I was invited at about lvl 8 to join a guild, before my 10 day trial play period was even over. I've been with that guild for about two and a half weeks, but as of today I'm guildless, because I left the guild.
I find it strange that Guilds are called Guilds on World of Warcraft - they're more like Clans, and the Classes are more like Guilds in my personal experience. But I guess since you can't switch classes with a character, they're kinda not like Guilds I'm used to...
At any rate, I left mainly because I didn't really "click" with anyone. I was/am too small when everyone was doing WC and RFK and BFD, and the people who play regularly are 10-15 lvls above me, plus, there's this one kid who is very crass and mouthy but if anyone says anything to him, he's whining that he's 11 and we should "be nice"... and unfortunately he plays a lot.
I was thinking of just /ignore'ing him but I initiated a guild discussion when he mouthed off something crass (around the profanity filters of course) this afternoon and my guildmates stood behind him in support. That's okay, I'm okay with being the odd one out, but when I'm the odd one out, I'm much more motivated to try to find somewhere I fit in.
I'd rather be alone than be in a group I don't fit with.
Sooooo... Perhaps I'll tap Jkoll up and see if I can get invited to his guild. I've enjoyed partying with him and seen him partying with guild members as well, which is a good sign to me.
