(WoW) A Bittersweet Addendum
Certainly, getting that finishing blow against the Lich King was a glorious moment, though after things wound down for the night, a post went up on the guild board announcing two members would be switching to another guild.
We've already "lost" one of our ongoing raid team pool to it and one or more alts. I understand that guild is larger (they must be if they regularly run 25-man raids), so there's probably more diversity and support for other things like PVP. It's not much of a surprise as the recent two had been spending more time doing things with the other guild I don't hold any grudges, and wish them all well, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't saddened and perhaps a touch disppointedd by it.
So as Wrath of the Lich King winds down, we've accomplished a whole lot. It's been a good expansion. But in these twilight days before the next, we're also down to about eight regular raiders. That means we'll probably have to do some degree of "rebuilding" in Cataclysm rather than hitting the ground running. Of course, technically everyone will - there'll be five levels to gain and new gearing up before hitting Cata raids. This does give us some ties to the other guild, so there can be some measure of cooperation, depending on the situation. Overall, I guess we'll be stronger than we were coming out of Burning Crusade, but not as well off as I would have thought a few weeks ago. Time will tell.
