Veni Vidi Vici
This was my first real guild. I originally rolled on Malygos however never got past level 20 with that character. This was the guild that I was in with Star Wars Galaxies, and then we moved to Everquest 2. Unfortunately, Everquest 2 sucked at the time. About two months after launch I started playing WoW.

I ended up leaving this guild because of many reasons. The guild started to reroll on a PVE server (ironically enough, it was Malygos), there were many cliques in the guild, and a lot of guild drama. I ended up calling the guild leader out and then leaving the guild.

Eventually this guild disbanded and everyone went their separate ways.

Ninja Pirates from Space
This was one of the guilds that I had the most fun with. The guild was relaxed and we did a lot of silly things including playing chess in Molten Core, naked train parades, and other fun things. This guild was also my first introduction into the wonderful world of raids. We only cleared up to and killed Baron Geddon but still had fun. Eventually the guild merged with Vanquish.

One the guilds more famous videos involves a 1% wipe on Lucifron. The video have Lucifron at 0.5% life with 3 paladins left alive and we couldn't kill him. The video is located here.

Vanquish
I was only in this guild for about a month. I was with them for their first Vaelastrasz the Corrupt kill back when you could only spend one hour of attempts on him. That first kill was quite a rush. I didn't feel I fit in with the guild, and ended up just leaving the game to take a nice real life break.

Born in Chaos
I joined up with BiC since I knew some members (the guild leaders) from a different forum. I was coming back to WoW and quite frankly the guild billed itself as a family guild, however I felt that it was not. The skill level in the guild was poor and the guild was filled with drama. In addition, the guild was very cliquy... there were so many sub-groups within the guild it was amazing. After managing to piss the guild leaders off by cheering for my favorite hockey team (Edmonton Oilers) who were facing their favorite hockey team (Detroit Red Wings) and seeing how upset people can get over a game of hockey I decided it was time to move on to something filled with less drama.

High Caliber
The guild I got invited to but really shouldn't have been. :) A member of the guild had me confused with another person who had a similar name.  I became friends with him, and got an invite to the guild.  Thankfully, I was able to show off some skill in raids and earned my way into the guild.  As the guild leader Keg said, "We don't recruit based off of gear.  Look at Ackis.  He has shit gear, but he's a great player.".

With High Caliber, I raided all of Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. We were able to get the server first kill on C'thun as well.

I had a lot of fun raiding with this guild, we would have drunken raid nights which a majority of the guild would... get drunk and we'd raid some boring instance like Molten Core. It made things fun as evidenced by my conversation with Keg: "I tried to heal you... but I couldn't target you anymore". As well, we raided with a person who was deaf. You would think that not being able to hear would hinder your ability to play, but he was a fine druid.

Eventually during the startings of Naxxramas, after getting three kills the guild disbanded due to internal drama (e-hoes).

Nerve
I transfered to Nerve after my previous guild broke up. What a poor decision that was. I raided Naxxramas with them however I never really got into the guild. I made a few friends in the guild, but nothing much. When the officers decided to make people who were sitting out on a raid farm them mats for raiding (ie: Shadow protection potions) I knew it was time to move on. In addition, the guild leader would always yell even when there was no reason to, and would be excessively angry. He was one of the worst guild leaders I ever had, because he wouldn't lead. The only leader to be worse than him has been Xzar from Team Ice. I ended up leaving the guild and deciding that it was time to take a break from the game.

It turns out the guild has now disbanded.

Post Mortem
This was a reformed guild from High Caliber. I was asked to come back to WoW so I did. Unfortunately the guild ended up disbanding.

Void
Guild disbanded after getting Horde first Illidan kill. :(

Team Ice
Transfered to Illidan to play with Team Ice. This was probably one of the best times I had in WoW. I joined up before Sunwell came out, and was with them when we got the US 8th kill for Kil'jaeden. After some drama with the guild leader (I called him out for bringing a female who didn't know how to play, but he wanted to get into her pants) I left the guild.

Haomarush
This was a free transfer from Illidan. This server was terrible. They didn't even get the Zul'Aman War bear. I was in a few guilds here, however never comitted to any, they were all terrible, and well sucked hard core.

Soulless
Started this up with someone from Team Ice. Didn't work out at all.

Blue and Cyan
I don't even remember this guild.

Thunderlord
Server transfered to play with some of my fiancées friends.

Focus
During attempts on Iron Council Hard Mode, I was forced to go shadow for the first five or so. However, during the last transition everyone would start to die... because healing wasn't there. So I went Holy for the next three attempts, which we made it to the third phase the entire time. During the second attempt, I received a "nasty" tell from the class officer Mittermox telling me to "FLASH FLASH FLASH PRAYER OF HEALING". I don't know about you, but I don't PoH until I know there's going to be raid damage. Apparently they were looking at overall healing metre's and saw that my P1/P2 healing wasn't "keeping up with the resto druid" and were getting upset. The irony of this is that Mittermox's healing was lower than a shadow priest. Yes, she was getting outhealed by a shadow priest. So I called her a moron for looking at the overall healing and not the rotation and when things occur (FFS 8 healing normal modes because the guild is terrible and can't move out of stuff? Like come on.). Anyways, I log in the next day and get this wonderful message from her:

L2Priest. Elististjerks.com. Do a search for PoH. Learn something. Read the talents on your spec too. CLEARLY you don't understand your talents if you don't use PoH. In due time, you'd have been booted from guild for lack of performance. But hey, at least you got gear. Best of luck, you're going to need it. Oh, and I ALWAYS taken inspiration as a PvE healer. You should armory before trying to correct. PS - Chuck Norris jokes are so last year.

As some of you know I code mods including Chuck Norris Facts, which I spammed to her during the boss encounters because it was so boring and she didn't like it. And her comment about inspiration, well she decided to "review my spec" and stated that she doesn't get inspiration, at most 1 point. GG there. Maybe she actually did some research herself?

Anyways, to Focus, good luck on wiping on your hardmodes, even the easy ones. Maybe your bi-polar guild leader will finish the deed one day.

Corrupt
This was the guild that had my fiancées friends in it. Joined up a few months before Cataclysm after taking a long hiatus from WoW. All I ever heard was gearscore this, gearscore that. Guild wasn't a fit with me as I only got along with one person. Another reason to regret the shithole known as Thunderlord.

Scarlet Crusade
Transfered here at the start of Cataclysm.

Unrelenting Fury
This guild was a merger of a few real life friends guild and another guild. It didn't turn out. The guild leader would come to raids without flasks, or even knowing the fight, heroics would take hours with that crew. Eventually everyone who was good (aka real life friends and that crew) left to another guild.

Knights of Amaranthine
A large guild with a small core of raiders, I was eventually made an officer, developed the guild website, ran raids and DKP. However after voicing my opinions in the Officer forums that raids were unorganized, there was very little communication, and that the forums needed more activity, I was ostracized for around 45 minutes before a raid. After thinking it over, I decided to leave the guild.

Mischief
My current guild. I joined up with them when they were 12/12 normal and 0/12 heroic. I've done a few first kills with the guild and it's brought back that level of excitement I used to have.
