Whoops. The Quicksand IS the Ul'dah Adventurer's Guild. It's just another name for it, pretty much!
I can understand your concern with wanting to not give away too much information, though here on the RPC, I don't think you'll need to worry too much about metagaming. I mean at some level, you have to be willing to make a little bit of a leap of faith in your fellow players to be able to forge any long-term connections. If your character, for example, has a criminal background or is even a villain, yeah, that can definitely mean being a tad bit more secretive (at least until you find yourself some decent allies).
Personally, I can't say I've run into any real metagaming issues in the last 5 months or so since I got here!
