a guild of their own

by Otaku Kun on July 17, 2010

It’s amazing how many people I know who play World of Warcraft. Even Shamus is getting sucked back in :)

I was thinking aloud a while back about how I’d love to start a guild named for Haibane Renmei. Most of my toons are Alliance, so I think a Horde guild would be fresher, and I have one alt on Staghelm I’d be willing to move to just about anywhere. The question is, is anyone else interested? The focus would be to stock a bank for leveling alts and grouping for end-game raids.

The main question is what server is would be, ideally a PvE server in CST to make it maximally convenient for everyone to be online roughly at the same time. I’d welcome suggestions as to what server we should pick. How many of you would be willing to bring a Horde toon or start a new one if we got this rolling? chime in on comments…

(as far as Cata content goes, like everyone else I am itching to play a Worgen, but for my Alliance toons I am content to stay on Staghelm as that’s where a lot of my friends are.)

UPDATE: We are officially Haibane Renmei on Blackhand! Here is the official Guild page.

Yes, because Man can’t actually create anything in the primal sense. He can think it up, and make up some rules, but there is no such thing as a world, simulated or not, that is outside divine control. A war–or even an extended power outage, or a mass outbreak of disinterest–in the US would wipe Azeroth out of existence forever. It’s not independent.

And Tolkien never suggested you could dodge God through fiction. Quite the opposite. By subcreation he simply means a story that requires no external reference point to understand. Ie, one with no literary allusion that requires you to have read other books in order to understand this book. But the point of subcreation in his own work–as well as Lewis’s–was to prove that you could create a *Christian* ethos without reference to the Gospels. God is very much in charge of both Middle Earth and Narnia, and designedly so.

Its a conspiracy, I tell you. First my PC has boot issues, now this?

All realms originally scheduled to be live at 7:00 AM PDT are currently undergoing additional authentication maintenance. As this maintenance affects the authentication process which occurs during log in to Battle.net, access to Battle.net Account Management and forum posting may be unavailable at this time.

We anticipate that maintenance will complete and these realms will be live and playable by approximately 1:00 PM PDT. We apologize for the delay and are working to have all realms and website services online as soon as possible.

um, originally scheduled for 7am and now delayed to 1pm? thats airline territory.

We will be extending this maintenance until 2:00PM PDT.

Now it seems 3pm… I wonder what’s happening to their systems there?

Willow July 20, 2010 at 4:57 pm

We broke WoW. o.O

Is there a patch coming out this week or is this just regular maintenance?

Dawood July 20, 2010 at 5:05 pm

I’m not sure, it seems to be connected to authentication and the like for us, as our selected server wasn’t on the list of those going down for expansions. Maybe it’s all the scammers and hackers who broke WoW? :P

Dawood July 20, 2010 at 5:30 pm

We’re back in action… I started a Tauren Druid called Dawood on the server.

Does anyone still have any toons on Staghelm they are planning to transfer? I have around 18g on my new toon there that I made in the last few days – there is no point in me transferring him over, but the gold could be useful!

Willow July 21, 2010 at 10:42 am

DITTO if anybody’s still got Staghelm toons they’re planning to transfer please speak up. I foolishly failed to send my bank alt’s gold/stuff with my main, and I don’t want to pay $25 to transfer a bank alt.
