While there is plenty of serious news and questions coming out of the recent release of Wrath… there is a bit of a tangent I need to discuss.
It is something awful that has cropped up that I have been blissfully sheltered from for the last several months. It is the reemergence of the DING. Let me just say I hate it when people say “ding” after they level, I absolutely despise it.
With Wrath out and everyone leveling again our /g is once again filled with people begging for attention over their virtual accomplishments. There are certainly some dings that are less annoying than others. A pre-wrath ding 70 would get a “grats” from me. Now a “ding 80″ will get the same, but that’s about it.
It’s when people ding 47 or 64, or god forbid 12 that really makes me questions peoples sense of accomplishment and need for personal validation by reading a half-hearted “grats.” Personally, I have 5 characters level 60 or higher… now if I said ding every time one of my toons got bathed in yellow light, I would have annoyed my guild mates around 300 times now. With the recent experience nerfs leveling is really not that big of a deal. Sure, enjoy your new abilities, but don’t you don’t need to tell the whole world about it…. or even if you do find a better way to do it.
I really don’t have a problem with people announcing exciting new gear, or a rare crafting recipe, or even a big purchase, at least that stuff is interesting to talk about. But do you really think I care that the number next to you name is one digit higher? Let me just say, I don’t.
With the release of the achievement system every 10 levels is automatically announced anyway, so now there is no need for anyone to say ding anymore… ever.
Please everyone, I implore you, stop saying it. It’s needy and annoying. If you happen to be a member of the Totally Rad Guild, just remember my ability to take away your guild chat privileges is just one click away.

I couldn’t agree more. People need to get the hint already. WE DON’T CARE
By Henry on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
sorry, but i have to say..
DING 72
By Omega on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
lol, owned! i agree, there are way to many people that need a “grats” same with people that level to 80 in 4 days just to hold it over everyone else head in the guild that they got there first. i belive it is because they dont really accomplish much irl, and they want to be better then people in a game that does not count for anything.
it is the same with first post, or bathroom writeing saying nothing but ” so and so was here”. i dont think they understand that no one really cares, or mabe they do and that is what makes them feel bad..
By Voldenmist on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
I can”t say I totally agree w/ you on that. I mean, sure, if you have 5 alts and your sixth just hit lvl 19, no reason to resound on guild chat, but if it’s your main, or possibly your first, it’s something to get excited about. Though I do agree with you on the exp cut backs, dings arn’t anything to get too excited about. I remember back in the good ol’ days before 2.3 when you used to had to have a 3 man team to take down bangeldash (horrible spelling) because he was a nasty elite…then it was custom to “ding” on every lvl because those who were higher than you knew all that you had to go through to get that lvl and those lower than you could look forward to the day they ding that special number and see the grats lined up and feel they’ve contributed something (or will) to the guild. Then again, I’ve always been in smaller guilds where you knew everyone on almost a personal level…so that guy who likes to link [old ironjaw] everytime a acheivement conversation pops up likes to yell ding…well, i could see that as annoying. Idk…I just felt like saying something, though I know it’s complete jibberjabber…hope I helped clear something up from somone’s standpoint of a smaller guild….or made things even more confusing.
By Lasher on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Obviously you care enough to write a whole page about it …
By Voldenmist on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
One more bit…sometimes, after a day of low drop rates, getting ganked, and having to wait for respawns thanks to ninjas…sometimes people need a grats when they’ve overcame not pulling out there hair or that’s the way I see it anyway.
By Darthozzan on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
lol i love writing ding
By Blacktiger on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Wow, way to QQ. It’s a small amount of room being filled in your chat box. If you don’t like it then don’t read it. Also, you obviously must care about it if you write a whole blog about it.
As quoted by Arnold, “Quit acting like a girlyman!”
By Mike Fahy on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
with all due respect Bastosa, I do agree with you even, but people play this game for different reasons. Some do it for the gratification of gaining levels and feel like announcing it to the guild. Personally, i hate the word ding and all it encompasses, but the fact you threaten your guild with taking away chat privileges over a personal preference of yours is something i do not agree with/
By Allenok on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
DING!! 74!
I dont agree. Ding when you level. You earned it. In my guild though, u cant ding till 20. :p
By PatrickD on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Look pal, when I’m off questing alone and there’s nobody around and I FINALLY go up a level, I’m happy. I feel compelled to share the happiness with someone…ANYONE! If I’m going up several levels on a regular basis, I’m not going to go announcing it to the world…but when, as a casual player, I only go up a level every few days (on a really good week), I like to celebrate.
…and no, I won’t announce when I hit a multiple of 10, but if I can plan it, I will say, “Hey guys, check this out…” a second before I turn in that quest that puts me over the line.
I also did that with WotLK: CE. I said, “Want to see something cool?” Then activated my collector’s edition pet which sent the achievement to the guild. This was before 10pm PST on a pacific server, so it instantly made everyone mad. It was fun.
By Brian on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
um…ok well idk about you guys but did you ever think maybe they are new to game and thought “wow i made it to lv 12″ thats big for some people, but even then no matter what lv as long as you lv ten i think its an accomplishment and i will always say gratz no matter what and if you disagree with me and hate it keep it to your self and ignore it theres no reason that some one shouldn’t say ding when they reach a lv just deal! if you don’t care then why make it big deal, just go with it.
ps: don’t want to sound meen but its my opinion and I’m entitled to it.
By Scott on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
wow, enough to make me not want to be in The Totally Rad Guild…get over yourself already.
By Alex on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I personally love it when people say Ding.
It shows they got to their next level and they are now on their way to the next, getting even closer to 80…and everyone in my Guild says Gratz even if it is a level 10 Alt that just dinged.

