Yes, I do. Main question is, what do you want to be able to do/play?

I'm totally in agreement with everything that has been said in the two original posts and I for one am stoked about moving away from WoW. I remember my first experience with SancT. At the time, I was in the "Galactic Alliance" guild in SWG and my best in game friend Aelfric Starstriker told me that SancT was defending a hill outside Mos Espa on Tatooine and was looking for help. So I joined the group and got the vent info. We PvPed against Imperials for I don't know how long. Afterwards, everyone, Alliance AND Imperial went on the roof of one of the buildings in Mos Eisley, where the devs had set up the band from Jabba's palace to entertain. I was the only one from GA who went and was sitting alone in a corner, lol. Yva saw me and asked me in vent to join their table. Astrus passed out drinks to everyone and we have a virtual toast "TO SANCT AND TO THE ALLIANCE". Elsewhere on the roof, other groups toasted their respective guilds and factions and everyone just spent time there hanging out. Shortly thereafter, GA was in the process of disbanding slowly and painfully and I applied to SancT. The point is, we've been in WoW for 3-4 years now and in 3-4 years nothing like that has EVER REMOTELY happened. Blizzard has made it that way. You can't even ask a question without having to wade through 4000 smartass answers to find what you are looking for. Blizzard has made is virtually impossible to even TALK to anyone on the Horde side save for vent, though if they did, it would probably be far worse. I won't miss WoW one bit. I may pop in from time to time, but I'll be much happier doing whatever with the friends I've made over the past 5 years. I was offered $300 to sell Jasko to some local company here in Raleigh....and while I'll doubt I'll do it for security reasons, I can't lie and say it didn't cross my mind.

As the title implies, I'm looking to set up a go bag or grab and go bag however you want to word it........ but I also think it would be a nice resource for others who want to travel and game My criteria are simple 1. it needs to be sized to be carry-on for a plane ( backpack or briefcase type size) 2. Light and mobile enough that I want to take it with me ( if too heavy nobody will enjoy taking it so it will be left home ) 3. Easy to setup and usage also teardown and pack My laptop is a ROG Strix so that's my base that I'm starting with

