Guild Meet 2010

Another neXus guild meet is over and a whole year until the next one, so sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been away/recovering.

This year we met up in Liverpool and headed to the Isle of Man (the home of our guild leader) for the last few days. The usual suspects turned up along with a few members we haven’t met before all of who soon found the beer and got on great with the rest of us.

Meeting new members is always interesting as I often wonder just how much you know someone from voice chat or even just text chat for those that don’t use voice. With all the neXians I’ve met so far though it is just like I’ve known them for a while anyway as I think all who turn up do use voice chat and so I’ve already spoken to them just not in the flesh.

Some character traits do come out however as was seen in one of our members (I won’t name names ), who is famous for getting lost in game. It was the member in question’s first meet and she brought her boyfriend along, a brave guy coming to see us nutters. At the end of the night she went out of the lift and turned the wrong way to her room, only a quick shout from her other half saved our guild member from a long night wandering through hotel corridors.

We had the guild chuckle brother’s who I’ve never met before, continuing the banter they have online. Ffaffner an occasional author on this site kept up to character too. He always plays a dwarf and we know Dwarves like their beer, so Ffaffner obliged for the whole meet.

It was another good guild meet and assuming finances allow (mini-me on the way), I’ll be at the next one. It’s times like our guild meet and our group nights in game that make me enjoy MMO’s more, our guild has become more a group of friends who happen to play games together rather than a group of gamers.
