So, you want to invite your friends to Venomheart? While we do think this is awesome, we would appreciate it if you consider the following points first.
First off, please let us know if you have someone new coming in. While we don't mind new people in the slightest, it's common courtesy to let Dash or myself know so we can greet the person some way other than, "Who the hell are you again?" If you can't get ahold of us for some reason or another, have them send in-game mail or a /tell to Dash or myself when they're in-game, so we at least know they're there.
1) Does this person have any experience with Warcraft? If your friend has no idea about the storyline or even Warcraft in general, it would be sincerely appreciated if you directed them to a Wiki first or simply schooled them in the ways of WoW before subjecting them to us. There is no Mexico in WoW. Please make sure your friends take note of this.
2) Can your friend type? There is nothing more frustrating than trying to RP with someone who can't type to save their life. No, none of us are perfect, but it's near impossible to RP when someone is using acronyms or using "text message" speech. Granted, Dash and I are somewhat OCD about our spelling and grammar, and no, we don't expect you to be as well, but we do ask that your friends at least know how to use a computer.
3) Is your friend a total idiot? If this person is a renowned dumbass, please-oh-please don't send them our way. Dash and I deal with enough stupidity on a daily basis without having it shoved in our faces on WoW. Venomheart is our release from daily frustrations, as we hope it is for all of you. Please help us keep it that way. Tell your friends not to leave their common sense at the door. Intelligence is made of win and happiness.
4) Are you only showing your friend Venomheart so they'll think you're awesome? Winning friends by showing them how you can kill an NPC with the click of a mouse is a bad reason to introduce them to Venomheart. The rest of us end up logging on to the server to find some moron killing NPCs or doing something else retarded. Venomheart is not the Special Olympics.
We really do enjoy spending time with you guys, and while we do encourage you to help Venomheart grow, we ask that you consider the person you're inviting before bringing them in. Venomheart is the product of more of Dash's hard work than most people realize, and it's really frustrating when people log on and act like morons, especially when we don't even know who they are.
With these things in mind, we encourage you to invite your friends. Bring your girlfriend, whoever! Just make sure they have a brain first. It's a win-win situation for everyone!
