The Death of a Guild
Well, my guild died last night. After weeks (months?) of tension between those who raid and those who don't, the /gquits finally came.

The first started a couple days ago. One of the original members couldn't get over some stupid grudge he had against one of our best raiders. Something about a comment she made about his gear ages ago when we were doing Kara.

The second came soon thereafter when another of the original members decided she could no longer stand the atmosphere. (Dijo que no podía soportar leer los mensajes de la preñada -- porque había recien perdido un bebé. No sé si lo creo...)

Then last night all hell broke loose. We were continuing our Naxx run, having made it to the final two bosses on Sunday night. We were looking forward to getting them down. Our guild leader didn't show up at the designated time. We waited for him for over a half hour then finally filled his spot. We got down Sapphiron then moved on to Kel'thuzad. After a couple tries against him, one of our DPS had to leave. So we swapped in one of our guild ret pallies. Well, lo and behold, our Guild Leader was on line by that point (I totally missed his arrival) and noticed that he had not been asked to fill the DPS slot. After an incredibly inane conversation in which he claimed he could DPS, heal or tank on his Paladin (huh? three specs and equipment -- is he insane?), he started raging in Guild Chat. That was the proverbial straw...those of us in the raid typed /gquit. Then the GL booted all of our alts.

So easily it ends.

What's the next step? Probably we 5 raiders will re-forming our old guild. At least we will all have a common point of view regarding the game. That will make a big difference.

Oh...and we never got Kel'thuzad down. We're determined to get him down next week!

Speaking of next week -- three of us have been invited to do a Naxx run to get the Undying title. We weren't going to go, but considering we no longer have guild runs, we think we will. Oh the pressure...to stay alive and to keep others alive. I'm excited and anxious at the same time.