By Zaraken on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Never been a person to mention anything when leveling except when hit the end level 70 or now would be 80. I usually say grats to someone who levels in my instance group if I hear it. Now gear, recipes, etc can lead into some better discussions and comments to go along with the grind.
By Taskun on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I must say I dont agree. If it is somone’s first toon and they ding every 5 levels or so I dont mind congratulating them on their new acomplishment. Or if somone dings 60, 70 or 80 it is an accomplishment and I will congradulatie them. BUT thoes who have alts and Ding constently as they level really annoy me. Especialy the ones (new or not) that EXPECT congratulations upon leveling. Its a get over yourself sort of thing. I’m currently in a guild thats leveling to 80 with 40 or so regulars so we dont get it too often. I congratulate people when they ding and forget about it. Whenever I ding I dont expect a congratulations, poeple are busy but i always thank people that do. But its simply my opinoin, do with it as you will. ^_^

Hehe, I knew I would be stirring the hornets nest with this one…
By CSJenova on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
haha Bastosa. I can empathize, but I have to say, I think reading the comments was more entertaining than the article
By Henry on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
hahahah Frosty is the bestest pet in the world!
By DeadlySlow on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Most of the time I am so immersed in the game, I don’t read the chat panel, so I personally am no affected by this new plague. I do feel for you, bro. and do solemnly swear not to abuse announcing my dinging. (dungs?)
I do love the new emote /ding
By Mctucker on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Steve Bastosa rules with an Iron Hoof.
And seriously, I mute anyone that says ding in /gchat. No one cares. Didn’t we actually make that a guild rule Bast? What if people did the equivalent of this IRL. If my co-workers shouted out Sale! everytime they made one, I would probably shoot someon by the end of the day. Its bad enough that I have to see every stupid achievement in guild chat now. I could care less if some nub shaman fully explored Westfall. (*cough* Juggy) Whats worse is the people that say grats evertime someone gets one of these “acheivements”. Lets end the cycle here, and just stop saying Grats all together. From now on I propose anytime someone anounces a WoW related acheivement in gchat, we respond with a great big “Fuck You!”
By CSJenova on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Mctucker, if you read this again, you can turn off those announcements. I forget where exactly it is, but I saw it on mmo-champion a while back in the forums. It is somewhere under the interface options.
By Blacktiger on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
oh yeah guys i dinged 74 last night! Isn’t that soooo cool. I love saying the word “ding.” It’s awesome.
ding
ding
ding
When I hit 80 I will shout from the mountain tops of Icecrown, ‘DING 80!”
Get over it. It’s a game. Some people play it because they like gaining levels, and who cares if they want to share every single one with somebody, or a guild.
By Hoofhearted? on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
ding is nothing. what really gets me, and i think it must just be some dumb ass european thing, but people “round these parts” tend to say “gz”. feckin G-Z. what the fack is that?! i find it insulting. if you can’t be arsed to at LEAST write “grats”, you might as well not say anything. it’s like writing lol when you really aren’t laughing out loud.
that and y for yes. y is for why and even then you should only be taking the piss out of people who say “y”. or “gz”.
god i hate everyone. idiots.
By Vozzy on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
That’s stupid, just because someone says, ‘ding!’ doesn’t mean they are saying they’ve just earned a REALLY tough level. They’re just saying they leveled. They are not begging for attention. They are not trying to be annoying. They are simply saying they leveled. If you are seriously saying you’ll take away someones guild chat privileges just because someone says ‘Ding!’ at level 12, I’m glad I’m not in your guild.
Loosen up.
By Shaun on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Hehe, sorry Bast
I just assumed that’s how Warcraft people were supposed to talk. I’ll save all my self-pat-on-the-backs till 80 
By Matt on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I can live with guildies or RL friends saying ding, but for the random people in gen chat…NO ONE CARES
By Holydos on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Ding I’ve hit lv 255… oops. Lol
I had to do that.

By Grant on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
My friends DK everytime he levels he goes DING level 68 and then this little face ^_^..Whats does that mean?
By Shaun on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
It means he wishes he were an anime character or something. “Is that a good idea? Ohhhhhhhh?”
By BurceMage on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I dont see realy anything wrong whit that, there more non sense that goes on in the Trade chat that i would love too get rid of, im Alliance. Then just a “Ding” and “Gratz”.
I find the trade chat drives me nuts too start off whit, you got something too Auction put in the AH and shut up about it, if we want it we will buy it from there and if we dont it mean you asking too mutch for it. And the Enchant,ect Spam that goes on.
Come on your gona let a little “Ding” bother ya.
I feel if you gona make a Blog make a good one at least, complain about the Trade chat i know that the most annoying thing i see in all
By Wringo on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
DING 2
By Daemonbane on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
I think that if it’s your main toon than sure “DING” all you want but if its an alt and you scream Ding at lvl 2 or 34 its really kinda pointless. So i only ding on alts that reach lvl 60 or 70.
By BurceMage on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Ahhh yea DING
By Omega on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:29 pm

