Have I Mentioned How Much I Miss My Guildies?

General, Raiding

Here I am, stuck with a subpar computer¹ and unable to play World of Warcraft for any extended period of time.  Which might be a good thing given the quality of the computer that I’m currently using; I can surf the internet and make a post here or there², but the idea of doing anything more engaging than hitting the Battlegrounds while in-game is completely out of the question.

In this dearth of World of Warcraft time, I find that there’s one aspect of the game that I miss most: raiding.  I love the social interaction inherent in my raids and just being able to gab and joke between pulls — or even during!  In particular, I miss the Friday night antics of the lovable crew over at the Drunken Badgers.  The guild is very awesome, between the oft-eclectic personalities and the overwhelming success that we’ve had since starting up our twenty-five man raids.³

Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun with these guys and am really ecstatic that they gave me the opportunity to raid with them on my kal’dorei huntress all of those months ago.  I’m sure that you all know how difficult it can be to get into raids as a hunter, especially when people know that you have a fully geared healer with which you are pretty damned good!

A previoulsy unmentioned guild member who may or may not have been the topic of “What Not to do When Meeting a Guildie that First Time” took the opportunity to discuss this with me on Sunday.  We both miss raiding, though his absence is mainly due to his busy work schedule.  I’m hoping that when the container chock-full of my stuff arrives sometime early next week⁴ I’ll be available in time for my weekend raids, including the Badgers’ twenty-five man raids, my weekend raids on the perky priestess, and the bear mount run.⁵  I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to hang out with everyone again and down some bosses.

This topic is at the forefront of my mind today because of a message that I found in my mailbox this morning when I logged in to wile away a slow morning by owning some pukey Horde.  Guildmate Zivilyn — a character who became near and dear to our hearts with his antics as reported in “A Boss Strategy Even I Can Understand” — had sent me a message recently.  I decided to share it with the internet today because it really is that endearing!

Isn’t that just awesome?  I think that I may have shed a single tear when I read that today.  That’s almost as wonderful as the gifts I received when I finally decided to join the Drunken Badgers after a few months of not-so-subtle hints that I should accept an invite: between the booze, Delicious Chocolate Cake, Bundle of Fireworks, and the Gnome Effigy⁶ I could have held one hell of a party!
