Oddly enough, I do have a toon on Kirin Tor... however, it is Horde.
>.<
Along these lines ("WoW as The New Golf") I will bring up that Science
magazine started a guild for researchers and those interested in the
study of virtual worlds on the Earthen Ring server, guild = Science
(Horde). Guild leader is Sciencemag, although the most common Officer
I see online is Retief. Only officers can invite. Use the /who command
or put them on a Friends list to see if they are online.
There was a "first scientific conference" held midMay that drew about
100 attendees:

Retief is Bohannon:

The June 20th article of Science will have an article on the
conference and open the guild to all those interested in the science
of virtual worlds. You do not need to be a researcher to participate
(although the rather strictured member system definitely mirrors the
bureaucracy of academe!)
I do not play there regularly, but if you want to find me, I am Krayte
or Tamanare. Frankly, as a long time WoW player and guild leader
myself, the Librarian guild sounds much friendlier. However, since I
*am* doing research, I had to join the Science guild!
