The guild is doing exceptionally well.

2.5 mos of raiding or so and we've managed to clear T5 up to Kael (he dies this week) and 4/5 Hyjal. I'm pretty impressed with the calibur of players I have picked up. Some need some work on raiding itself, but that will come with experience.

Everything is gone... three years worth of work... of virtual, pixellated blood, sweat and tears.

Long story short, if your friend gives you his account, be sure he changes it to your name in case something like this ever happens.

I am also running my own...
