Sooo, my guild fell apart a bit. There was a lot of drama and silliness, raiding wasn't happening, and my partner again reminded me that she had many characters on a different realm.
With a surprising amount of trepidation, I moved my main to Darkmoon Faire and joined a smallish guild. I know a few members from university, and the flavour of the guild reflects that kind of gathering. Guild chat is frequently home to discussion of theorycrafting, people are very willing to debate and don't hesitate to call out spurious statements. It's not unpleasant, but it's certainly different.
I think I've only managed two guild-normative faux pas. I severely understated the value of the more interactive Arcane playstyle (too long as fire, clearly), and performed a semi-wowcock move when HPS discussions arose about Festergut.
I've managed to do a couple of ICC10 bosses with the new guild as a stand-in DPS. Blowing the dust off of my PvE elemental gear was a bit strange (2T8! Eek!), but I think I performed adequately and we got Saurfang down on the third attempt. I've since farmed up another couple of bits of T9 and I'm working on the cloth headpiece now, so hopefully I'll be able to contribute a bit more should I need to DPS again. Of course, I'm gently prodding towards a healing spot but the new guild has a plethora of tanks, melee and healers and a distinct lack of ranged DPS. Bleh.
DMF is an RP realm, but so far it's been light and mostly confined to Silvermoon. All to the good, I don't have much desire to RP and none whatsoever on my main. We'll see what happens if I fling tinyTank across, though. If all goes well I'll move at least a few alts over to join the main - mostly, if I'm being honest, because they have handy professions and it's convenient to have such things available.
