WoW Ramble

omimouseSooo, there is drama going on with folks that I am friends with through WoW. Namely, my guild. Before anyone trots out the 'just a game', yeah, I know. These are also folks that I talk with, both in guild chat and over TeamSpeak. Anyone who has ever been a Callahanian should know by now that online friend does not equal 'not a real friend'.
So, dealing with a guild split that happened because the previous guild master felt that someone harassing a guildie (to the point of sending her nasty PMs and calling her the 'guild whore') was not as important as the fact that he could tank . . . Yeah, that.
You play nice, and you play at least civily, when you play with The Forgotten. Or you don't play with us. In our case, he got all . . . something because most of us felt that the family we'd built in the game was more important than the game. So the previous GM split, taking about 20-25 folks with him.
This wouldn't have bugged me this much if I didn't actually care about the folks involved. This guild is currenlty a major part of my social life, just because I talk with them about so much. And, other than my LJ friends-list, it's also the closest feel to alt.callahans that I've found anywhere.
On a good note, the drama seems to be blowing over. And I have several friends that really do remind me of the a.c. family that I never would've met without WoW. So, overall, more good stuff than not.
And the fact that this is currently the major drama in my life at all says very good things about where my life is right now.
