Greetings, fellow bloggers! As the newest addition to the GuildMasterpiece Theater crew, I thought that I would take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Eszti and I am a long-time player of World of Warcraft having participated in the open beta-testing. While originally a Horde supporter and an active member of a number of PvP servers, I was eventually coerced by a good friend to reroll Alliance on the Feathermoon US roleplaying server. There I joined the ranks of prepubescent teens everywhere by rolling my Night Elf, a hunter by the name of Eszti Nightwing.
I am currently guild master and co-leader of a medium-sized roleplaying guild on the Feathermoon US server. Known as The Regiment, the guild is comprised of a tight-knit group of eclectic individuals mostly located in a small town somewhere in the Midwest. I am one of the original founding members of The Regiment, which was conceived in early August of 2006. Since that time I’ve held both the second- and top-ranked positions within the guild, having served as Guild Master for well over a year now. I balance my responsibilities as guild master with working fulltime, an admittedly lacking social life, and a rather robust raiding schedule; the guild’s success, however, can be attributed to my fellow Generals and the wonderful people beneath my command. Without their help, The Regiment wouldn’t be as half as successful as it currently is.
I look forward to interacting with all of you and sharing my thoughts in upcoming months. While I probably have a lot to say, for your sakes I hope that it’s worth the read!

Having helped lead a non-roleplaying guild before, I can say that it’s pretty much the same as any other non-competative raiding guild. We do instances together; we do our weekly raid; we tear up our opponents in the Battlegrouds; and we have our own drama that crops up every once in a while.
Roleplaying just adds another dimension to the game and one that can serve as a unifying factor. Our guild maintains a more-or-less lore-based justification for our existence. Each player is invited to come up with a reason why his/her toon(s) are in the organization and then proceed from there. My hunter (and guild leader) ended up as General through a series of unfortunate events; my priest was just looking for a place where she could contribute and feel needed. It’s fun to see how everyone interacts together, both in-character and out. It brings people together and it’s always fun to have characters that loathe each other on sight when you know a good friend is at the other end of the keyboard laughing along with you as they fight.
Thanks for all of the warm wishes and welcomey-type text!

I never thought about how it would BOND everyone… that is such a good point… I have totally considered rolling on a RP server… but it would HAVE to be a pvp one I think..