By Shaun on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I think I figured it out. If you’re not at the level cap, ding does not bother you. If you are, you fucking hate it to no end. I think…
By Feralface on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
To all the people who say this post makes you not want in the Totally Rad Guild, GOOD. We don’t want you. Ding is the most annoying thing to type in guild chat and serves no purpose. Act like you’ve leveled before. If people realize you’ve leveled and congratulate you, then good. Enjoy your moment in the sun. But for fuck’s sake, I dont give a shit that you’ve leveled from 55 to 56. The achievement system will let us know when you achieved a milestone level.
My $.02
By Holydos on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
But it is funny to see people curse at you for saying DING.
It would be better if you cursed at the person who yelled Ding in Guild Chat. lol
By goliath553 on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Agreed! Don’t care about your progress. …. Like seriously I dont give a fuck.
By Robinwolf on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Hi
Robinwolf GM of the Knights of Radshire the feeder guild for TRG. Just to let you know we encourage people to say ding and anything else they find fun.
Guilds are supose to support their players and contribute to the players fun level not sit around making up stick up the butt rules and writting articles alienating half of their guild.
“That’s stupid, just because someone says, ‘ding!’ doesn’t mean they are saying they’ve just earned a REALLY tough level. They’re just saying they leveled. They are not begging for attention. They are not trying to be annoying. They are simply saying they leveled. If you are seriously saying you’ll take away someones guild chat privileges just because someone says ‘Ding!’ at level 12, I’m glad I’m not in your guild.
Loosen up.”

By Skiddy on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Honestly.. ding is the LEAST annoying of things WoW players say. Saying you don’t care about anybodies virtual accomplishments is kind of a big reach, considering everything in WoW is virtual. You kind of have to take into account that a lot of players don’t have the best social lives, so yeah, they would like attention. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that at all! I’m reforming a guild this month, and I’m always stoked when somebody in my guild levels up, if they’re happy, I’m happy and that’s what a guild is all about. If you don’t care about their accomplishments, you don’t really deserve a guild. Go enjoy your daily/rep grinding alone.
By Skiddy on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 11:09 pm

Just read this part…. you’re one hell of an awful guild officer.

@Robinwolf. We are also glad you arent in the main guild.

the whole DING and Gratz orginaly comes from Everguest 2 where when you gained level sond was clear ding
and in Zul’Gurub Bloodlord Mandokir gains level when he kills players and says: DING! and some random troll yells: GRATS!
By Vên on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 1:51 am
Note, in TRG they have the rank “Canadian” for people who they don’t like. You say something Talonni doesn’t like,… canadian… (you’re muted in guild). If you like that, 3 cheers for you Bastosa!
By Dylan Campbell on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 1:51 am
maybe if u guys cry about it some more

all i heard was waaaaaaaa
By Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 2:15 am
I fully agree with you.
My guild’s reasonably large and also has a policy that allows as many alts as you like. If someone announces ding in gchat imagine how fast it scrolls off with all the variants of ‘congratulations’. And with all respect, we all went to the same leveling process. While you may feel your achievement warrants some special congratulations, it is not much different from anyone else’s.
Not that my guild limits, restricts or encourages it, but I am not contributing to it.
By Jasper on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 3:02 am
DING
eventhough i agree with you i couldnt resist
By stupid kids ruined WoW on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 3:15 am
Someone who “dings” on a regular basis is a sad, sad person. How desperate and lonely must one be, to feel that something so insignificant is worthy of others’ attention ?
As you already know dear dingers, few people give a fuck about your amazing accomplishment. So why insist ? You either want to annoy us, or you’re so utterly stupid that you think we’ll eventually care. Well, we never will.
At lvl 54 you’re still the same average nobodies that you were at lvl 1.
If you need attention so bad, please do something with your lives (yes, in the real world) and stop looking for love and appreciation in a videogame.
By Shaun on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 5:11 am
Wow, TRG vs. KoR much?

