The separation from my old guild didn't turn out as bad as I'd thought it would, though it didn't seem like it at first. When I first told my GM that I was leaving, she immediately logged off and didn't come back. That worried me a bit.
I managed to chat with one of the other officers later on. She had called him, told him what had happened and promptly went to bed. To be completely fair though, it was 2-3am in her timezone.
Anywho, I took the reigns from Banakin today (he'd been recruiting players since he left the day before last) and he introduced me to the guild members - hopefully I'll get to share some more information about them when I get to know them all a bit better. About eighteen members so far, which is very encouraging.
The whole point of creating Harms Way was to effectively establish an environment that new or less confident players could find some friendly faces where they could hone their own skills without the fear of hearing "NUBZ0R!" being yelled at them around every other corner. Y'see, elitism sh*ts me. I'll expand on that another time (for fear of starting a rant now), and long story short: Find good people, ignore their gear/skill/epeen, rescue them from the "PST GS/CHEEV OR NO RPLY" limbo that is currently WoW's endgame and see what happens.
I've already organised a water-testing raid, Naxx 10, for tomorrow. Both for Harms Way so I can get a read on where my new members stand and for my former guild (it was something I'd set up before I left). Hopefully it all goes well and a strong partnership is formed between us. We'll see.
-Ahz :D
