (a guild member) and cut off her Internet access, but her mom was against it and they argued in the guild chat until the dad logged off and it was awkwaaaaaaaaard. Think there were other siblings but I only remember the daughter because of this episode. Details are foggy, it was many years ago. Thinking back on it, why didn't they argue offline? One of them might have been trying to assert dominance in front of the rest of the guild.

[Oyster Sauce]

They weren't actually a family. They were RPing like Second Life weirdos.

I don't know if that's more or less weird.

I was just a bystander, but at one point the creator of Imanewbie, a very popular UO webcomic of the day decided to change servers from wherever he was over to Pacific and join/endorse a fairly big and popular guild there. For people who don't know Pacific was the Baltimore of UO shards. The absolute scum of the earth from server line to server line inhabited this place. When this guy decided to make the big announcement, a bunch of griefer guilds declared war. I had a few friends in one of these guilds and sometimes I'd walk by in town and see them happily murdering some of the poor saps from this big guild.

About six months or so later Imanewbie said goodbye to the oh-so-lucky guild and the excitement came to an end.

EQ related antics: I decided to join up with an up-and-coming "raiding" guild on I think Maelin Starpyre. The problem was that this was one of those detestable family guilds that for whatever reason decided it wanted to start doing hardcore raiding. A few vets from some other guild joined up and started organizing the raids while picking up more people who were interested in the same. Family guilds want a club of people to group with, chat with, and play a nice, cozy game of EQ with. Raiders are rude, abrasive, and want one thing, loot. Naturally, the foul-mouthed, hot-tempered raiders ran up against easily offended wimps and women, but I repeat myself.

Things came to a head when one of the incompetent female players got a bunch of people killed for one reason or another I can't quite remember. Raid officers, not being forgiving of mistakes, chewed her out and she cried IRL and all the other typical women ****. Offended old timers started quitting, but not before posting five paragraph long "I'm leaving" blogs in guild chat. Even while this **** was going on all of us who wanted to raid were laying the ground-work for a new guild while planning our own final goodbyes (mostly telling them all to **** off and die). In the end their guild website was mysteriously hacked and we emptied out the guild vault...not that it had anything good in it.

I ran with the new guild for awhile and then got tired of playing again.

My GW2 guildmate told me a story about how he went to meet up with a couple from another guild. Not for any sexual reasons to my knowledge, but just to hang out. He had to take a 3 hour train ride. And when he got there the couple started to fight and it came to blows. So they're throwing hands and he's hiding out on the balcony and smoking nervously, waiting for them to chill out.
When I asked him why he did that, he said "I dunno. Just on a whim, I guess?"

I only played WoW for a couple months back when I was an early teen (maybe even a preteen). The details are fuzzy now, but I ended up grouping up with a stranger (a woman, I think) while leveling somewhere, and after a bit of chit chat she invited me to the guild she belonged to. I was happy to have made a friend and excited to join a guild, something which I had never done before. Not long after, having only just begun to use guild chat, for no reason I could discern, the guild leader mocked and then booted me. I was absolutely devastated. The pointless cruelty of it bewildered me.

I've since wondered whether I would now be able to identify some offense were I able to review the incident, but I wasn't savvy enough at the time to think of something like saving chat logs.

I was sponsored into the first high-end WoW guild I joined by a guy who was kicked out shortly after I joined for conducting an RL affair with our MT's wife (who was also playing with him, that was how my sponsor met her), causing her to divorce the MT and run off with my erstwhile friend. I was a tank at the time. I was allowed to stay but that made tanking coordination awkward for me I can tell you.

Couples playing together in-game have generally been a disaster unless they only play with each other and aren't a major part of guild play, in my experience. I can think of exactly one exception to the rule, a very nice couple who I was friends with in EQ. They were libtards of course, but the soft fluffy completely inoffensive kind.

[Tweed]

Never, ever play with couples. The minute you find out that it's a couple, bail. I say that even having grouped with one couple that was completely smooth and the female even knew how to play her class and everything.

Of course, that's one couple out of dozens I saw and dealt with. All of them are ticking drama bombs waiting to go off.

He was into the woman who invited you and kicked you for interacting with her often as the only person you knew in the guild, I would put good money on it.

Not exactly guild drama, but I was invited to come back to UO by an old friend who offered me a spot in the guild he was in, which was a pretty big guild. Big guilds in UO usually have nice benefits. Anyway I fired up my subscription and came back, new character, running the skillgrind day after day. I couldn't find my friend, couldn't get in touch with him in any way, but I was having a good time so I kept on playing. I met up with some decent people and got invited to their guild instead. Said yes, had some drama harassing people with thick skin, laughed at the pussies in our guild when we went to Felucca during a player ran event, it's amazing how terrified players really are of PKers. Hit 7xGM, nice gear, generally respected, became an officer of the guild, got a few skill cap boosting scrolls (gud stuff). Get my own house, a nice place by the sea on one of the islands near Moonglow, basically everything I could have asked for.

One day I'm banking in Moonglow when at last, I see my friend, a year or so after the fact. Asks me where I've been and tells me he's quitting the game soon.

********.

The only couple in my guild were a good Chinesey rogue/boomkin combo. Guess which was which.

Trick question, Chinese are not sexually dimorphic.

Standard female behaviour. Air dirty laundry and appeal to authority / other people, to try and utilise simps / other females as allies to support her argument (even when wrong).

Woman on boomkin, final answer
(I never played wow but I googled it and women like fluffy animals)
