MMO Family: Do kids belong in guilds?

Apr 4th 2012 6:26PM (Massively)
I've been in Family guilds and Adult guilds...and have had great experiences in both.

So yeah, I'd say the best route is to keep 'em separated :)

BioWare shows off SWTOR's customizable UI in new video

100% agree. The UI customization seems pretty complete, so long as I can add a 3rd horizontal task bar :)

Hyperspace Beacon: Breaking the bank

No sarcasm. I assume that 15 accounts is baseline for a guild bank, which seems like a high threshold.

In fact, any threshold seems arbitrary. If you have a guild you should be able to provide a bank for it.

15 members? Ouch, that's crazy.

Heh, the funny thing is we're both trying to make the same point but coming at it from different places. Let the games be fun for all players. :)

The only issue I see with your explanation of definitions is that you've chosen to let other players opinions affect you.

-shrug-

I play because it's fun. I play A LOT because I'm unemployed :)

I can perform well in any raid and shred many in pvp but so what? I'm casual because I'm not sacrificing everything to be on the bleeding edge content.

I respect those that do make the sacrifice and I respect myself for not making the sacrifice. Life goes on, regardless of how we choose to label said lives :)

Casual = Does not Raid or PvP with any degree of seriousness.
HC= Does.

I think the real line is who much prime time you can devote to your game, uninterrupted.

If you do 7-11pm 4 nights a week you're hc. Anything else? Casual.

I game 40 hours a week but I'm married. I'm casual. Make sense?

-shrug- I think of EQ as a mmog college that gave folks a good education on how to be social in a social game :)

in which case yes it is.

The very best players and guild leaders I've had the pleasure of adventuring with over the years have all been EQ vets.
