Welcome to the Science Guild

Ultimately this will be a "guild of guilds" for scientists, MMOG researchers, and science-loving inhabitants of any game world.

Currently the action is focused on the Science guild in the World of Warcraft (Horde faction, Earthen Ring US server).

Read all about the origin of the guild in Science magazine HERE! The guild's founding event is also described in this WoWInsider article, and some bloggers also took note: Scientifiques, à l’assaut! ... Conference ends in total carnage ... Smashing beasts for science ... We are not alone

Here is an article about the former Guild Master written by the current Guild Master, including his early career as a Satanic cult investigator.

And here is an interview on NPR!

Want to join the Science Guild?

Here's how it works:

1. Take a look at the bio pages of the Guild Master and the Guild Officers.

2. Decide which of these people might be most pleased to meet you (based on similar interests, sense of humor, or WoW character outfit coordination).

3. Contact that person either in the game (via whisper or mail), or if that doesn't work, by email.

4. However!... before you can become a member of the Science Guild, you must make yourself a bio page on the Community Portal...

5. So you might as well start by making yourself a bio page. Take a peep at the HELP page to see how. It's fun, easy, and good for your teeth.
