Thank you so very much!

Thanks to all who have participated on our team! Its been a great run. In less time than most, we accomplished so much! I am pleased with all of you for your hard work and dedication to the our cause. Unfortunately, we have taken significant losses in members and slipped backward in progression. It is not fair for those of you who show up every week or communicate otherwise prior to raid day, to sit around waiting for us to pug missing raid slots. Something must be done to correct the imbalance.

Currently, we are in need of 2 tanks and 1.5 healers. There are also a few DPS that are fair weather raiders (or just busy with RL) lately, so at least one or 2 consistent DPS spots are open. John has decided that a break from WoW is necessary to complete a long lists of tasks in his personal life, which we all understand and wish him luck, I'm sure. However, he does send his deepest apologies that he was a complete asshole in deciding to take this break after too many last minute cancellations that left our team high and dry for a good healer at the end of the raid week. I have thought long and hard about how to address our missing members, lack of motivation for current members to give 100%, and the absence of leadership. Basically, I had to choose one of the following: A) Take over as GM and start fresh with a "new" team while getting back to the rules set forth in the beginning which do not tolerate people who just don't give a shit and skip raids without calling, therefore wasting everyone's valuable time. This would be quite time consuming, but could be rewarding to have a team ready for the new content. And I could elect some officers to help me get things running smoothly again. Or B) Announce a break in raids until further notice.

It was hard, but the final decision is to take a break. I don't get the feeling that everyone's heart is in it anymore and I just don't have the time to devote to getting together and motivating a group of kickass people who play well together again. It's a huge bummer because I will miss most of you something awful. It has been a great pleasure to play alongside of such cool people. I may be discontinuing my WoW subscription for the time being, but am not 100% sure yet. If those of you who do not have my e-mail or number wish to keep in touch, please send me an in-game mail request.

As for the guild...you are more than welcome to sport the name and stay as long as you'd like. I'll be there for sure until I play again. If we get another team going in the future I will look you guys up and offer a spot if you are interested and have left the team. I will also be distributing the bank contents over the next week or so to team members. Please let me know if there is a particular type of item you prefer.

Thanks again guys!