Poor Bast…so many people against him, and quite rudely by some I might add. /smirk
If people feel like wasting guild chat with a ,ehem, “ZOMG!!!! DING!!!” There is only a simple solution…./ignore Asswipe.
By Ideiotch on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 6:19 am
Not only the word ding makes me angery, but its the people who say “grats” who grind my gears. if you really cared that somone else, not yourself, gained a level why dont you just type out congragulations. is it really that hard? are people really that lazy? i mean sure ill say cangragulations to a freind who just hit 70/80 but honestly unless they do that i put them on ignore. i have about 500 people on ignore and im not satisfied yet.
By Hatredy on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 6:36 am
To Bast, I usually love your blog post but this one seems more like just a rant rather than anything productive or insightful. To some extent I agree, lvl 30 , lvl 60, lvl 70 u should say ding but lvl 71-80 should be also these are big feast for some people getting a over a million experience. In my guild, which is another pod cast guild, encourages it. Our guild leaders have a Mod called guild greet which give a automated message that someone dinged.
I know that’s TRG is your guild and i have no say in how it’s run but I can have an opinion. Taking guild chat away just for saying just screams dictator emphasis on DIC.
By mac on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 7:53 am
What a toolbag. As public as this blog is, do you really want to be the guy known as the douche that can’t get over “Ding”? Lighten up. It sounds like the feeder guild is a fun place to be. TRG? No thanks…
By Attral on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 8:13 am
When I leveled in Vanilla Wow, I was in a guild of friends that had carried over from another mmorpg. Because of the tight knit group, we did care about each others achievements as it played into our general progression as a guild. I personally only did it on multiples of 10, but really even anything past 40 in the beginning took awhile. I took a break before BC came out and only got back into WoW this summer. I wasn’t guilded as I leveled to 70, so dinging wasn’t possible. I recently joined a new guild and “dinged” in gchat for the first time in a long time. It’s a new guild that is forming up players to be able to do endgame raiding in wotlk. I didn’t ding for the gratz (although I did thank people who did), but rather to inform the guild that I am making an effort to make it to 80 as quickly as possible for the guild. If I were unguilded, I would probably take my time leveling up professions and my death knight.
With a large, established guild like The Totally Rad Guild, I can understand why the guild leadership might restrict dinging due to the sheer volume making it more spam that true information. The appropriate way to enforce this would be to explain why it is not conducive to guild chat. Instead, Bastosa issues a threat and Feralface spews out scything remarks, The Totally Rad Guild appears to be anything but rad. You guys come off as insolent jerks! Knights of Radshire, on the other hand, is totally rad in my opinion.
By macbethy on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 8:21 am
I couldn’t agree more, however i do think that the old 70 now 80 ding is ok.
By Weasellord on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 8:24 am
Bast the r worse things in WoW than ding….dirge is 1 of them…
oh and DIIIIIIIIIIIING! X3
@ Feralface go Fuck ur wall
TRG? mor like Big WAAAAAAAAH guild
By Drstealth on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 8:40 am
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on ding. If you want to have a guild policy on it’s use, then by all means do so.
The one thing I have taken away from this discussion is that Feralface is wound a bit to tight and I personally think he/she is giving his/her guild a bad name.
By Shaun on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 8:49 am
I’d say there’s a lot of haters posting comments, but they can’t spell, so they don’t count
And for the record, there’s no “e” in angry. Are isn’t spelled “r”. You isn’t spelled “u”. Come on people.
By Virago on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 9:03 am
Sure, if you just say it to get attention or rub it on people’s noses, then yeah, keep it to yourself. But some do find it a real achievement to reach certain levels and are so happy they dinged that they want to “share the happiness”. Call it naive, but some people do that. However those people also can’t realistically imagine oneself what others would think >.>
However there’s no reason to get this pissed off about others saying ding. You should just ignore and move on >.> The game doesn’t involve around them just as much as it doesn’t involve around you. I’d say give it a good night sleep before you decide to make it a guild-regulation. If you let that regulation be based on anger/frustration, you’re no better than them.
By Marchell on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 9:07 am
I don’t want your ding. I don’t need your ding. Get your ding out of my face!
STOP SLAPPING ME AROUND WITH YOUR DING!!!
By Vexklythor on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 9:40 am
What a pompous, arrogant douche pump. If I type a ding in guild chat, you’re going to take away my guild chat privileges? Jawohl, mein Fuhrer!!!! I bow to your epic forum troll failure.
If only there was a way to /ignore Bastosa’s childish, whiny ranting from here on out.
By Nylow on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 10:17 am
Oh, Bast, what have you started. I think the rest of the posts made my day on just how everyone feels. Whether they are just playing devils advocate or not.
Ah well, you can’t please them all. Nothing wrong with a rant in my view. Sometimes you just need to get it off of your chest.
Subject for next rant - When the HELL are they going to fix the LFG channel?!?! Or have requirements for the Trade channel. I can’t talk to anyone in Party or Guild if I am in a major city. Damn people!!
By stupid kids ruined WoW on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 10:17 am
@ Vexklythor
We have the right to dislike giddy losers who basically beg for a pat on the back every time they do something mundane like gaining a level.
Be considerate and announce your incredibly heroic deed only at 60, 70 or 80.
Oh, and Bastosa’s rant isn’t childish. Your nazi reference is.
By penrose on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 10:26 am
Everyone bitching about how mean Bastosa is … you *know* you want to raid with them and you would at the drop of a hat.
If you are a serious raiding guild, like it seems this one is, saying ding is the pure equivalent of saying “I am a total noob - i will pwn you with my one green item that makes me OP over you with all white NPC gear.”
For a serious raider, leveling is not interesting other than people learning how to play their character for a raid or pvp.
If you want to say ding if your /g, dont join a serious raid guid. If you DO want to say ding in /g, join one of the random guilds that fade away after a few months and say ding all you want. Or dont join a guild at all and just say /1 ding. that way you can get your happiness out there for your accomplishment and Bastosa and other serious raiders can turn off the channel or /ignore . There, now everyone is happy.
By zat on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 10:55 am
I cant beilve this has made it on to your home page as a news item. You need to get a grip of yourself and stop thinking your so self important. So what if they say ding there is an ignore channel you know. So stop waisting my time posting lame as crap like this.

@penrose: well said.
I still consider myself a new player, and I’m in a questing/leveling guild. We say ding; I say ding. We encourage it.
That said, I understand how a raiding guild would not be amenable to it. I’m not sure if removing chat privileges is a method of discipline I’d agree with, but if it’s an acceptable form within the guild, then who am I to criticize your guild management?
It’s easy to turn this into a guildvsguild thing, but the two guilds have different goals. I’ll admit it, I’d love to join TRG on raids - and I encouraged Harue to join because I knew he wanted to. I respect the guild rules you all have imposed, after all, all rules have a reason, even though we may disagree with them.
Until I don’t feel like a new player… I will not be comfortable joining a raiding guild.
I still remember, when I first started playing, when I first joined k Randalthorr dinged 70… I remember being so excited for him.

