It's my regret to inform everyone that leadership has decided to put the guild and it's activities on pause, indefinitely. We started this guild a year ago to be a semi-casual environment that would enable us to progress through the game without the need to be hardcore. Unfortunately the server climate isn't allowing us to pursue that goal without turning the guild into something we don't want it to be.

The server is very top-heavy with Rampage destroying everything and BDA/Taken zerging the scraps. In order for us to be successful as a guild we would need to mass-invite casual players to support our core of hardcore players. Since we don't do that it's put us in a difficult position where our core is burnt out from carrying the load and we're unable to field enough people for basic raids.

Instead of forcing the guild into a merger or to be absorbed by another guild we are giving you guys the choice to go where you want. It's always been your choice to do what you want and we don't want to pressure anyone to follow us down a path they don't agree with.

This 'phased' approach I implemented 8 days ago revealed a lot about our current state. Despite having over 137 members and 47 trials we've barely been able to self-organize groups to complete things. In most cases, people were just doing their own thing....and thats OK. We don't expect everyone to have an urge to progress in the same way as our core - but it sets us up for a difficult future when we're trying more complex raids and encounters if resists and gearing is inconsistent across the board.

However, the guild isn't dissolving. A lot of people want to stay in it and play with the friends they've made here and wear the HK tag with pride. You're free to do so as well. The primary difference here is there won't be a leadership team that helps organize and spearhead events anymore.

Thank you everyone for being a part of this great guild and great experience. We wish you all the best and hope to see you around.
