The Classifieds brings you weekly news from around the WoW community, including the famous Random Acts of Uberness shout-outs to players who make WoW memorable.

One of the best things about WoW is the friendships you make along the way. It looks like this group has done plenty of that. Long, awkward silences between new acquaintances? Not this gang.

The Ancient Order of Wisdom on Arathor (EU-A) has had a very busy week.

We celebrated our fifth anniversary yesterday with a “Cattle Run” — a bunch of level 1 taurens doing the run from Mulgore to Thrall (made more interesting since half the guildies there are very much pro-Alliance and didn’t know exactly where to find him!). Naturally, we had to do this on a different realm due to the number of altoholics we have. There were a few hiccups on the way … (by “hiccups,” read grizzly deaths), but there was much laughter on Vent and prizes for the winners!

In recognition of this rather superb achievement, we also had the first ever guild meeting last weekend. “Wisfest” took place in York — and had a weekend where real life was a parody of WoW. An ancient walled city with dungeons and ghost tours! Naturally, we had to sample some of the local ales. Fifteen of us turned up to meet and gel our online friendships into something more. I’m very appreciative of all those that came — in particular Stony, who travelled all the way from Belgium. We had an absolute blast!

Needless to say, Wisfest 2011 is already in the calendar for next year.
