Well, since you are looking for some sort of group/community thing to do...and WoW is/was an online "role-playing game"...heh heh heh...I can see it in your eyes that you already know where I'm heading with this. :P I know, you don't really care for RPGs, but (hear me out) how about some of us get together on a Saturday and try one? If nothing else it will be an excuse to get together and knock back a couple of beers (and I owe you a couple anyway).
I have a simple game that I think everyone would have a blast with if they gave it a chance.
So how about it? We get a few of us together and some steaks and some beer and give it a shot? Worse thing that can happen is everyone gets to hang out for a few hours.
I don't read the forums because I have no idea what people are talking about on them and, mainly, because it is hard to see. I will have to figure out out to make the browser display the page in white with black text.
Also, I don't want to have to ask people to make time to play with me. Feels like I am begging for friendship. They have their own thing going on and I an ok with that.
Besides, when do I have time to read or play? I am working 60 hours a week. I would love to do so in my spare moments, but the site isn't WAP enabled for me to read it on my PDA.
You should be able to change the default style of the forums from your profile page. It's not working, but hopefully Elizium will get a chance to look at it and figure out why not

Pretty much got to agree with Krys on this one, Greg. Popping into the game and just expecting people to be there and play with you really is no different than just stopping by someone's house and expecting them to receive you as a guest. I'm always glad to see you on, and would be more than happy to try and arrange a time when we could play together at some point, but if you log in while we're in the middle of a raid with 39 other people and almost everyone in the guild is on that same raid they might not even notice you logging in. It's not that nobody cares about you being there - they don't notice

Forgive me. This is not very articulate...garthicSeptember 23 2006, 21:10:16 UTC
I do see why it is difficult to keep up. That is a LOT of stuff. I am not sure I see WHY all that is necessary. When I am in game I am looking at one thing. The action, and guild chat. Of which, there is practically none

I even thought of the idea of starting another group that meets every say Tuesday night, 7pm or something. Like the weight watchers/ or the lodge, or some such. We all play together. We only play those toons together on those nights. In theory, we should be able to grow together and spend some time together. Now it seems like a really silly idea.Actually, that's exactly what we do with Sentherene. Juno doesn't care if he gets zerged (dragged along by higher level characters) when we actually group up. Quapla is L21, and I try to keep her pretty much near-to-even-level with Tessa, who only jumps on once in a while, and always with advance notice

Because co-ordinating that many people and trying to achieve a goal is pretty much like cat herding. In many ways, it's a lot like a job. Hell, I spend many hours outside of the game preparing for things that happen IN game.
I don't understand how I can be level 1 and play with you. I know I don't know enough about the mechanics but the mechanics were never my thing. My thing is playing with other people, discovering new zones with other people, having fun with other people. Sharing the experience. Not necessarily asking people to repeat fun others have already had.No, there is nothing new for us to discover in the game. That much is true. There will be when the expansion comes out, but that's going to com in two different forms - New characters (of which I, personally, don't have any plans on participating in

And pretty much quit playing for the same reasons you listed.
Maybe in the new year, when we have all the holiday newbies signing up, we'll try again?
