Please stop. Bards are fun, bards are nifty, but please, please, please learn a speck of common courtesy and patience. There are half a million naked rogues fresh from the portal milling about begging to get inducted into the Glomdoring and then the Harbingers, which is annoying enough to the general populace and the guild, and I can hardly imagine the sort of thing the leaders are going through. "HEY CAN I JOIN", "I WANT TO JOIN", "HOW CAN I HELP", "WHAT ARE YOUR SKILLS", "ARE YOUR SKILLS GOOD". I've been getting a steady stream of these and I'm not even anyone important! I can only imagine how bad it will be once novices can create into the Harbinger's... we'll get to waste our time 'training' fifty alts at once, while true novices are neglected or lumped in with the obvious alts and left to their own devices, all while people are trying to work hard to actually get things off the ground.

If you're genuinely interested in the RP, then by all means join as soon as you can and delve right in, either by making an alt once the guild is open or by transferring over an already established character, but please, if all you're after is AB files and a chance to tinker around with the 'Cool New Thing' then just wait. It will make things easier and less stressful for everyone. This sounds a bit elitist, like "Wait your own damn turn," but seriously... don't make things harder than they need to be.

EDIT: Again, this isn't aimed at people who really want to play a Glomdoring character and stick around, it's for the people who are going to sit around for an hour, waste people's time, and then run off giggling with the skill lists. Hell, I don't even mind you having the skill lists, I'd send them all to you myself but Glomdoring would castrate me. It's just the method that I dislike.

I understand what you're saying and sympathize with you, but should you be avoiding a forum ban that way?

When I saw the title public service announcement I thought of the song Warning by Greenday. I will now have to go listen to it. I blame you for making me waste a few minutes of my life.

But on another note, I agree with your post. More power to you!

No, but as far as I can tell the ban was the result of simply having a huge warning level and not an actual "Ban Guido" button being pressed. Which is still a ban, and I'll be scampering off now, but I felt that this had to be said.
