You have a point there. But there are people who do those to relax after a couple of hours of work.

That's cool if you have nothing important to do...

I have to admit that I used to be a bum when I was a teenager and just play games all day long, but as I grow older I learned to set my priorities right and only play games after all the important things are done, even if it means not playing games in a day during busy schedules. But if I were to exchange other stuff like socializing for gaming then no, it's not a waste of time for me. As an MMO gamer I still get to socialize with other people online and actually became close friends with others, especially my guildmates.

A place for everything and everything in it's place, especially when it comes to gaming and life schedules. For sure, i do MMO too and have met many amazing friends that way. We reconnect through that common interest all the time. It's funny to think i would have never met some of these people otherwise cause many live half way around the world.

Well yeah, that's the thing about games with global servers. But it's also fun to play with other people from different parts of the world because it means that the population will never decrease at all times given that the players are coming from different time zones, hence you won't have a hard time forming a party even if you play at the break of dawn.

Though if you feel like having a local circle then you can also establish a guild named after a landmark or something that defines your city/country.

I like both ideas really, playing with others from around the globe and having a local guild so we can meet and game and hang out. That's a fantastic idea. I have some local friends who game too but had not thought about asking them to organize into a group with me. We hang out and game but it's not really official. Will give it some more thought.

As far as I know, Guilds needs some kind of virtual funds and resources before starting. And you need to keep that up if you want your guild to stay long.

But as long as you have the requirements, why not?!

Could you talk to me more about what type of virtual funds and resources are needed? I'm really interested, not asking out of idle curiosity.

I have been trying to get a clan going with my RS game partner but we do need at least 3 more people to get it started.

Can't say i could get my local friends to join as they are more console players.

Anyway, would be interested in knowing more about these requirements.
