Guild Jinx; a LamentFollow

I started this game in a very small guild. We had just enough people to form a five man group, with a pally as our healer. We had fun doing instances as we leveled. But just when we all reached level 60 most of the guild quit to play a different game. So I started soloing full time.

A few months back a friend at work joined what was described as a laid back guild that enjoyed doing five man instances. I grouped with one of the players who was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the different instances. So I joined up. Within a month over 90% of the members left the game to play EQ2. That left me in two guilds with less than five members each.

Recently I was approached in game by someone starting a new guild. I figured what the heck and joined with an alt. About a week later the guild fell apart.

That brings us up to the present. Having taken nine characters to 60, and a couple of others closing in on the level cap as well, I’d begun to wonder what to do next. I once again considered raiding. Four former members of my first guild were in a raiding guild. Unfortunately, this was the kind of guild that forced you to raid even if your mother was gasping her last breath on her death bed. I had no interest in it whatsoever. But two of these friends came to town last Friday and while we ate lunch they told me about a new guild they had found.

This too was a raiding guild. However, it was a no pressure guild. If you wanted to raid then sign up and go for it. If not don’t sign up. It was a simple as that. So I looked up their web page and I liked what I saw. Sunday I decided to ask for an invite. That’s when I found out the guild had just split up.

So I’ve come to the conclusion that my characters are guild jinxes. They join a guild and it self destructs. In fact, they have become so powerful that they don’t even have to join a guild. All I have to do is consider joining a guild with one of my characters and it will fall apart just from the anticipation.

*sigh*

I’m hoping this story will end on a happy note. Most of the members of this last guild formed a new guild. One of my characters is now a member of that guild. With luck I’ll be able to experience some end game content for the first time. With a lot of luck I won’t destroy the guild in the process.

Wow...
And I just bumped TFS's recruitment threads on the o-boards, Vataro.
*sniff*
It'll be sad to see it dissolve. (heh)

Calabar, stay Alliance and far far away from my guild.

(But seriously...good luck to you.)

-T.

Calabar, if you're on the Stormrage server u can join my guild....although i gotta warn you we're quitting WoW when Vanguard: Saga of Heroes comes out =). You should make a guild called "Jinxed" and put all your characters into it lol. Only take like one out of it at a time to join a new guild, and if that guild falls apart, put the character back into "Jinxed" lol.

Excuses, excuses. Both of you need to play with us. At 9 months we've out lived 80% of the guilds on our server and every Alla guild to date. I'd say at the expansion we're officially at guild tenure for WoW.