@stupid kids ruined WoW
My nazi reference is childish? I can see why it’s so mature to take away guild chat privileges for saying a “clean” four letter word. If that’s one of the guild rules, I’ll stay being childish.

Damn, did’nt you mother love you enough as a child Bastosa? grow up or shut up
By Killboy on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 11:55 am
I’m not sure what the big fuckin deal is….in my experience most ppl say ding to let you know they lvled and thats it, so if that really pisses you off, get over it. Most of the time i’m too busy actually playing the game than staring at /g to even notice, and if i do notice, then i’ll throw out a grats, who cares….but on the other hand, the ppl that lvl once but say it like 4 or 5 times just to get some attention kinda piss me off, but like i said i’m usually to busy playin to really notice….with all that being said, theres 2 types of ppl who say ding……figure out who’s what before /gkicking or removing /g priveleges……just my opinion
By Twest on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
as far as the whole ding and grats bullshit, i dl’d 2 addons to make the comments for me, if i ding it announces somethin 1/2 way worth reading and if some1 else dings it says grats (whoever) only so many more lvls togo. and i also agree that for those of us casual players who take multiple days to lvl fuck an a diddy i will DING 72 when i finally get it in about 5 more hrs of played time
By Oggrillain on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Well Damn!?…it must have been a slow day at the office for this blogg to make it on home page. Opinions are like assholes…everyone has one. Bastosa (and all others in agreement) if the word “DING” annoys you that much then simply respond with a gentle and caring “FUCK YOU!!”. This response will let the “DINGER” know that you are not particularly interested in their announcement of a so-called achievement. I, myself, am not particularly interested in the leveling achievements of others unless they went from 1-80 in 48 hours. Now that is an achievement worthy of exclamation in guild chat! Or, “I single-handedly bent Lady Vashi over a rock and pumped her like a three dollar whore and I posted the video on You-Tube,” would be another accomplishment worthy of sharing with your guild mates.
Yes the “DING” gets old pretty quick, but it is nice to let people have their 10 seconds of self-worth.

this is my third post, just wanted to say after reading all the comments i still think you’re right. they seem to have went from turds to mouth breathers sence i last posted, lets see if this post gets some window lickers.
By Shaun on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 1:48 pm
This stuff is great. Keep up the excellent work Bast
I look forward to raiding with you 
By bill gates on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
1st off…your an ass and second after reading what you had to say i thought man what an ass and i felt sorry for your guild mates then i read from some of your other guild mates and now i know you are all asshole. and this is the last time http://www.projectlore.com will be seen on my com. your vid’s where not that great anyway and your blogs where only good for a good lol.
By Omega on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 3:35 pm
you dont honestly think that they care if one person stops watching there shows, that is like someone calling up walmart and saying i will never buy your product again. they say they care, but do you acually think they do?
By BurceMage on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 4:09 pm
haha, i have watch there Show’s and didnt see anything great about them realy, most of them suck anyways, so they can have there Guild realy. I Ran whit better guild then this one, like Underscore,Vision, Edge Top Raiding guild that Make TRG look like Noobs realy.
But im not Blaming the Guild , But too let you know As guildy they have the ability too basicly make this guild look like a Pug group with 2 Click buddy.
You have too remember it’s not the Officer that make the guild. It’s everyone else that does, Officer are usaly just a small handfull, and hopefuly there not asshole like Bastosa if i was a the GM i would remove his Privilage, Remeber this Site was created too help New player in this game, What kind of message are you saying now too new player, stating this kind of comment. The way i see it , New player are going too be too scared or wont wana play.
So if this site is about helping new player get Bastosa off this Blog because he is not helping at all, instead putting people down because there proud or happy about leveling.
So Juggy if you read this bro i would kinda talk too you officer about posting stuff like this because that make TRG look very bad.
I do have my own guild as well and i support this because it make the guild stronger and make a more fun enviroment.
By Burcemage on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Hey hey i just noticed you Ranked 6 now in Wow Armory what happen bud. Nice Work Juggy
By Bastosa on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Wow, overreact much guys? ☺
While I wrote this with the intention of being controversial, I certainly did not expect people to take it as personally as they did. Please try and think just a little bit before you start calling me, in a few cases, incredibly offensive names.
A little civil discourse goes a long way.
Despite the use of hyperbole, I figured most of you would understand my point. While I do get annoyed by people dinging, I never have, nor do I plan to punish anyone over it. k?
This blog is simply meant for me to talk about what is on my mind, and hopefully do it in an entertaining and somewhat compelling way (I try anyway). It is not news, and is not meant to be anyone’s opinion other than my own. This post was meant to be fun, any anyone that knows me from my guild knows it was not a threat (perhaps just a poor choice of venue for an inside joke).
Of course Juggy read this before it was posted, and obviously he didn’t change my guild rank over it! Please have a little common since and take this with a grain of salt. This game (and this blog) is supposed to be fun!
(reapplies flame retardant)
By Feralface on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
It is aboslutely amazing how many people flame Bast without knowing him. He is a good guy and is probably the most non-confrontational person in the guild. Anyone who has made an attempt to group with us in the guild know we are a bunch of peeps that like to joke around and progress in the WoW realm. Simply coming on here and making broad general statements about someone you dont know shows your intelligence and lack thereof.
To the people who say they run guilds and flamed Bast for this blog and stated they will not be watching this cast anymore: Sorry we are not as uber-1337 as you. Start your own show and display to all us noobs how its done. Then we will bow to your awesomeness and pray that we can be as good of wow-players as you.
And to people who commented on the wow-armory ranks in our guild: We have like 13 different ranks. There really is no officers in the guild. Only ones who can invite and who can’t. Juggy is the only one who can demote or kick, so he is the end-all be-all on decisions.
TRG is a fun guild and I am glad to be a part of it.
Oh, and I am an uptight asshole who demeans people on a daily basis. Especially McTucker. He’s a douche.
By Omega on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 6:46 pm
@ Bruce Mage, the comments you made make you look like a douche bag. but sadly you did not post the name of your guild. I will tell you one thing, everyone has the right to express there say, weather you like it or not. the fact that you seem to think that everyone should run there guild the same as you, is possable the dumbest idea i have ever heard. aparently i am not the only one that thinks your a pig, as you clearly stated going through three guilds and now you have your own. so please in the future leave your selfglorified comments for people who acually care what you think.
By Omega on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 6:50 pm
long live the legendary Steve Bastosa!
By Burcemage on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Yea but you know before posting a blog like this you should chose your word, i would of never done this too my guild, and my guild is Hangin With My Gnomies. I was GM of this guild and because i could not put as much time as i gave the guild GM too one of my officers. I do appreciate the comment Bastosa that you posted and that make you look a lot better in my mind, maybe you should of posted that earlier but never the less it’s good you did.
For Omega for the other guild i have never been whit the guild them self i know the GM and officer of the guild, i have Real life friend that are in these guild too let you know. Hangin whit my gnomies was my first guild i join and i was ask too join other guilds and refused them as well because i like my guild and would not abbadone my friends that are in this guild. We where 3 ppl that built this guild from scratch. Im very proud of the guild. My point is when it come too a point someone says that there gona resctrict chat too a persone because he says DING is just insane and should not be done like that.
Why as a game it becomes soo serious, i play this game because i enjoy too play and come on this site because i liked the ppl playing the instance and thought there where pretty nice. but after a blog like this you kinda tell yourself well is it a act because it’s going too be on video for everyone too watch.
But thanks Bastosa for the reply and i do appreciate that you are not like that but in the future blog like this would not reflect good on a Guild officer or Guild them self.
Now i dont understand why im a douche bag because you have ppl in here that called this guild worst name and Bastosa worst names. Like you said i said my opinion and im aloud too it just like Bastosa did.
So who is the douche bag now Omega.
I have nothing against TRG but a reply like this sooner would of been better for everyone in my own mind.
Im not the best Raider myself i just said that i ran whit these guild and there hardcore raider im saying that you dont threat ppl like that just because there glad that they Ding a level that was my point.
No harm no Foul, im not even on your server guys so it dont bother me.
Was just stating my opinion just like Omega said.

