Two months later

The guild has pretty much has had a one-two punch to it. First, the GL after grabbing some fresh air realized the time sink he'd made in the past few years and has stepped away from the game. He's promoted a good guy to run the guild, but they are very different people.

The arrival of summer combined with the numerous alts that everyone has been leveling due to the lack of progression has also contributed to attendance. Why waste time wiping if you have an alt who can do a run with another guild and get the level 80 welfare epix?

My own focus has somewhat drifted to this camp too. My mage, forever the bank character, has leveled in the past few weeks up to 56. Heck, 58 is outland and still very familiar to me from the BC days. I really feel the final stretch is to get to 58, I think from then on I'll be happy with the improved leveling content that is BC & WOTLK.

That doesn't address raid nights. I don't believe I've gotten any loot for my main spec in over a month at least. We are equipping a lot of new players, who I can't figure out why they are in this guild or why they'd want to stay. I believe we'll have an influx in 3.2 when faction switching can happen and we'll get a lot more friends showing up.

This obviously is a good thing...as long as they are good players.
