Hi Grot,

Quite a few of The Gathering are Swedes; hence, doubtful if the Guild was named after a bunch of LARPERS (could be wrong).

I have only attended a couple of LARP events in my entire life - first year at uni, almost 23 years ago! One noted event held in the wilds of Runcorn, saw my Necromancer arrive a little late (08:00 starts on a Saturday - never going to happen after Friday nights in clubs), to find the only available costume was a long fuchsia dress!

Arm-twisted into wearing said fuchsia dress, my overriding memory of the day were the cries of "KILL THE ONE IN THE PINK DRESS!", thereupon arm in arm with a female player, I was chased across the wilds of Runcorn by a bunch of armour-claded, sword wielding maniacs who were affronted by the sight of a Necromancer wearing a pink dress!

Oddly enough, I've never been tempted to roll up a Necro in EQ. However, my starter tunic for my Inkie Chanter is almost a full-on replica of that goddamn pink dress!
