Notable Guilds

 * Genesis: One of the best progressed guilds on the server all the way up till their disband in mid 2009. It was also one of the first to be formed for serious raiding.
 * Elitism: A long with Genesis and Orion, it was the best progressed guild on the server ever since it started in 2005 and all the way up till they migrated of the server in march 2010.
 * Orion: The best progressed guild in early Pre-TBC, and got competition in AQ40 and Naxxramas, which it lost. It led the progression charts many times during it's existence, but disbanded in late half of 2009.
 * Flawless: Formed of old The Nordic Elite members in late 2007. It soon became one of the leading guilds on the server, keeping a steady progression behind the main guilds Genesis, Orion and Elitism. After the summer in 2009, Flawless had a rough time gathering enough motivated players to their raids, a faith Carpe Cerevisi led under as well. The Guild Masters and officers of both guilds agreed on a merge, forming Beacon, a guild which would consist of a casual atmosphere made by the best from the two guilds.
 * Carpe Cerevisi: Beer loving guild, with great progress as long as it lasted.
 * Phoenix: A Horde guild, which is well known for the movie Hardware Store, which has fronted many leading World of Warcraft sites.
 * Caern Morghen: Well progressed guild which moved to Wildhammer during the FCM in 2006. Their progress on Wildhammer has been good, and is among the top.
 * The Nordic Elite: An old well established guild which did consist of only Norwegians, Swedes and Danes until a change of policy in 2008, letting all nationalities enter.
 * Heroes of Norway: One of the oldest, and were the largest guild on the server for quite few years. It only consisted of Norwegians, but due to role changes, the guild is now dead.

PvE Progress
 Alliance:

Pre-TBC: Genesis, Carpe Cerevisi and Orion were the leading guilds. With Genesis getting all the way up to 4 Horsemen (4HM) before The Burning Crusade shipped.

TBC: Genesis and Orion were the main competetors on the alliance side during this era. But guilds such as Flawless, Carpe Cerevisi and Impulse Raiders followed closly behind. Server first Kil'Jaeden went to Orion 16th of September 2008.

WotLK: WotLK has had a lot of twists and turns during this expansion. Many of the leading Alliance guilds have either died down or disbanded completely. This makes Avalerion the main competetor to become the best Alliance guild on the server. As of 30th march 2010, they're at 6/12 HM ICC25. To be continued.

 Horde:

Pre-TBC: Elitism were the top guild during this era, with not really any competition on the Horde side.

TBC: Elitism dominated again this era on the Horde side. Get Geared or Wipe Tryin, Extend and Evolution were following closely, but were always a step behind.

WotLK: At the end of 2009 and still far into 2010, Horde guilds have been dominating the raiding scene. The guilds Elitism and Heretic has been following each other like shades, with Extend and Evolution following relatively close behind. As of march, both Elitism (Migrating) and Extend (Disbanding) will halt there progression, and Heretic will then take over the lead on the server. To be continued.
