Friday Fives – Best Guild Names

Posted in Friday Fives

While MMORPGs may not usually be thought of as an untapped talent pool of literary genius, there are certainly some unheralded wordsmiths out there. And no, I’m not referring to anyone that had the creative foresight to throw a moo pun into the name of their Tauren.

For all the guilds on World Of Warcraft unimaginatively named Exodus (200+), Redemption (200+) and Conquest (132), there are a few bright gems out there shining like witty beacons in a sea of players somehow unable to even spell rogue correctly.

Here are some of our favorites:

    @hiro

    Well, the answer should be quite obvious if you think about it: the writing team has predominantly WOW players. Which is a pity really, because while it is undoubtedly popular, the game is really (at its heart) nothing more than a shinier version of several MMOs before it. And as game journalists, one would hope that the team could draw attention to MMOs that are critically better, as opposed to falling victim to popularism.

    LoL steaks on a plain! Reminds me of the arena where you fight against a fire elemental called bloody clever

    why all WOW guilds…
    some Final Fantasy XI linshell groups for reference

    1) Special task Force
    not supposed to be offensive, but somehow GMs in the game felt that it was offensive and gave the linkshell leader a temp ban whn they were in the middle of a battle.

    2) TikosUnited
    obviously singaporean ^^ but there’re people from france, KSA, USA, indonesia also
    good thing the GMs didn’t know what that meant, but taiwan players were rather amused by this LS

    3) LimLauBus
    also a singaporean LS, focused on this end game event called “Limbus”, was supposed to be LimLaoBus, but apparently that has been taken
