I sort of felt invisible, and I'm a bit shy, so I find it hard to introduce myself. Anyway, I tried! It would be nice if guild members were a little more conscience of new people attending, to try and make them feel welcome. I'm glad I only paid as a guest for the night.

I agree, present members should have acknowledged the newbies. But you had a good time, so thats a plus. Next time maybe you could introduce yourself. There is always a first time. If then you are still feeling awkward, find another quild. I wouldnt want to belong to a group that has a bunch of stuffy old women in it.
:shock:
