I think you are right. Most of us are around the same age or VERY mature for theis age. Why am I still with this guild. I personally like to think it's 90% loyality and 10% being a total nut bag. (Shut up plumb I am tryin to be serious)
I have known the longest guild members for a very long time. Just about the entire time that I have played wow. Darq bein the firest of them. I treat her as my honor sister. She talks sence and is very smart, patient and wont laugh when I try to type in her language. As fer Plumbob, their are no words that can discribe him, and that is because I never seen him before.
. He is a cool person to talk to, a pain in the ass at times but cool. He'll help when he can. I remember when he would help me and be in cue fer BG. He would always let me or the party know that he was gonna go and not just up and dissappear when it was time.
In the three years that I have been in the guild (yeah three years, sad I know) I've seen this guild go from only 2 classes to opening up to every one, the guild leaders changeing, leaveing, comeing back to play and yes I have developed relationships with them and even fell in love with some. The people that are close to me know whom I speak of, I think. Their has been times when this guild fell on really hard times. Goin from 110 people (2% at the time were alts) to 20. I have seen seeds of contempt, failure and so much drama that you could get a network contract for a day time soap and get paid well for it. To the thriveing guild that it is now. (I am getting to my point please bear with me).
Why do we stay through all of this? I like to think that it is loyality (year of the Dog is what I am and it shows). Personally, i love this guild
, I dont want it to fail and it hasn't, and I dont intend to fail it. It came damb close once, just because people wanted to bring their personal lives into game. Drama, this guild inst the place for it. Trust me I found this out the hard way. I will be the first to admit that I was the cause of some of it. I try not to. I dont have those influances in the game or in this guild any longer. They are still their, but like Plumbob has said before, if you dont like the person or what they are spewing from that hole they call a keyboard or the blizz chat,. /ignore (playername) or /mute (playername), and I have done so and am happier fer it and feel better cuz of it.
Okay I rambled on long enough. Plumb its your own damb fault to ask for our thoughts on this. You deffinetly got mine.
Talk to you all in game.
