My son Pat, after being a long time RuneScape player, abandoned it in
favour of World of Warcraft about a month ago and now plays WoW for
hours on end every day.

How can I connect him up online with other unschooling WoWers?

Thanks.

Bob,
My memory is that you are in Australia, is that right? When we were in Brisbane this spring I asked about WoW at a game shop and they said that there is supposed to be a new Oceania site for the Antipodean folk soon, which would make it more difficult to hook up. From the UK I've had to use my mom's address to get a U.S. account so that Simon could play. We've let that one slide though in favor of a second UK account so that Linnaea and Simon and friends who live a ways a way can play together. Anyhow, Pat needs to be playing on U.S. realms and not the Oceania realms. The Horde of Unschoolers is on The Venture Co. realm . And I can't at this moment remember who you need to look for to be let into the guild. Here you go: look for Takulah, Aeolos, Bloodelvion, Thios, Bedwyr, Debraj, Dargon, Talukah, or Zeb and they should be able to help.

Hi, Schuyler

Yes, I am in Australia.

Thank you for that information. It's greatly appreciated. I'll pass
it on to Pat.

I see from your blog you're a cat person. Me too. We have three,
including a long haired ginger cat who was the spitting image of that
little ginger kitten of yours when we first met him.

Thanks again for your help!

Bob

Well, double drat! That is why I don't see you all on anymore. /
sad But, totally understand wanting to play with nearby friends.

Hi Bob

I mentioned your post to my sons, and they've asked if you would let your
son (and with this email I guess we're letting all Always Learning
unschoolers) know that they play Alliance characters on
Malygos server
as Dartril, Delantard, or Regorenn
and the other as: Arenamaster or Shortiye

We are unschooling in Victoria, Australia.

Congrats!!!

I was the one playing on the U.S. account, which isn't a bad thing. And I also felt left out of all the friday night get togethers...sigh...all that time difference and my needing sleep kind of thing. Oh, and my computer bit the dust, which means that I am only on the internet through Simon's and Linnaea's generousity with theirs.

I can always rejoin at some future point.

Thanks, Mica. I've passed that on to Pat and hopefully he'll make
contact soon.

My son now 12 did the same thing about a year ago. He was an avid
Runescaper for ages, and then suddenly he switched to WOW. He has been
having numerous Guild problems lately, as he has been deleted from a
few guilds for reasons unbenownst to him, and with his track record of
having "left" 3 guilds he can't seem to get on with any high level
guilds. He keeps getting rejection emails :(His character is already
level 70, and so he doesn't seem really interested in a guild with all
newbies. I don't know enough or "get-it" enough, regardless of how I
try, to really understand the whole WOW thing. I let him play and he
loves it, but I feel so useless when it comes to helping him navigate
his way through guild politics!

Hi, Shonna

To be honest, WoW is not my kind of game (nor was Runescape), so I've
struggled to pay attention when my son has tried to explain the ins
and outs of it to me (the same as he has when I've enthused about
FIFA Football!). Fortunately, he's willing to let me off the hook and
plays happily by himself without needing me to be intimately
involved. Although he still likes to share something occasionally. I
do recall a recent conversation about some kind of problem with the
guilds, but whatever it was he seems to have sorted it out himself.
