I read a few posts on the gaming forum here and it seems there is some interest for a WP guild of gaming Aspies.

But maybe we should not limit ourselves? I see a thread on MMO gaming but why just MMO? I mean, I love to game, more so with friends. So I propose the following:

Since I think most aspies enjoy gaming, and there are many types of multi player games, we form the WPGG, or the Wrong Planet Gaming Group. It would be a game spanning group with chapters. I think any serious gamer knows how these work.

We could, for example, have a FPS group. Maybe start as just playing as friends, then eventually enter some tournys? You know, like a Halo group, a L4D group, a TF2 group (I love TF2).

We would also have MMO chapters. Maybe one in WoW on an agreed server, one in DDO, etc.

MMO's and FPS's are really the only two types that are built around team play. So why not? There seems to be some gamers on here, lets do something :)

As I mentioned in another thread, I would even be willing to sport the Ventrilo server needed for abit. Once it got big then people would have to chip in (to pay for more slots).

I think it's a great idea personally. We don't have to settle on just one game, and we can all be connected still. I know Aspies tend to be socially shy and such, but if we are ALL aspie, then whats the problem for talking in game and on vent?

It's an entirely possible idea, but I'd imagine a lot of people could be very hesitant about getting on vent. And MMORPG's and FPS's aren't the only online games either. You've also got games like MUA2 and Heroes of Newerth.

Btw, I technically already have my own vent server lol.

Maybe you guys could also invest into a dedicated server for a game that most of you commonly played as long as you actively tried to fill the server. Also putting in "<Insert Clan Name Here>" "24/7" "Rotation Map" "Network" Server name?

I would be up for chipping in for such a thing. I think TF2 is a good match then. L4D uses its own servers I think, and I am not paying $40 for L4D 2 which is really the same game when you think about it.

The only other game I can think of is Wolf:ET. Hardcore. Wolfenstien Enemy Territory was, and still is, the s**t. Its free, it's modable, it has its own Counterstrike like mod (TC:E or True Combat Elite). I used to play more often then most WoW addicts play WoW. Its been awhile though, and I think the community for ET may have died down. However I could be wrong and it may be thriving. It's a fun game regardless. And it supports up to 64 players on one friggin map.

I mostly play TF2. My only map that makes me E-rage the most yet I still play it because I generally hate different maps. 2Fort...I hate it and love it at the same time.

Again, Wolf:ET. Very low system specs, but can still look great on a half decent system
