GentleGiant is on a distinguished road
I'd love to bring at least one of my toons into this academy and I believe my wife would want to do the same. I will ask her when she gets up later.

I'm just a big, friendly guy who is currently disabled, while my wife works but can still be on for at least an hour or two almost every day and much more so on her days off. I have one toon I try to only play when she's home, as we're a fighter/cleric duo and want to keep our levels similar. The alt I would like to bring in is a 19 archer, and my wife has a second cleric which I think is like level 14 or 15.

Our duoing toons were invited into another academy almost immediately, but now that we're there we are finding that, other than the person who invited us and maybe one or two other people, the rest of the academy members don't have a whole lot to say to us much of the time, and neither of us has the first freaking clue why. I'll tell you right now that the only thing we ever ask for is help with questions and basic game advice. We don't beg for money or items; in fact, every toon we have is an active tradeskiller and our intention is to be able to provide for ourselves.

I read your post in the rage area last night about being nice to people, and I know where you're coming from because both my wife and I have similar tendencies. We can't take it to the level you did, because we don't have a whole lot of money to spend on the game, but even the little examples of thankless behavior from others ruffle our feathers. I'm not a religious person, but I still understand the merits of the Golden Rule and try to live by it. Same with my wife.

Anyway, I'm going to PM you with the name of my archer and you can decide for yourself if you'd like to speak with me in-game, and perhaps invite me into your academy. Our duoing toons' academy claims that there isn't space for my archer, or I would try and remain loyal to a single guild despite my reservations which I stated earlier. If you're full, I understand. But if anything should come up, please keep me (us?) in mind!
