The Solo MMO Player is finding the new guild names, ah, interesting. The favorite this week is Nagging Wives. We cannot wait to hear what happens when the spouse finds out the name of hubby's guild.
However, we think this might be the perfect gift to soothe the spouses in the Nagging Wives guild. Wonder if there is a discount for bulk purchases?
https://gear.blizzard.com/us/game/world-of-warcraft/cute-but-deadly-blue-murloc-kigurumi
Guild recruitment pitches are nearly as good as guild names. Today we heard of a guild looking for old vanilla WOW players. They say that they are a casual raiding guild that gets drunk, raids, and cannot remember the raid the next day. Translation: We need an experienced babysitter who can run the raid for us while we down multiple brews in quick succession. Don't expect a stampede of older players, folks. Adults have better things to do with their time.
Player behavior continues to baffle the Solo MMO Player. Tonight he had someone steal a drop out from under him, then ask where he was going to raid next. He also heard someone complain loudly, "They keep killing me!" This was on a PvP server. PvP doesn't stand for Pepperoni Vegetable Pizza in WOW, folks.

WOW Classic: Quit the Guild
If you play WOW or WOW Classic for a white, you'll see folks pestering you to join their guild. Some of them will spring this on you in the middle of a quest, too. If you don't notice and accept the invite by mistake, you'll be in their guild. Want to leave? The easiest way (although it's not as much fun as insulting the GM) is to just type /gquit.
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/3811454978
You may be able to right click on your name in the guild roster and then choose the quit menu item but this doesn't always seem to work.

Guild Wars 2: What are Back Items?
Back items are things like backpacks, capes or back braces (which can hold an additional upgrade). They can go in an equipment slot in the hero panel. Engineers get a backpack starting out while others pick up backpacks as quest items in their storyline quests. Some back items can be made by a Guild Armorer that display the guild emblem. Details and links about various back items are here.

Guilds I Have Seen
WTF Spagetti's blog entry about various types of guilds (he lumps them into the three general classes of social, casual raiding, and raiding) got me thinking about how The Solo MMO Player defines the guilds on his realm:
The Frat Boys: These guilds like to get together and trash the place, kill all the NPCs, block the entrance to the Auction House, mess with players out minding their own business, etc. and whose peak WOW experience was last year's zombie invasion.
The Users: The guilds that invite as many folks to join as possible so that they can use them to cherry pick the best drops for the officers and then boot the members who complain about this treatment. This guild is only interested in what's in it for them.
The Losers: These are the new guilds which are started by those no one else will allow in a guild so that they can lord it over somebody. The officers are inexperienced and domineering and these guilds don't last long.
The Fruit Cakes: These guilds are distinguished by officers who are nuts or who allow their crazy significant others to rule the guild. You can usually tell who is off their meds by the amount of Scripture they quote alternating with angry rants against you, the new guild member. Run away, run away!
The Pro Athletes: These guilds are the ultra serious raiders, with cut-throat competition for who has the best stats, gear or raiding slots. Join at your own risk, assuming that you can meet their very stringent criteria and raid every night of the week on top of reading everything possible to prepare for raiding.
The Taxi Drivers: These are leveling guilds with a twist. They look for high level players to walk low level players through instances. Very few folks here know how to play their characters as everything is given them. Avoid if you want to learn to play the game.
The Kmart Shoppers: These guilds want one thing and that's the "best" loot, whatever that happens to be this week.

Rift: Banks (and Guild Banks)
Guardian players can find their bank in Sanctum while Defiant players' bank is in Meridan. Here is a bit of information about bank basics.

There are no guild banks right now but they seem to be on the way.