By Omega on Friday, November 21st, 2008 at 9:55 pm
to my dear friend Brucemage, yes to express your say is great,; but do not flame someone for what they say just because you dont think it is right. that fact that he didnt like it when people said ” ding” and you are the one who had a melt down here, so it still makes you look like a douche. you could have said simply i dont agree with it, and left it at that. i personaly dont think bast should have had to apolgise, but sadly that is how life is one person makes a big stink; and politics starts. it makes your guild look bad, because for your aparent claim of not sweating the small stuff; you sure as hell blow up on this one. i would never want to be in the same room as you if religion came up or politics, in guild chat. good lord, you would probley track me down and kill me in the night. i am defending bast’s ability to have an say, the comments that you made about the show were out of line, but hmm i dont seem to see any apoligy from you. imagine that.
By Fobok on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 4:05 am
Ignoring the whole other side of the debate that’s crossed up, I just want to comment the only part of ‘ding’ I dislike is the word itself.
The word dates back to EverQuest (the original, not EQ2 like some claim). Every time I hear people say ding, I think of that game and the pain of levelling in it. And I dislike anything that makes me think of that game.
By vindev on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 4:54 am
For too long in the TRG we’ve been victimized by Steve Bastosa and been too scared to speak up. Well, I for one refuse to carry this burden inside any longer. The Totally Rad Guild is a cesspool; it is a breeding ground of hate, pederasty, elitism, and poor table manners.
I levelled through Burning Crusade as a Feral druid, but collected a few pieces of caster gear along the way. As a proud member of the Bastosa Youth, it was expected of me that I respec Resto to utilize my “off-set” the day I reached 70 (but as was understood under no circumstances was I to announce such an event in guild chat for fear of being sent to the TRG labor camps in Silithus or Winterspring).
However, I announced in /g that I was experimenting with Balance instead of Resto. Fuhrer Bastosa exploded. He demoted me to the Nigerian rank in the guild which is incapable of speaking in guild chat, levelling, entering an instance, or even logging into WoW at all. He forced me to steal Project Lore fan identities and post moronic comments under their online aliases on this very website. For five long years I was brutally flogged, waterboarded, and denied shotgun privileges on munchies runs. To this day I am unable to lift my off-hand above the bank counters in Shattrath or Dalaran and employ a young Filipino boy to do such tasks for me at great expense to my already meager income, now diminished by my crippled daily quest earning capacity.
Twice I attempted escape, but was caught before tasting the sweet freedom of the general channel. Once I tried to end my own life by leaping from the top of the spire above G’eras only to be bubbled mere feet from release off this cruel mortal coil by none other than S. Marcus Bastosa.
The world must know! We cannot abide these atrocities another day. Grand Wizard Bastosa is impossible to appease. His lust for dead babies and the blood of newborn kittens is insatiable, and his taste for deflowering freshly recruited guild members is infamous.
I fear it is too late to stop him. I only hope he and the rest of the TRG can be contained.
By Feralface on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 6:28 am
Brilliant, Vindev. Brilliant.
By Snaggly on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 am
Haha, fuck I love flame wars.
Bast never said that he would take away your guildchat privileges for saying ding, you people read that he COULD do it and therefore it meant to you that he would and he is clearly a giant ass and all that is wrong with this world.
I do happen to hate ding and everything about it (I just left a guild because it was promoted and there was 100 level 20 or below toons which resulted in a clusterfuck of Dinging and Gratz) how ever it is important to some people (lesser people, but still people I guess). I think a good compromise is say every 5th you can say ding but are not obligated to. This is the achievements getting announced on guildchat should be a good compromise. Thats my opinion anyways.
@Vindev, you just made my day
@Bastosa - Sorry you’re going through all this shit because people misinterpreted something you said, can’t take a joke and feel that calling you names lie “asshole and hitler”
@Feralface - Your comments made the whole thing better
By El on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 8:37 am
lmfao Way to go Bastosa, like throwing a match into a pool a gasoline.
I personally agree that in a raiding guild it isn’t a big deal leveling, as it is we will know when you hit 80 because of the achievement announcement, but if someone says ding in our guild chat it isn’t a something we get upset about. We give out our congratulations and move on. Most of us are too busy trying to quest or grind to 80 to announce it all the time when we level anyway so it really isn’t a big deal to us when someone says it.

