Retarded Guild Names

published June 5, 2009

World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Everquest 1 and 2, Warhammer Online, Lords of the Rings online, Guild Wars, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Vanguard all have something in common besides beings MMORPG's. They all have retarded guild names! The tragic thing is sometimes good people can be trapped in these guilds with retarded names. See how many of the following retarded guild names are on your server of your game. The following retarded guild names actually exist or did exist at some point.

Latin Names -This one seems to fortunately be on the decline, but they are still out there. Nobody cares about your 'clever' latin phrase or will take the time to look it up, even guild members. The only time people ever need to use this dead language is for animal classification and for studying SAT's.

example names: Equitas, Deleo Pravus, Obliveonem Incido, Nox Incurro

Canus Lupus Luna, now there's a Latin guild name that will make you lose weight, get chicks and more friends.

Short term joke guilds - Admittedly, these can be good. Sometimes they're even good for a week or in extreme cases, two weeks. After that, the jokes fades away and is no longer funny, in fact it becomes quite annoying.

example names: Lipstick on a Squig, Less QQ more Pew Pew, Two Gnomes Half Cup, Huge Rooster

After he went to "The Virgin Islands", they had to rename it "The Islands". Sigh.

Friends forever names - Usually the result of a guild split up where the skilled players leave, leaving behind the "we care about each other" crowd. Unless you actually like and care about everyone in the guild, this can be a horrible experience, because this is where the worst players are. There's usually 2-3 actual good players that keep helping out the other dozens of truly bad players.

example names: Kindred Spirits, Among Friends, Loyalty Before Loot

Yay! Loot will be in a council based system to make sure it is distributed fairly among everyone, and that no one will ever feel shafted so we will be friends forever and never let something a small thing like loot ever come between us! Yay!

Girl Power names - Ra ra ra! Yeah! Let's make a guild of only grrls and show the world that we can play just as rrrrough as the boys! Yeah! Unfortunately these guilds have more horny boys pretending to be girls trying to meet girls, than actual real girls. They also usually suck really really bad.

example names: Killer Chicks, Girls Gone Warcraft, BaTtLe BaBeS

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want. I really really really wanna zig-a-zig ah!

Unspellable Guilds with Weird character types - Why? Usually it's because the correctly spelled version of the guild name is taken. This means your guild name is not original. It's also a terrible inconvenience for others, especially those who keep tabs on you and your guild.

example names: Synërgy, Dêlêo Prâvûs, FAÏL ÏNC

Guilds that try to sound badass, but make no sense - Let's combine two words. It doesn't have to make sense, just sound awesome!

example names: Celestial Darkness, Torn Chapter, Twilight Medallion

Sometimes putting 2 unrelated words together can be dangerous.

Spaces between letters and Caps - Yes, let's bring unnecessary attention to our guild. With all caps and spaces between the letters, the guild name is so V I S I B L E. It's also really R E T A R D E D.

example names: F R O S T E D, D A W N B R I N G E R S, A B Y S S

"We Like Alcohol and Marijuana" guilds - Look, I like booze just as much or more than the next person, but to advertise it in your guild name is just automatically giving you a bad rep. It usually will consist of the underaged, who are so rebellious by drinking before the age of 21. These guilds unfortunately actually do have the most retarded people on the server.

example names: Drunken Soldiers, SmoKE OnE, Probably Drunk

You'd think they'd give Phelps an extra medal for taking performance dehancing drugs.

The Blanks of Blank (Group* of *Place or something 'cool') - This is easily the most common guild name you'll ever see. Probably 20-30% of all guilds in the world follow this in various variations.

example names: See the table below

Dark	Order	of Fries
Crimson	Legion	of Honor
Celestial	Knights	of Stormwind
Shadow	Keepers	of Norrath
	Defenders	of Truth
	Clan	of Darkness
	Guardians	of Flame
	House	of the Phoenix
	Council	of Virtue

Band name/Song tribute guilds: These guilds just scream " Welcome all 13 year olds" and should be avoided at all costs.

Example names: Linkpark, Feel Good Inc., Ridin Dirty

Bonus Crappy names: The Old Timers Guild, Knights Who Say Ni (seriously, there's one on every friggin server)
