Hi Verism, welcome to the community, as for communication we use Teamspeak for raids and discord (https://discord.gg/2KjsPS ) for when people are out and about.
Looking forward to the expansion on Tuesday?
Hi Dano welcome to the community, the only thing you are missing is some sort of avatar, Xoza might make your avatar a pizza pie or something worse, like an Ewok.
Also if you'd like an invite to discord https://discord.gg/VGJayM
Also GW2 and/or TOR are Free to try so could also have gatherings on those games as well. In fact on GW2 it might help to assimilate the new people from Hiro's guild.
Hi Zinnabon welcome to the community, as long as people know you are on call nobody will care if you have to drop out in the middle of something, RL business before gaming.
@CaptainSharkFin has started his brainstorming for the FC narrative in this thread if you have any input on it.