By Froinlaven on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
All i have to say is pre Burning crusade a level 57-60 got a grats… with burning crusade lvl 67-70 got grats with WotLK level 77-80 will get grats. DOES IT REALY MATTER IF SOMEONE ANOUNCES TO THERE GUILD THAT THEY LEVELED!
By Burcemage on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 9:54 am
@Omega, Kissing Ass are ya, lmao bro i said what i had too say, i got a reply and im happy now if you want too keep going be my guess but i just spoke my mind. And Yes i would hunt you down(LOL) just because i dont have anything better to do.
By Umjibwe on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Wow, lots of TRG peeps running damage control right now. Seems like the backlash from this post has mustered up the hive. Settle down, TRG, nobody really cares if you’re guild is full of assholes or not.
By teddy on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
people only want others to care if its their ding…. if its someone elses ding, no one gives a rats ass…
i personaly get excited when my DK dings, (70 atm) and some others are in my guild ( L E G I O N). Some others dont…i dont care if they do or not, but i do admit seeing our highest level ding closer and closer to 80 does get annoying.
but also seeing the low level noobs hit 8 9 10 11…uggg hit 15 they u get a ding every 5 levels or so should desirve a ding IMHO
By Feralface on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Our guild is full of assholes, me being one of them. We happen to be assholes that enjoy playing the game with each other.
By jhez on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
in the name of the guy who said ding first, plz don’t get upset when people on WoW say ding. We just don’t have lives to go out and live.
By ryan on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 pm
if you wanna get annoyed with someone get annoyed with the people who say anal (ability). thats freaking annoying, ding isnt really all that bad, i dont go out of my way to congrats someone but i someimes throw in the friends yay in g chat for someone if no one responds to there ding
By Shaun on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 7:54 pm
I love how *this* is the post that people reply to. I wish all the blog posts got over 100 replies. All I could ask for is a little proofreading before you hit submit. I imagine all these people that apparently type with their elbows are the same people that leave the house and forgot to wear pants. There’s such a thing as internet etiquette and the majority of you are failing. Hard.
By Roi on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Ding Level 1.
By Alayea on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 10:32 pm
@Shaun
I didn’t even notice that this blog post had over a 100 until you pointed it out.
Back to the subject at hand, I don’t mind if someone says “Ding!” in the gchat. If I see it, I’ll say “Grats” because, odds are, it’s a guildie that’s not as active as myself and some others are. If that’s not the case, then it could be because the guy/gal is in the level 71-80 range (I went from lvl. 73-75 in one day myself o.O).
Granted, my guild isn’t very a big one and is mostly socializing (though we still do guild events), so I understand your perspective, Bastosa.
Even though I disagree with you.
By Trontor on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 3:02 am
I am in the Knights of Radshire and was thinking about switching to your guild even though its been 3 weeks of trying to talk to someone and noone ever answers. Way to be something to look up to. Especially with this post.
By JackJeckel on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 3:35 am
Ok first i couldn’t even finish reading the comments. I got half way and gave up. Second you guys didn’t really take him seriously on this did you? I mean come on now you have been reading their blogs for how long? Have been watching their episodes how long? Do you really think that any of these guys are serious on what they say? They joke around, they play, thats what makes this such a hit. I’ve been reading and watching this website since i found out it was being created back in June. When have they every been seriously angry like this? I wont flame anybody and i wont agree but all i do have to say is great work guys keep up the interesting shows and blogs, i know i would hang out with you if the chance arose. Good luck and if you don’t have your own opinion then what separates us in life?
@ Bast - Bad ass Pally Power
lol
@ Juggy - I care you discovered all of westfall
@ Alex - Love the fact that you brought this show to us.
@ Feralface - “Druids tank with their FACE. Druids cannot parry.”
@ Zand - Saw you at Blizzcon man no offence but you are very short, not a bad thing tho lol
@ Goggins - you play a very strange characters on the shows i see you in but hey no publicity is bad publicity right?
@ Lyle - You have got to be one of the most relaxed tanks i’ve ever seen
As for the rest of you i don’t know your all cool too lol
And for the people who flame me for this… well we all know where your place is…..7th circle…. }:)
-Jack
By michaelmdw on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 5:01 am
1 thing adout dinging is that you know you get up decide to play to play some WOW befor you go to the bus and thers just you and that 44 and he gets to 45 and says ding and you say grats and then thers that long aocward sylince that comes after or he trys to “make frends” with you wich is even more aocward ( sorry for spelling)
(and it just acoured to me no one will read this makes me fell i little sad in side)