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE FIVE STATUTES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STRIVE TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE. REPRESENT YOUR ORGANIZATION. PROTECT YOUR ORGANIZATION! DON'T BE A BURDEN. RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS Lets take a more detailed look below at exactly what these statutes mean below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.1: STRIVE TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE. #1 - Communication is important. We use Mumble primarily as a communication tool. A headset or speakers with a working microphone is necessary to be able to listen to your fellow members, especially In times of war where two-way communication is crucial. Please install it so you are ready to go when needed. In any social media or group chat we refrain from vulgar and otherwise inappropriate pictures or conversations. (Also see #20) We are all mature. Please read the Voice Comms Guidelines by clicking Here. #2 - Cooperation is the key to success. Every game is made better when played with friends and every wing excels to higher standards in a coordinated team. We cherish our fellow members who go out of their way to help one another. Outside of a Call To Arms (CTA), there will be times when help is necessary for immediate action to ensure the organization's well being. If a S.o.W. Executive asks you to help with a high priority organizational event/task it is strongly advised you help as need be. The rewards of helping extend beyond the strengthening friendships and member morale. There are many opportunities in-game to contribute acts and ideas which count toward our rewards and ranking system. #3 - S.o.W. Achievements. Throughout your journey in Sanctuary of Wanderhome you will be able to earn achievements and awards for doing something extraordinary while playing with the organization. These awards will be given to you by the S.o.W. leadership and they will be visible on your website profile. Many members see this as having bragging rights; you gotta catch em all! Note: If you decide to leave Sanctuary of Wanderhome, all of the awards you have earned throughout your stay, may be permanently wiped clean from your profile. #4 - Don’t let trolls bait you, deal with them tactically. Trolls exist wherever you go. If someone verbally abuses you, please screenshot the conversation(s) you are having with that person and provide that screenshot and a description of the altercation with a Chairman/Executive. We have tried and true ways of dealing with people who troll our members. Be sure to be the most reasonable person in the conversation, and end the conversation as soon as insults are thrown. Remember to screenshot/record the conversation if you can. Also, remember that C.I.G. also has Terms of Service that its customers must abide by. If you are the victim of a player who is in violation of these terms, file a harassment Ticket with CIG, if applicable, ASAP. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.2: REPRESENT YOUR ORGANIZATION. #5 - Represent Sanctuary. Sanctuary of Wanderhome is an exclusive organization. Our members understand that they are to be focused only on one organization and that is their organization; Sanctuary of Wanderhome. With that said, our Members are not to join other organizations, unless authorized by our Executives. We also do not allow alternate characters, owned by our members, to be in other organizations either. Unless otherwise noted by an Executive redacting or hiding your membership to Sanctuary of Wanderhome is not allowed. The only other org that our full members can be involved with is the Evocati Test Flight. For more info about the Cloud Imperium Games ran group Click Here. Upon your acceptance as a member please change your community moniker to include the -=SoW=- tag in front of your name. Having a -=SoW=- tag means you represent the organization at all times. Wear the tag and be proud! Also be sure to change your avatar to include the official S-Star border around your avatar! Click here for more info! #6 - Have Fun™.... Sometimes we log in and we get caught up in the grind and becoming more proficient at our professions or simply just making credits with our friends. One of the benefits here at S.o.W. is that you are free to roam within any of our three branches, at any time, making it so that you have a more overall varied gameplay. #7 - Don't advertise other organizations - We do not allow any of the users on the S.o.W. forums or Voice Comms to advertise other organizations. Moderators are free to delete any posts/topics that contains such advertisement. Spreading other organization’s advertisement/propaganda/event information on our forums or voice comms can result in a ban without notice. #8 - Sanctuary of Wanderhome on social media platforms. We can be found on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Reddit. Be sure to follow us on social media so that if our site is down you will be up to date on when it will be back up, and other important messages of the like. #9 - Cheating in Star Citizen is not tolerated in any way shape or form. “Cheating is the getting of a reward for ability or finding an easy way out of an unpleasant situation by dishonest means. It is generally used for the breaking of rules to gain unfair advantage in a competitive situation”. Also, if you see someone in the organization that might be cheating please contact the administrators with proof, as this may sully our reputation with Cloud Imperium Games and the community. #10 - Avoid PVP piracy. We have a strong focus on security and frown upon random acts of piracy against other players. Those who commit random acts of PVP piracy in the ‘Verse will be reprimanded and subsequently removed if repeated instances occur. There will however be fair targets which we will announce internally and, at our discretion publicly. If you are not a member of Sanctuary of Wanderhome and wish to file a grievance against a member of ours who you think has done wrong to you, please get in touch with a Staff member. DURING THE TESTING PHASES OF STAR CITIZEN: Sanctuary of Wanderhome has anti-piracy guidelines for when Star Citizen is released but ok's "piracy" in the Alpha stages when testing is needed to make the game better and potentially find and prevent bugs that promote griefing. Please read THIS POST for more information. #11 - Recruitment. If you at some point wish to recruit on the behalf of Sanctuary of Wanderhome, please get in touch with a Statecraft Operations Staff member and let them know you wish to contribute. They will give you further instructions on how to proceed. o7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.3: PROTECT YOUR ORGANIZATION! #12 - Sanctuary CALL TO ARMS (CTA) Whether you’re a fan of PVP or not, there will be a time when we will be called to defend our friends and family from griefers, enemies and pirates looking to make a buck. In Star Citizen there will also be times where we will have to come out and defend our homes, territories and strongholds. We will not tolerate the abuse of our members by the enemy. When a CTA is issued by an Executive it is highly advised that all Sanctuary of Wanderhome members, in every branch, respond to the CTA if called upon. Refusing to respond to a CALL TO ARMS, and help defend your fellow S.o.W. brothers and sisters, can result in removal from the organization. #13 - Unity in all branches. Outside of our organization guidelines there are also Branch guidelines. Our branch guidelines will need to be followed and respected as they are pertinent to the cohesiveness of our organization. Many of your organization's events may involve more than one branch, further reinforcing the chance for our branches to interact with each other. Our branches work together and communicate with each other cohesively, and our members following the branch guidelines and organization guidelines is key to that cohesion. Please visit each respective branch page and speak to branch directors to be clear on what is needed to be an effective envoy, operator or officer of each respective branch. #14 - Alliances. In Star Citizen we will be allies with other organizations. These organizations are NOT to be attacked/engaged by our members unless a specific order to engage has been given by an executive of Sanctuary of Wanderhome. If you are being attacked/engaged by an ally of S.o.W. get in touch with any of our Staff as soon as possible! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No.4: DON'T BE A BURDEN. #15 - Refrain from excessive complaining. Complaining without efforts to make the organization any better will not be tolerated. We believe that if you have the energy and time to complain about, something such as, the absence of organizational activities, then you probably have a good idea of what a good organizational activity would be. Use the energy, that you would’ve used to complain, constructively and attempt to create an organization event. We more than welcome your initiative to start an organizational function through our Statecraft Operations branch. We listen to every idea members have and welcome constructive, logical conversations. If creating, organizing, or participating in organization events is appealing to you please send a private message to Shawkorrr. If you have a legit complaint get in touch with any of the administrators and let us sit down and talk it through. #16 - Begging for resources is not allowed. Making a profit in any game is not hard and you should be fully capable of earn your way throughout your time in the ‘Verse. Use the Questions Area of our website to ask questions about how you can make a better living for yourself. There will also be in-depth tutorials on how to make UEC as more game content is released! So stay tuned! #17 - Got a problem? Solve it. We believe that people should become excellent problem solvers in every aspect of their lives. If you have a problem with something, or someone, do take your time to try and solve the problem on your own, but if you need or want our help do not be afraid of asking for assistance; we will gladly be of assistance. #18 - Keep calm and... Star Citizen is a dynamic environment where things may not always go perfectly. If and when things aren't running perfectly, emotional or ad-hominem outbursts that disrupt the communication in battle will not be tolerated.

