It came from the Blog: Serving Azeroth's orphans

Big thanks to everyone who came out and played with us, the WoW Insider staff, in our new guild on the Horde side of Zangarmarsh last night. I'm playing an undead priest named Mikril, and I had a good time questing around with a shaman named Gambu (he made a good tank). All told, we picked up almost 60 guildmembers in our first night, and even rolled a few people to 10 so they could run orphans around Azeroth for the last day of Children's Week. We'll continue to keep the guild running for some fun and casual gameplay, so If you want to join up, just roll a toon on the Horde side of Zangarmarsh and send a whisper to anyone in "It came from the Blog."We are keeping it totally and completely casual -- I don't want to give up on my own usual characters, and you likely don't want to give up yours -- so there's absolutely no pressure to level up at all. We're just planning on making it a fun place to hang out once a week or so. While we will probably be around at various times throughout the week (I'll be working my way up to 19 so I can get a good WSG group going), our next organized game night will be Wednesday, June 6th at 7 pm EST. The Darkmoon Faire will be in Elywnn Forest then, I'm told, so we'll lead a Horde lowbie party into the Human starting area to run some tonk wars, shoot the cannon, drink some ale (and start some drunken fights with Alliance), and have a grand ol' time.
So mark your calendar, and in the meantime feel free to roll your own alt and come join us on Zangarmarsh. When you need a break from hardcore endgame raiding, or just want to come meet and greet all of us here at WoW Insider, we'll see you there.

What a BLAST last night!!!
This'll be so much fun! It was awesome to meet the people who make my workday a little less abysmal!! How do you find TIME to level AND write so prolifically??? lol!

Shame you don't have something like this on the EU servers, sounds like a good laugh.

I was tanking mobs almost as quick as you could pull them. Apparently the fastest way to gain XP is to run around with a priest who likes to SW:Pain everything.
=)
So how long until we do some lvl 19 WSG? I think that would be a good time too!
As always, thanks for the /invite

Yes, Amanda had a great idea here. It was a lot of fun. Definitely the friendlyest guild I have been in from the get-go.
I would suggest moving the start time back an hour or so. I'm EST but 7 pm is a bit early for me. And left coasters are probably still at work then.

Yeah, Lori, we're going to be switching the times around quite a bit-- we completely understand that not everyone can make it all the time, so we'll mix it up from week to week, and maybe even do it on the weekends every once in a while. If you guys have suggestions, just let us know here or in game. We're trying to keep it as fun and low pressure as possible, and we're working on including as many people as we can.
Sorry EU people I feel your pain-- I'd love to relocate to London, but at the moment we just don't have anyone available to play on the EU realms.

Darn this war! I can't wait to get home and get in on this, it sounds like a LOT of fun and to be able to play with all the people I see on here and the experience level of playing WoW that you all have, I will be able to be educated in game and out! All I bring to the table is 7 years of play EQ and a few months of playing WoW...but when I get home and you are all WAY far ahead of me I will try and catch up fast and enjoy ya'lls company! Can't wait!
