Here's a sample: Finally, we got lots of tips about this one (thanks, everybody!): Vindication on Bladefist saw about 15 of their top raiders decide to leave for another server, and it led to this amazing thread of drama-- it doesn't take more than a page before girlfriends start getting attacked. Oh, and there's more (isn't there always?): Gimped, leader of Vindication, was apparently seriously angry that Unrest, another guild on Bladefist, had beaten them to a kill, and that's why he decided to ninja their guild bank, and haul off with a few of his closest friends to Stormrage. And the best part of all? When they started recruiting on Stormrage, they didn't exactly get a warm reception. And as for Vindication, Bladefist's Alliance side has decided to team up like never before-- Unrest is actually helping their former rivals, since they've proven they can progress without Gimped and his crowd.

one of our members was invited to join a 25 man raid of theirs (usually gruul or SSC) and was then talked into leaving us for joining them.... or officers/members of their guild were actively whispering our members (last time last night, when they got to our shammy class leader, have SS for proof) and offering them to join their guild....
we are a rather small ish guild and are fighting against the usual problems like lacking healers and tanks allready... we are constantly working on ourselfs and on guilds progress to be able to one day go to a 25 man.....
and i know, that in the end, its the members choice if he wants to leave us or not....

Only an OK Guild Watch this week... there are a few links to drama in forums but not much. Here's a sample: We're hearing bad stuff about the Alliance side on Twisting Nether in terms of raiding-- not only is the server population falling, but the top end guilds are migrating away to other servers, leaving the leftover guildies without great DPS to get things done with. Our tipster says it's basically a training ground server-- get up to Karazhan on TN, and then get recruited to another server.

Interesting discussion (blue poster included) about the possibility of Guild taxes with the coming introduction of guild banks.

The drama returns with this weeks Guild Watch. Here's a sample: Sweet, sweet couples drama. Vicarious of Uldaman-A was rolling right along-- up until a woman named Magenta /gkicked someone during an argument, and it made people so angry that they /gquit in protest. Apparently the person /gkicked got invited back into the guild, and Magenta wasn't having none of that, so she took her husband with her and left the guild and the server. Then, the guild leader decided to skip out on the guild (with the guild bank, his alt, in tow), and it was default guild drama apocalypse from there-- core raider started skipping town left and right, and eventually the person placed in charge of the guild after the GL left, Galford, disbanded the whole thing, and people logged in to find themselves guildless. They're picking up the pieces-- apparently they're reformed as Alliance Underground, and are looking for another Alliance guild to merge with and run the post-Kara game. If you've got a guild on Uldaman-A, I'd take 'em-- at least you know they won't /gquit out and transfer servers on you, right?

Are you looking for a new guild and even considering changing servers in order to do it? Then you need to take a look at this very well written guide with the do's and don'ts of guild shopping. A couple of days ago my guild died. It was a fairly new raiding guild, with good players and really bad management. I made the mistake of sticking with it to the end. Other guildies started to look for a new home a couple of weeks before the sad end, since the crash was pretty visible in the horizon. As a result i found it much harder to find a new guild since most of the good raiding guilds on our server don’t have an opening for a rogue anymore. The last ones was taken by my quicker ex-fellow rogues from the dead guild.

The Guild Watch for this week is a bit lame, and also a bit worrying... with someone posting in the official WoW forums that he basically intended to commit suicide. Let's hope it was a sick, stupid little joke.

This guy poses an interesting question... are Blizzard posters in guilds and people don't even know about them... are they getting your epic lewtz? GETTING OUR EPICKS?
No but really the CM's play WoW, and probably play it endgame at least some of them. Are they in our guilds and we don't even know it. Have they ever gotten in ventrilo. I just think it's funny that some of us have CM's in our guild and don't even know it.
Do any of the CM's actually raid endgame and play in the general WoW population's guilds?

A medicore Guild Watch this week, nothing too special and no mad drama like we usually get. Do you consider your guild to be a casual one? If so, how often do you raid? Today in Guildwatch, we've got news of a guild that considers themselves casual, but has downed 3 bosses in Serpentshrine, and raids three nights a week, four hours a raid. Is that casual or hardcore? What is casual raiding, exactly? And have you ever heard of a guild that's working through Black Temple while only raiding once a week? Is that even possible?

Not too much going on in this weeks GuildWatch... Here's a taste. The Departed on Whisperwind-A just got a raiding team put together by their GM, and the main criteria for joining? "Loyalty," says our tipster. Apparently the GM didn't let anyone in who had alts in other guilds, which resulted in a raid full of "undergeared healers and DPS," and those with the gear considering an exodus from the guild. To top it all, apparently a Warlock friend of the GM who'd been in another guild previously, came back and got invited into the raid post-haste. "Loyalty," says our tipster, "be damned."

Millenium is the fourth best Arena team (read: PvP) at the end of the Europe Regional Finals, while Nihilum is the best PvE (read: raiding) guild in the world. How would you like to see them duke it out in a 5v5 match in Blizzard's

This weeks Guildwatch, for your weekly dose of drama, recruitment and downs. There's a new kind of Karazhan drama in town. By now, most guilds have worked their way through most of Kara-- even if they haven't downed all the bosses, they're at least getting there. But the new drama monster? Group 2. Yeah, it was hard enough for guilds to whittle themselves down to 10 players, and now they're finding themselves split in two. Who goes in Group 1? Who is forced to learn the whole thing again? And why do they get the good mage?

Pretty basic stuff really... - Don't spell like a moron
- Use the actual guild's application
- Don't flirt or post pictures
- Don't complain about your last guild
- Don't talk about what they can give you

The first boss in Black Temple, Warlord Naj'entus, as downed on a public test realm by a guild thanks to a GM touching him and killing him. Check out the loot though!

World famous WoW guild Nihilium have downed Al'ar the Phoenix God, another world first for them. Loot was a pretty nice gun and a ring. They are also celebrating 2 years of being a guild.
