Much of World of Warcraft can be played solo, even up and past level 70. But if you want to experience some of the broader aspects of the game, then it’s time to start interacting with other players on a social level, especially if you want to continue on to the endgame once you are past level 70. You must have the social skills and the desire to interact with other players. If you can't or won’t be sociable in a group situation, people will not ask you back. You might end up with a bad reputation, and you won't be able to run with the best guilds – all the high end raiding guilds talk to each other, and they know who has a bad rep.
Let me explain. When you go into a dungeon, you will be in a group situation: groups can range from five to 40 people. The group is working toward a common goal; namely, to kill the dungeon bosses and acquire good loot. The best loot comes from the larger dungeons that you encounter after level 70. But to raid in a group situation like that, you'll need a guild: a group of like-minded individuals who group up to raid dungeons at the same time. Guilds are integral to the WoW endgame and helpful to the leveler as well.
While leveling up to 70, you probably would do best in a leveling guild if you‘ve decided that you want to spend more time interacting with other players in the game. These are guilds with other characters who are leveling as well. You can group up to complete quests and run lower-level dungeons. This leveling process is what makes a good team player out of you. You can learn to interact with other classes and learn to play your own class. In a leveling guild, helpfulness is the watchword. You want to be helped, right? So you help others. You can gain a reputation as a nice, helpful, sociable person, and that can also help you gain entree to the next type of guild: the raiding guild.
Raiding guilds are for players above 70 who want to experience larger dungeons like Serpentshrine Caverns. Usually you apply to the guild and they accept you based on your friendliness, commitment to raiding, and what class they need at the moment. You usually must be committed to 3-4 nights a week of raiding (sometimes more), but these guilds are also looking for players they can have fun with. If you click with a guild, you might be able to stay with it for years.
Sometimes you might have a bad guild or a bad group experience: don't get discouraged. After all, the game is virtual, and people often feel free to be rude or mean because they are hiding behind a screen. Don't take it personally if possible, and move on if you need to. World of Warcraft players range from grandparents down to 12-year-old kids; sometimes the kids act more grown-up than the grandparents. In my experience, though, there are ltos of friendly and helpful people in game, and you'll probably encounter many of them. Just make sure you are one as well.
It’s also good to remember that World of Warcraft is what you make of it. It’s your game. You can decide how you want to play it, whether that means solo speed runs through the levels or lots of meandering through the game world while chatting with your friends. This week you might want to see how fast you can get to level 70. Next week, you might want to grab a couple of friends and go exploring. It’s entirely up to you.
