Gaming: Blimp Rides and Raids

The last time my guild had an event in March there were sacrifices to a dragon for all new guildies, races in the Shimmering Flats, a naked race, and drunken boxing. After all that excitement, we thought we would do something more calm, like a balloon ride.

Does everyone have their buddy?

In World of Warcraft, there are two opposing factions: The Alliance and the Horde. The Alliance gets about with an underground tram, ships, and portals. The Horde uses ships, portals, and dirigibles. Our Alliance guild wanted a ride.

We're getting on that blimp, whether you like it or not!

The Red Shirts takes its name from the red shirted Ensigns of Star Trek, who you knew would die with the first appearance of whatever (misunderstood) alien monstrosity threated the main cast. Our goal is to have fun and die with styIe. That, and take good pictures.

Hey, I can see my house from here!

The blimps take players from one Horde location to another, so naturally we were assaulted upon arrival. And naturally, the Horde NPCs (non-player characters) stood no chance against our nerd-tastic guild of high-level characters. Well, I'm still only 60, but I'm working on it!

Having arrived at our random destination - the undead Forsaken capital, Undercity - we realized that we had to go in. For a haphazardly thrown-together guild event that boiled down to a blimp ride and capital city assault, it ended up being quite fun.
