I'm a high school AP Literature and Psych teacher. I've considered starting up an extra-curricular MMORPG club next year as an anti-club, as my school is nationally ranked in just about every competitive academic club out there.
My goal, of course, is to establish a love for communal gaming, as so many of the online games my students play are, well, you know, the reason why I play p99 exclusively...
I'd love to have all of my students in the same guild, doing ridiculous 14-person newbie raids on Crushbone, the Warrens, etc. and twitching the experience the whole time - or whatever that 'live streaming gamer cam' thing is. I doubt any of my students would have the wherewithal to actually commit to 60, but it'd be super fun to have a two-group raid of toons in the 30s to go hit some of the goofy content. Holding down Royals in Sol B, or breaking into BR in LGuk, would probably be harder for them than anything they're currently doing in gaming... haha.
