It's an interesting time in the World of Warcraft. A lot of information has been recently released about the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King...and folks are starting to find that the same problem that beset their guilds when The Burning Crusade launched are coming back. Folks are bored with farming content, and want to get alts or other things in line for the upcoming xpack. Or think it's a great time for a break now before things get back hot and heavy with all new content and the experience bar. World Reknown guild Death and Taxes has succumbed, and will be disbanding/rerolling. This is a guild with 14 credited World First kills, and 16 US First Kills. It seems that no guilds are safe, even the ones folks never thought would end. In his post, Xi discusses why it happened, and there are several reasons. They are reasons that are not unique to any one guild. Any guild that heads into a raid will suffer these at some point, it seems. It's led to a lot of discussion on various boards, Jennie Lees article is a good look at the problems, and the comment section has some very good reads. Recruitment is always an issue, and one that I'm looking at quite a bit right now. This is an interesting look into the raiding culture of WoW, I think.
