Kind of cool news. I loved the Monkey Island games, so this sounds like a fun thing to maybe check out and goof off in.

Ron Gilbert, the creator of the wonderfully hilarious Monkey Island games, has set up his own monkey-themed guild in World of Warcraft, providing the perfect fix for those depserate to sample the series' quirky brand of humour once again.
Speaking on his blog, Gilbert said: "I'm starting a Horde-aligned guild called Threepwood on the server Quel'dorei, and any WoW players looking for a Monkey Island-themed guild are more then welcome to join me. My one criteria is that you have to be playing as a character named after someone in Monkey Island."
However, hardened WoW players who are also fans of Monkey Island are unlikely to have their questing needs fulfilled by the new guild, as Gilbert explained: "If you're looking for a large, high pressure guild that does regular raids and is run by a draconian guild master that keeps careful track of everyone's kill stats and admonishes members for not pulling their weight, then this probably isn't the guild for you. As everyone knows, Monkey Island players are laid back and just want to have fun, so don't expect much more than a good time (and honestly, I'm not sure I can even promise that)."
