I can see where you're coming from, and realize that I've probably got a different outlook on the whole thing.
That being said, it's not really important to me, since I'd likely go my own way in favor of RL friends.
I just figured it'd be nice to at least start with a group of people that I'm at least slightly familiar with.
Hypothetically: Would the issue with it being mostly eGO members persist if a guild forum was made? (I don't mean it as being linked to eGO or anything, just an entirely separate forum for the said guild.) Or would the issue still be the potential of members getting irritated at each other, and being miffed over here, where the issue can't be resolved (as the game isn't under eGO jurisdiction?), even if the argument is kept to the guild forum?
If so, that's a tad disappointing for the sole reasoning that that means I technically shouldn't play with any other eGO members in the said game. =/
