WoW Clones Guild
Jan. 28th, 2005 03:05 pmLast night
abditus,
archanglekhaos and I were brainstorming on a concept that resulted on an idea for a World of Warcraft guild. OK, yeah, I am in a guild or three already, so this is not because I need an excuse to be in a guild, but rather because this was just a delightfully perverse idea.
They offer several combinations of characters traits when building the look of your character, so that you have a chance of looking somewhat unique. Well, instead, we would like to build a guild where everyone looks exactly the same. Obviously, the clothes (armor) issue means we will not always be dressed the same, but the same hair (style & color) as well as facial expression and other features will still have the exact same settings.
We talked about the race options that would have the most impact, and settled on humans. Sure, the other races are more interesting in a lot of ways, but a bunch of cloned humans seemed like it would work best. (Just image a bunch of identical Gnomes and all I can think of is a lawn Gnome shop!) But mainly we picked humans because they have the most options for class (although not having Hunter is outright lame!).
Of course, in the end we all agreed that females would be the most fun, cause we could come up with a guild name like The Sorority Girls, or the The Cupcake Coven or some such perversity (as long as it does not break game naming limitations, of course). The other thing about choosing females is the individual names, which allowed us more options for things like a series of names that all sound similar (Muffy, Buffy, Fluffy; or, as in a certain anime; A-ko, B-ko, C-ko... and on down the alphabet).
So, why am I telling you this?
Well, to create a guild, we need at least 10 people. Also, there are several of our friends who we know have WoW, but are not necessarily on the same server, so we never get to play together, so this seemed like a good excuse to change that.
Are you game? Do you want to join our newly forming guild? Let us know here, so we can get a head count.
We still need to come up with the naming convention for the characters, so feel free to start the brainstorming on both. Once that has been decided, we will post what the characteristic settings are, as well as the naming convention. The guild name can still be debated while we get enough people to actually start one, but feel free to mention those ideas here as well.
Please note, this meant to be silly and fun, and not to offend anyone.