-=------------------------------------=- -=------------------------------------=- Dear Sanctians, In september 2006 "SancTuarY of Wanderhome" was created in World of Warcraft after we decided to move SancTuarY (SancT) from our old game, Star Wars Galaxies. This guild has always been about the community and we've made sure we've had a mature, skilled and awesome playerbase. Ever since we came to WoW we've known this game was not made for communities to flourish in. But even so, we managed to make this game our home for years while flourishing and succeeding in everything we decided to do; PvP or PvE. Haters tried to kill this guild for years, and none of them succeeded in doing that. We stood strong through so much hate from people that didn't like that we succeeded in PvP and PvE. We simply brushed it off our shoulders because we know for damn sure that this was the price of success! Haterguild after haterguild fell apart infront of our eyes, which we knew they would do, and watching them failing misserably gave us even more motivation to keep on going! SancTuarY of Wanderhome on Illidan has been a success and we've had so much fun proving people wrong over and over again. It is nothing new (it has been said for years) that we have been trying to find a different MMO to move to; Vanguard, Lord of the Rings Online, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Stargate Worlds, Warhammer, Conan.......none of those MMOs proved to be what we were looking for, and as of today none of those games have really become any better in time, and they are as good as dead at the moment. Now to move a successful guild like SancTuarY of Wanderhome is not taken lightly because there are so many people that has to be moved, but we see where World of Warcraft is heading; 'tis all about the loot, and that is something we find disgusting when we are trying to build a community with future real life friends in it. We've countless times seen long time friends leave because somebody else can give them a piece of loot... and that is just distateful! Some weeks ago we found out Star Trek Online is being released in february 2010. So a few of our members went out to test out this new MMO in closed beta, and report back to the rest of the administration team in a quiet fashion so people wouldnt panic and leave before anything was decided. But after testing out Star Trek Online for some weeks, we have discovered that this is an extremely awesome game, and that is just the beta version of it! One of the most awesome parts of this game is that the overall community there is like a breath of fresh air, no Illidan trade chat ignorance! The servers at STO are growing for each day that goes by, even the developers are overwhelmed by how many people that is playing it. When you have been playing STO for some days and you log into World of Warcrack, yeah, you miss STO instantly and you just want to get the fudge out of World of Warcraft! We accomplished what we came here for, and we've learned so much about gaming and how people think in-game as well as in real life. SancTuary of Wanderhome always did what they all decided to do, and it has been a great fun to play alongside guildies in battleground, raids, arenas and so much more for the years we've been in World of Warcraft ... but it is time to move on to something better; Star Trek Online! We will not be running any raids, instances, battlegrounds, no nothing in World of Warcraft, we are 100pct done with that game.... time for you all to choose; stay with people that have been your friends for a long time and that care about who you are as a person and not what your toon wears, or you can stay in lootinfested World of Warcraft and play with loothungry kids. If you are a member of SancTuarY of Wanderhome and you would like to come with us to Star Trek Online, you are more than welcome to join us over there. We are still in vent and will help you through it all if you wish. SancTuarY of Wanderhome will be the best of the best in the game for sure, and we already have a huge amount of skilled and dedicated players playing with us; even people from WoW! This will be our new home where we will flourish and keep on growing as a community! If you are a member of SancTuarY of Wanderhome and want to keep on playing World of Warcraft we will respect if you wish to leave the guild in World of Warcraft, and you may return to us in Star Trek Online at a later time. /salute -=------------------------------------=- -=------------------------------------=- Shawkorrr Guild Master SancTuarY of Wanderhome

-=ATTENTION SoW WoW PLAYERS THAT INTEND TO STAY IN WoW=- If you are in SoW in WoW and chose to play the game, you are welcome to stay in the guild, however.... Recruitment in the WoW guild has been halted, forever. The guild bank assets will also be frozen, forever. The above will never be changed so please dont ask. Those of you who have given to the guild bank, please know that we WILL REMEMBER your generosity if you gave exceptionally to the guild, and that respect supersedes World of Warcraft. Those of you who are still playing WoW and chose to leave the guild can do so understanding that we will not "hold the grudge" we did with other ex-members in WoW. ...also know that you are welcome to join us in STO whenever it finally hits you that you're playing a shi**y game, full of people who don't really like you, but rather use you for what you can get them in game. Good Luck.

