The guild bank is open for business. All members above Initiate level will have the ability to add and remove items from the 1st tab of the bank. These items will primarily be things important for getting your toon a good start in WoW. Things like bags, weapons, armor, and mats for first aid.

We invite all members to stop by the bank and check it out and don’t forget to read our guild bank policy.

For upper level players, we would really encourage you to not sell those extra 8 slot bags, or 20 stacks for linen cloth for 30s. Drop them in the bank where they will be really appreciated by our newer members and alts

So Stephen (a.k.a. Bëor, Super Officer) told me about this experience his friend had in a guild where everyone was on a first name basis. I mean a first name In Real Life basis while in game. How awesome is that? I love the idea. When you consider your guild is kinda like your family while in game, taking off one layer of amnimity is a big deal. It really helps you connect with your guild mates in a whole new way.

So…from here on out, if you so choose, Children of Iluvatar will be open to first name basis among members and officers. To help this out we will encourage anyone interested to add their first name in the guild info for your toons. To add your first name to your toon’s guild info open up the Social Palette (o), click on the guild tab, find your toon in the list, and add your name to the note in the info box.

What do you think? Is this an awesome idea or what?
