theres no grog ingame! :(

That's awesome! :D  My work buddies and I used to have a just-for-fun Horde guild along similar lines called El Taco Truck, on Khaz Modan.  We all had characters named after Mexican cuisine.

The first rule of El Taco Truck is do not talk about Taco Truck.
The second rule of El Taco Truck is do not talk about Taco Truck!!!
The third rule is what happens in Taco Truck stays in Truck, or something like that.

I am disappointed in you Toastie.  :)

Viva la Truck.

- Sir Jalapeno, El Taco Truck guild master

wait...what?

Come to Europe realms!

I Agree. You have many European fan. I mean - Monkey island has many European friends. Can you open an alt on one of the European servers ?
I will personally create a special section of buy a car for Ron Gilbert to sposor you a European account.

On my server (Dragonmaw) both Lechuck and Guybrush are taken.
And it's absurd that Guybrush is a orc and LeChuck is human.

LeChuck is an Undead warlock ! and Guybrush a human rogue ! hello ppl !

This makes me want to play World of Warcraft!

I'd join if I played WoW. Maybe when LOTR Online becomes popular, we can make a Monkey Island guild there.

Also, good title. Sounds like something I'd come up with... because I have! I'm so awesome that I think the same way Ron Gilbert does.

So what happens we run out of names? :)

we wait for Monkey Island 5 (Psst... Ron you hear) and use the new characters inside.

By the way, do the characters in MI4 count? I hope not :D

Love to join but sadly you're on american servers.

You should have called your guild something like "Stan's previously owned Guild" or somethin though.

Is the max no. of possible members (=unique names) know? With all the monkey-hacking that's been done there ought to be a list somewhere.

Now, don't think this gets you out from being a complete traitor. You're still supporting the evil DMCA-wielding Lawyer-infested Empire that is Blizzard.

Guess that banana just taste too good.

Wow (no pun intended). That was as close as I've come to firing up WoW in a monkey's age.

But, alas...nope. Still don't wanna play.

Monkeys in WoW? Hmmmm. Very interesting. There are no monkeys in Lineage II.

I call Kate Capsize!
Though I've only played as horde before. :s

Oh wait, that's a blood elf!  Agh, silly me. =P

Ps- all my online game characters have been named Threepwood. I always get random things like "I love monkey island!" so yeah, people love monkey island.

From the pirates online website:

Are there any special inside jokes that fans might look forward to?

Would any Pirates of the Caribbean game be complete without an appearance by the infamous prison dog?

31 at least there and that's just Secret of Monkey Island. Plenty of possible characters.. but alas you're on the American servers.

We are all so devilishly addicted to WoW.... like monkeys going ape on bananas.

I can imagine it now. Wally the red haired Gnome Engineer.... now if only it was an Alliance guild on a European Server.

I'm just thankful it's based on a game called "money island". Now if that were Monkey Island I'd mortgage my cat and buy an American import version of WoW just to be in it.

What a wonderful idea!  I have never played WoW but I know I will at some point and I would love to join your guild when I do.

Hey, cool idea...
Sad that I am not livin' in US and that I dont really lite MMORPG.
But still very cool =P

Well now I feel like taking the WoW CD out of the box again. Are there insults in WoW like

"You cast spell like a Wesley?" and "How appropriate, you already look like a rat" :)

Hmmm i think the majority of people interested in this would be Europeons which is a bit kack. Secondly I cant see the lasting power of this idea,  maybe just a one off MI event would suffice.

Hey, you made it onto Kotaku.

I am rubber, you are glue

Can I insult other guild members while fighting in PvP?
How appropriate. You fight like a cow!

hello.
I'm spanish (sorry for my english, too bad), 24 years old.
I've grew up listening my friends talking always about the great games of the "monkey island saga", i never could play theses games, because i hadn't a pc. Well, now I have. And they where right, these games are excellent. I am talking about monkey island 1 and 2.
Yesterday I ended monkey island 2 (no hints, seriously), I couldn't move from my pc screen, waiting for anything to happen (don't know what).
I can't remember the last game I enjoyed so much (well, yes, monkey island 1...), so at least, I have to pass to your site and say: "Congratulation, you have create a great thing".
Because computer games are for enjoy, and it seems that many people are forggeting this. Looking only for ultimate graphics... too bad for good games.

So, well, all I have to say is that I am going to play monkey 3 and 4 just to see what other people have done with the saga (and friends of mine keep saying to me, never play monkey 4).

I think I am afortunate, because I have never played such good old game, but don' t know the solutions or story, so I can play them now and enjoy for first time. And you all could belive this: I have played most recent games, and they are horrible compared to these ones, so, sirs, graphics are not all. only a small part.

P.D.: I am watching "Friends" for first time too. I know it is like living for first time the happiers years in front a PC or a TV of many people.

And I am enjoying so much!

Haha great idea :) Here is a useful page for names:

digeridoo-to-you-too

only have a trial account yet (who is expired :(  )

Hi master..do you have msn? if u have can u add me? italdosin@hotmail.com PLZ MASTER!

For anyone curious as to the World of Shoecraf... ehh i mean Warcraft, check out the recent episode of South Park "Make Love not Warcraft." It is pretty close to life for the majority but does use exaggerations occasionaly: depends how much of a craftnut you is.

:7
too bad wow has made own servers for europe and.. stuff.
Guybrush as hunter ? :o He's a rogue ! For sure.

I will reactivate my WoW account! =P

Your guild will never prosper ! You will die alone and forgotten !

Nooooooooooo!

why oh why does this have to be on a US server!!!??!!

Us poor souls in the EU will never know the joy of a MI guild /cry

Ron, I was wondering about what's your opinion on the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean MMORPG?

Hey Junaid :)

K, the last time we got the comments turned off, it was partly because we spammed and something that is so off-topic is spam, I guess. I used to spam. A LOT. LOT LOT LOT. I still do sometimes, and I usually wish I hadn't written 8/10 things I posted.

I'm just trying to be helpful, mind; I want GG to go on, you know, and spam isn't going to really help it.

Sorry if I've offended you.

Shame I'm on the European servers.

I actually wanted to create a guild of undead pirates called "The Suffering Sailors", led by LeChuck of course!

Sigh, i sold my wow account 2 months ago, tired of teenager guilds of raid-stressed-24/7-hardcore-angered kids.
Good luck on that guild, really, games have to fit at us, the players.

Thanks for inviting me to the guild!

Please come to european servers!

How I wish I was american right now... =(

Aw man, how I wish I was on the american servers. I'd probably be Murray, the demented undead warrior, with a body at last X3

"Now I really can STRIDE through the gates of hell with your head upon a pike!"

Awesome, found a guild to join when I finally do decide to give in and play... :)

hi! upload some screenshots about this island or send to me, please. i'd like to see what i've missed :( .

Created a random rolled undead named "Deadbeard" would like an invite though I am willing to reroll using one of the characters names ... jus didn't know what was taken and what was available.

worldpeace,
ben
