I can think of only one possible scenario in which you, my lovely readers, don’t already know about the guild made up of the blogging community. That one scenario is this; you only read my blog. If this is the case, I am ashamed of you. The World of Warcraft blogging community is immense and extremely talented. If I’m the only one you read, you are missing out on worlds of information and entertainment.

My blogroll, Right over there in the right pane of this website, is a good place to start. Most, if not all of those blogs also have a blogroll listed on their page somewhere. It’s a daunting task but I implore you, lovely reader, go forth and read! These people are amazing!

If you do read other blogs, I am sure you’ve come across postings about this mysterious Blogging guild before, but if not here’s my update.

<Single Abstract Noun> is the bloggers’ guild. We have EU and US versions, both on their respective Argent Dawn server. EU is horde-side and is headed up by Tamarind from Righteousorbs.com. As for the US counterpart, we’re headed up by Miss Medicina and are Alliance. If you’re interested in the blogging community, head on over to your local Argent Dawn server and create an alt of the proper faction to get you started.  I know that on the US server you can /join singleabstractnoun and ask for a guild invite, but I’m not sure if that chat channel is set up on the EU server.

I joined <Single Abstract Noun> for kicks last Friday night, and rolled a Night-Elf Druid named Maerdred. Yes. I know. I am very original. The best part of it is, I made him look EXACTLY like “real” Maerdred does. But that’s not important right now. What is important is that this guild is open to anyone. If you write a blog? You’re in. If you read a blog? You’re in.

The very best thing about this guild is that it’s made of Bloggers and their readers. It’s the most social guild I have ever seen, and also the friendliest. If anyone ever has a question “Where do I get the Spider Ichor for this quest?” two, three, fifteen people chime in with info to help them out. “Do I want AP or agility?” a few will chime in with figures and advice. Being in a guild with the most informed people in the game makes leveling simple and fun. That’s all there is to it. There’s always someone there with the knowledge that you need, because as Bloggers, many of us have either written a leveling Guide, or done the math or even just read enough of others’ guides to remember the information.

I’ve leveled Mini-Maerdred to 14 and so far when I’ve been on, I have not seen less than 20 others logged in at the same time. That’s a feat in and of itself. Last I saw, I believe there were over 200 characters in the guild, spread across at least 175 accounts. There may be more now. Last night while I was logged in for about an hour we invited 6 new people. If that’s a trend that continues, we’re going to be full soon and need a sister guild.

There’s a forum for the guild up somewhere, and I hear that someone is working on a listing of all bloggers who have joined by piecing together a list from forum posts and replies to Miss Medicina’s post on the subject. I think it’s going to be a huge list, and it will surely rival even the largest Blogrolls out there. I know it’ll be causing my feed reader to grow, possibly my blogroll as well.