By lvl 80 and beyond on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
Sorry dude, no sympathy from me. If your guildies want to say ding everytime they level (especially the lower lvl ones that are just starting game), then more power to them.
Considering the lack of enjoyment associated with the low level grind now that most people are in Northend, they need all the encouragement they can get.
Taking someones guild chat privileges away just for saying “ding” is both overly authoritative and unreasonable. Just say “gratz” or ignore it, rather than making a QQ rant about it.
No disrespect intended =)
By skowl on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
bastosa you weiner omg! its a game and some kids like to say ding so what? ding is a very common thing to say in WoW, and i dont think you make a post will stop it. so stop the wein and play the game
By Feralface on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Durids can parry, we have big claws. lolz
Feral
Btw, grats to Bast for the most commented on blog on Projectlore.com
By Rynox on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 6:54 pm
To ding, or not to ding, that is the question. Honestly, I think it depends who is doing it. If it’s a new player, and their first toon, by all means give us a ding. If you have 6 characters level 70+ and your newest alt gets to 30, please do not ding.
I haven’t put a ding in guild chat since my main hit 70 back in January ‘08. To do that with my alts just feels wrong. Though I have to admit, when I leveled to 71 running quests in Borean Tundra around 4:30am EST, I did emote a ding quietly and smiled to myself, just happy to be playing the new content.
By therockness on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
i ding just to get on my friends’ nerves. xP
so i only do it when they’re online. and in whispers.
i guess that makes me a somewhat considerate person……maybe….
By grillbar on Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 5:33 am
Bastosa you might complaine about poeple saying ding
but theres one thing i hate more everytime someone got an achievement they had to post it i dont care that you finaly did all 130 of borean tundra keep it to your self even yesterday where you got a feet of strenght just by loggin in they had to post i
“Name” has earned the achievement 4th annual…
oh really that must have been har to get cuz all you needed to do was log in
the guild got angry at me when after they alle have spammed that then i just wroke the 21 achievements i got that was aparently a problem but not writing that you got a feet of strenght that everybody els in the guild that was only allready got
GOD I HAVE THE SPAM
but you are still right about the ding i will say ding when im lvl 80 but not at any other lvl
3 more lvl’s to go
By Komodovaran on Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Honestly, that seems like a big deal out of a very small comment.
My guild is a social raiding guild, and we congratulate everyone that levels up. To me, when someone spends several hours levelling up, taking the time to post 5 characters is not a problem.
By Barduck on Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
In the guild I’m in (a raiding guild) dinging is alowed. Hell, I even have an addon dinging for me with funny messages. We all say gratz when we’re not to busy, even for an achievement. Why wouldn’t you? People pay to play the game, if they wanna say ding it’s their right as a paying customer. If any1 would inforce such stupid rules on me, well they better start paying my bill then. /gquit isn’nt that long to type. Never guessed that TRG was such an unsocial guild. It’s not because you raid (poorly, kara? lol,noobs) that you can’t be social
By Alexencandar on Monday, November 24th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Agreed, saying it outside of guild doesn’t make much sense.
In guild however, I can see a number of reasons it is important to inform your cohorts of your new status:
1; Perhaps someone in your guild wants to do an instance and you are the only tank/healer/dps online, that new level could make your participation in said instance viable
2; The guild is running some sort of contest or race to the next level, or you want to rub it in their face, as they will do to you in some future contest without a doubt.
3; Ok so I only have 2.

By Eras on Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Thank You Bastosa! I agree with you completely. I’m sick and tired of my guild chat filled with everyone saying “ding” and “woot” and pausing and waiting for people to congratulate them. And if no one does they will just spam “ding” until someone does. You would think seeing the achievement pop up for them would be good enough.
By Oskar "Miggo" Anjou on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 at 9:42 am
WOSH there was a lots of comments!
I couldn’t agree more. I say ding to one or two persons. But im allways competing with them! Never ever in /g sincie it is a RP server. Not in any channel! Just stop ding if it isn’t 80… Thank you.
By Ding Pastrana on Friday, December 19th, 2008 at 6:04 pm

THANK YOU
By Sandaral on Monday, August 3rd, 2009 at 1:05 pm
I have a mod that does that, and I mean to uninstall it, but I don’t, because my guild doesn’t really mind, and it can be a nice way to get conversation started.
Really, I don’t think it is so major a problem the requires muting the person in question. If it bugs you, ignore it.
I might just think this because I’m in such a huge guild that no matter who you are, someone in guild chat can annoy you, for whatever reason.
In short, stop whining, it’s no big deal.
