What happened to all of the guilds on Blue, and what is Fuse?

Kittens was well ahead of both those guilds and competing with riot a decent amount.

The merge wasn’t due to lack of numbers or skilled raiders on the kittens side

Then what exactly was the point of the merge?

My understanding is that the leadership of Kittens was getting tired (the current raid leadership had been running it for years) and there wasn't anyone in Kittens overly interested in taking their place. And who can blame them, it's a lot...quakes, bat phone for natural spawns, ring wars, weekly Sky, weekly HoT, plus other weekly guild events.

So the answer was to merge into Riot since they would welcome any Kittens raiders who wanted to join and they have a raid leadership team who still wanted to be responsible for doing all the work required.

So Kittens was dying and the mouth breathers wanted to keep doing nothing to get loot? Okay, I understand that.

Why did RIOT do it?

Because why would you ever turn down adding a group of very experienced raiders who have experience leading in the raid scene? The more people who have done some of the more complex strats the better it is for your raid team...and now you have backup people who can help lead things in a pinch if the main Riot raid leaders were for some reason unavailable.

Because you didn't need them? Because it's anticompetitive and bad for the server? Because you were the two biggest guilds on the server?

kittens was running out of leaders and to save face it was easier to call it a merge than to app.

Put another way: Kittens has more people who casually enjoy P99 and have real lives and don't feel like being on call to do the same raid for the 10,000th time on an emulated server that's been around for like 15 years.

Riot has more of the people with no lives/future

Anyone still playing p99 falls into this category. Sorry you don't got life / future hope this helps.
