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

<Fuse> broke the mold, though, Yendor.

Guild 1 got most of the raid targets.
Guild 2 got some others.
Guild 3 started building steam.
Guild 1 and 2 merged to make the largest guild in server history just to beat Guild 3.

Gravity had nothing to do with any decision to merge with Kittens. The real story is it started as an offhand joke made by one of the Riot Officers. It was surprisingly well received by Kittens because they had some real issues with officer burn out. They went from competing for Vulak to operating as a raiding guild primarily only on quakes in a short amount of time as a result of the momentum they lost from constant GM Meta changes. It was either merge or see Kittens dwindle and seeing an even bigger group of them leave. So yes, at least part of the reason was for the health of the server.

Despite the crying and demands made from Gravity to CSR post-merge because the "dozens" of new recruits never manifested in their ranks. Gravity went from killing a few quake mobs and like hate mobs pre-merge to a much larger percentage of mobs post merge, as a result of the fact that one guild can only be at one place at a time instead of competing against 2 entities... even before the tailor made meta. Drafts had one less entity selecting raid targets as well. So essentially it resulted in everyone in the raid scene winning.
