Drama-free guild. How many times have I seen this in recruiting posts? Is such a thing possible? Are people even using the word correctly? I have to assume that when people speak of a guild as being drama free, they’re referring to the third definition here: “a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting [...]

No More Drama in my Life

Backlog cleared…

I’ve cleared out all of the old articles I wrote but never published. The goal from here on in is to do 2-3 articles a week consistently. If you want to keep up, follow the blog on twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed. Cheers
10 vs 25
Apr 28
One of the things I’m mulling over is whether 10 or 25 man raids make the most sense for Cold Comfort. The benefits are fairly obvious: less people means less management (and less drama, but this is going to be a “drama free guild”, right? *cough*) The downsides are a little more subtle. Depending on [...]
I keep seeing this sort of thing in LFG, and I just don’t get it. I get the obvious motivation behind it – people who have just upgraded to WotLK think that they can get a nice set of tier 4/5/6 that will make their leveling experience in Northrend quicker than using quest-provided greens. If [...]

“My Guild Won’t Let Me”
Apr 26
an interesting post from Fel Fire, a warlock blog that I found via a post on World of Matticus (who also dedicates posts to the topic of Guild Management on a not-too-infrequent basis). Well worth the read: http://felfire.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/my-guild-wont-let-me/ I agree pretty much across the board with his points (especially the account sharing one). Now, off [...]
Casual Schmasual
Apr 26
How many times have you see this type of thing in trade chat or on forums? Several of the guilds I’ve been a member of have described themselves as being “casual raid guilds”. On the surface, this seems like the best of both worlds. You get phat lewtz but you aren’t a no-lifer. It’s too [...]
