This story got me thinking. Very shortly after joining my guild I was on as
my rogue and knew none of the guildmembers who were on-line. So I invited
all of them to come to Freeport and have a drink with me. Two of them were
IN freeport and didn't respond. I got one to come in from Oasis and another
from S Karana. We did nothing but drink, emote, and crack eachother up for
almost two hours.
That was about 4 months ago. I've recently been on as my bard in the same
guild fighting with 3 guildmates in Lavastorm. And it wasn't until I read
you post that I realized two of them are alts of the two that joined my
rogue for a drink and the third is one of their RL sisters. Finding great
players beats any loot, I say.
Peace