I haven't played WoW in 6 months because, quite frankly, the content didn't excite me. The game was a grind. The loot must-have to 'succeed'. And most of the community hated everyone else. But I've been with SancTuarY since mid-2005, after my other guild moved on to WoW, and Astrus and the gang (musical group...hmmm?) have treated me awesome and with the uttmost respect. They've strived to help me play better in-game, and become a better person IRL. So, I'm happy to see SoW leaving WoW. Because WoW has damaged way too many friendships simply because of the loot. Good job Blizzard. Hope you guys can handle the drastic pay cut that's coming your way. On a side note, some one put all the stuff in guild bank up for sale on AH before we leave and then sell the gold to one of those gold sites... It's not like banning our accounts will matter after today anyways....

Our time in WoW wasnt wasted. We've met a good amount of awesome people while we were there. But we paid a good price for going to that game. We watched countless good people turn into loot whores right in front of our eyes. Did we leave because we couldnt hack it? Well, we had raid and guild leadership outside of myself that lead raids well and gave correct information to the members. Myself and others achieved feats in the game that a very low percentage of folks will ever achieve. No, we didnt leave because we couldnt hack it, but rather because of the community that we were subjected to while playing. -Racists. -Sexists. -Opportunists who joined the guild for the promise of loot but only played 15-25% as hard as the rest of us who were in there to win and progress for the guilds sake. -Malicious people who just logged into the game just to start drama. -People who were literally afraid of the game and could not play it because of that fear. -People who wasted the rest of our time in the raid, and played well only when they were yelled at or publicly ridiculed. -Uneducated Trash, whose only goal is to log in and belittle as many people as they can. -Emotionally unstable people who could not deal w/ any sort of criticism, polite or otherwise. ....the above kinds of people can be found anywhere in the world, but most of us here try and steer clear from these people w/ any of the above combinations of traits. But what if 9/10 people you meet have most if not all of those traits in blue? Would you enjoy that particular community? You probably wouldnt and that is where SoW found itself every month in Illidan. And the game itself bred these types of people. In World of Warcraft the only thing you kept during the life of your account that was material were your mounts and non-combat pets. Gear was everything and people would do anything and everything to get that gear. As far as competition is concerned, I never felt like it was Us vs. Evolution, or Us vs. Shards of Existence, or Us vs. Hoax, or Us vs. Hateforge, or Us vs. Rockn Roll Hoochie Coo. It always felt like it was Us vs. Blizzard We are a guild focused on community, that plays hard when its time to play hard. Blizzard wanted us to all play hard using as much time as our RL's would allow or disperse and find others who could devote a large majority of their life to the game. We did well trying to stay community focused, but Blizzard's game always stressed and tested our mettle, not as gamers but as dignified people. We always did things in a manner that would allow us to experience all facets of the game while trying not to be too imposing. But the game literally would not allow us to do that, and in turn slowly started to create the cesspool of fickle people described above in blue. People that sometimes we tolerated in our guild because "we needed to make sure the raids could run for the week". Ive seen good natured really cool people turn into loot addict, crack whore-esque, people right before my eyes, while playing this game. ...and watching people I thought were good people change like that, effectively started changing me and the way I looked at newcomers to our guild. In WoW, you were "a lootwhore until proven otherwise" when you entered our guild. And after 100's of lootwhores passed through our gates, we were more than justified in our thought process in that manner. I didnt notice how complacent we had become w/ that thought process until we started recruiting in Star Trek Onine. We immediately met awesome people when we started recruiting in STO. Intelligent, personable people. It normally takes 100-200 recruits on Illidan to find ONE, yes ONE of these types of folks....and weve met at least 5 while recruiting IN BETA. We leave WoW with a clear conscious and we log into a game and log into a community that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to Illidan. Can you believe that the people in STO actually give us RESPECT for being a 7 year old guild??!?!?! Amazing Right?! For a second there I thought running a guild that has a community OLDER than the game we play was irrelevant. No more Anal jokes, no more nig***r this and that.........yes, like a breath of fresh air. ********************* So.....F*** World of Warcraft, and least importantly f*** every single one of you that tried to ruin our guild while we were there. You failed, and were laughably horrible at what you tried to do. You had absolutely no chance in hell yet you thought you could destroy us. You just werent nearly smart enough, and you totally underestimated our resilience. So with all that said, Ill end this with a msg to Blizzard and the Haters... " POP OFF BITCHES" ....WE BACK IN OUTER SPAY-CE!!!
