While I've been roaming around Atiesh-US --and on the Horde side of Myzrael-US-- I've come across, well, a lot of creative guild names. While I was out questing, I was inspired by Njessi's Hawtpants of the Old Republic and her periodic posts on Bad Fashion and her Hall of Shame to take screenshots of some of these guilds.
Yes, a lot of them are walking Dad Jokes...

I always wondered what a group
of Karens was called. |
And others skirt the edge of PG-13...
 |
| I guess I know what wands their casters use... |
 |
I think I found the guild the people in those
Viagra commercials are members of... |
There are those that shrug off any whiff of cynicism with their positivity...
 |
| "And top o' the mornin' to ye!" |
 |
| Uh... thanks? |
 |
| "...because I learned it from you, Dad!!" |
But there are those that provide a bit of entertainment simply by being a fictional part of the game...
 |
| I can get behind this. |
And finally there are those guilds that bring up their status in game...
 |
| Boy, do I. Thanks a LOT for reminding me. |
 |
| What if you're TWO tiers behind? |
 |
| At least it's well identified. |
 |
| "I think I can... I think I can..." |
 |
I've met plenty of happy or crazy
or loopy gnomes, but sad ones? |
 |
| Shinies for everyone!! |
EtA: Corrected a grammatical error.
I often see guild names out in the wild and think, "I wish I had thought of that one!"
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way!
DeleteThe other day I saw a guild named The Kindred and thought, "Now there's someone who's played Vampire: the Masquerade!"
I saw one the other day, No Sleep Till Northrend, that I had to give props to for the obvious age of the originators, and the fact that they know where they are going, but I absolute favorite was At Least We Took Stables, but that was an original that dates to at least original BC.
ReplyDeleteHa! I've been on the receiving end of so many Arathi Basin losses that I feel for that At Least We Took Stables guild. And if my wife played WoW, she'd be singing Beastie Boys right now.
DeleteI saw another good one this morning, "omg hi", which made me laugh.
One of my all time favorites is "Single Abstract Noun", the ancient blogger guild. But I think on my old server we also had "Pretentious Latin Words" or something like that.