Rift: Guilds and Their Quests UPDATED AGAIN
Apparently there are quests just for guilds. The guide to guilds on IGN's Rift Kingdom says you can see any guild quest on your guild info tab. Guilds can work on one quest at a time and apparently receive guild perks for completing quests.
http://rift.ign.com/wiki/Guild_Guide
UPDATE #2: I've found an article at Massively about how guilds work in Rift that has a section about guild quests. This is an excellent overview about how guilds work in Rift from how to start a guide to how the various guild windows work in the UI.
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/03/03/the-guild-counsel-a-guild-guide-to-rift/
UPDATE #3: A brief explanation of guild quests from the forums.
http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=396067&TabID=3349438&ForumID=1903286&TopicID=9559584
UPDATE: Zam is building a page about guilds and how they work on their wiki. So far there's nothing on guild quests except how the UI works.
http://rift.zam.com/wiki/Guilds_%28Rift%29
(If you need information about your guild panel, look on page 19 of the online game manual.)
http://www.riftgame.com/en/docs/RIFT_Manual_EN.pdf
This forum posting done during one of the betas describes the points you get as rewards.
http://www.lore.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=387377&TabID=3266924&ForumID=1855694&TopicID=9460587
I've found a listing of several Guardian guild quests here but haven't been able to find any Defiant guild quest information to date.
http://rift.ign.com/wiki/Category:Guardian_Guild_Quests
I've also found a list of Rift guilds (organized by shards) with links to their websites, if any.

Group Behavior
MMOs have other people in them. And where you have other people, you have other people whose behavior is going to annoy you no end. The Pot drew my attention to a post by Tamarind about how people act in the dungeon finder. Just what is acceptable behavior in groups?
http://www.mmomeltingpot.com/2010/11/righteous-orbs-on-acceptable-standards-in-group-settings/
Blessing of Kings looks at this controvery, explaining how Frostheim set it off and his reactions.
http://blessingofkings.blogspot.com/2010/11/outvoted.html
Here's the article in full.
http://www.righteousorbs.com/?p=2711
The only thing you can do about it is laugh, to tell you the truth. Tam knows this and posted a quick audio of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" reworked as a raid. For those who know the Tennyson poem, this is hilarious.
http://www.righteousorbs.com/wp-content/uploads/charge-of-the-light-brigade.mp3
And he's not the only one laughing at group behavior. Here's Jasyla's take on how to fit in while doing dungeon finder raids.

And he's not the only one laughing at group behavior. Here's Jasyla's take on how to fit in while doing dungeon finder raids.

Cataclysm Caps Guild Memberships UPDATED
The cap is 600 members. Guilds with over 600 members now will be allowed to be guilds under Cataclysm but can't add new members until their memberships numbers fall under 600. The reason why here.
http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/10/05/cataclysm-new-600-member-hard-cap-imposed-on-guilds/
UPDATE: Blizzard has changed the guild cap to 1000.

Mobile Guild Chat and Blizzard's Other New Gizmos
Larisa looks at the new features Blizzard has introduced in the last year or so, tries to decide which are hits (sparkle pony) and which are misses (in-game chat line and the mobile Auction House), and wonders which category the mobile guild chat capability will fall in. She doesn't mention the mobile Armory, which I've wondered about. Does anyone pay for this?

Guild Chat Planned for Mobile Armory UPDATED
This costs extra and will be added to the regular Armory later. whoopeehttp://wow.joystiq.com/2010/09/21/guild-chat-coming-to-the-mobile-armory-app/
When Kotaku mentioned this, they were less than enthusiastic and also wondered if the timing of the announcement had anything to do with ArenaNet's article about the same functionality.
http://kotaku.com/5644227/mobile-guild-chat-coming-to-world-of-warcraft
Here's how it works with ArenaNet in Guild Wars 2.
http://kotaku.com/5643811/staying-connected-to-guild-wars-2-on-the-go
ANOTHER UPDATE: Blizzard announes new features for the Mobile Armory, including a 3-D model viewer, a screenshot mode, activity feeds, etc.

Cataclysm Guilds: Size Matters (and Doesn't)
Apparently Blizzard is tinkering with the new guild achievements in such a way that the bigger the guild, the easier it will be to get the achievements. Larisa is not pleased.
http://www.pinkpigtailinn.com/2010/09/blizzards-message-to-guilds-get-bigger.html
UPDATE: Apparently Blizzard has announced that realm firsts will be shared between 10 and 25 man raids. In other words, there won't be separate firsts for 10 man and 25 man groups.
