Nerd Drama

Most of you guys know that I play this game – World of Warcraft.  It should basically be called “World of Kiss your life goodbye and sell your belongings because you’ll never stop playing this game ever craft”  It’s basically crack in digital form.  You play with people from around the world and kill dragons and crap.  The fun comes in working with anywhere from 5 to 40 other people to accomplish things you couldn’t do on your own.  So you join a guild – just a fancy name for a team that plays together.   I’ve been part of my guild for about a year and a half now.  Lately though the people I play with have been not so much fun to play with anymore.  I’ve developed some really neat relationships in the guild but I think it’s time for me to move on to a place where I actually have fun when I play (which hasn’t been happening).

So I’ve decided to apply to a new guild at the suggestion of my friend Paul.  We’ll see what happens but it’s actually kind of fun trying to apply to this new guild while not letting the old guild find out so they don’t kick me out.  Applying to a guild is like a job interview.  You submit your application to the guild, the leaders discuss it, sometimes they talk to you in game and ask that you run something with them.  It’s kind of funny when I think about how nerdy it is.  But hopefully by week’s end I’ll have an answer and Diedrich (Level 70 Dwarf Warrior) will have a new home!

Please don’t make fun of me to my face…
