I’ve been playing WoW (World of Warcraft) for quite some
time now and, after my initial reservations and resistance I’m really enjoying
it for lots of reasons. One of them is seeing avatars running around and
reading off their Guild names. Guilds are basically groups that people belong
to which give them perks and allow easy grouping up for any activity, such as Dungeons
and Raids, that need more than one person to complete. For a little while I’ve
been noting down some of my favourites which either made me laugh and sit back
and be impressed at someone’s inventiveness. Some of them won’t, I’m afraid, be
as funny or as smart to non-WoW players but it doesn’t take that long to
whip-up a new character and join in. See you in Azeroth!
Here they are (so far):
Raging Horgnomes

Soggy Biscuit
Sonic Death Monkey

Do people still use the old clan convention of putting bracketed initials in front of their names to identify their clan?
Not as far as I can tell. All you see is the character name with the Guild name underneath in angled brackets (which I can't put here because Blogger thinks they're HTML instructions).
Back in my Everquest Online Adventures days I started a clan named The Elite Grand Master Ferocious Fighting Squirrels of Norath. I was tired of all the elite, exclusivist guilds, that were all about grinding and raiding. I just wanted a guild that would be fun and off support for it's members.
Cool name! I would've totally joined that Guild!!! [lol]
To my mind the whole idea of playing any game is to have fun. If you're not having fun then go and do something else...!
We had a laugh tonight. One of the guys was invited to The Stalin Guild which apparently operated along Marxist-Leninist principles..... [rotflmao]
LOL @ The Stalin Guild!
You would have been most welcome in our guild! Sadly it was eventually turned into what it was mocking, and merged with another guild. Pretty sure that guild moved to WoW, but I'm not sure what their name was.
I think the guilds in Guildlink were fairly tame in comparison to some of those ...
The guild I started "Mercenaries of Darkness" seemed to get a few variations of the name appearing in other guilds.
I think some of it is people pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable by the screening software - and the rest are probably just having fun with naming things in a clever way.
I don't play, but can see the humor and cleverness in a number of these names.
