It great that wotlk is being released. We have had a hand full of members leave for raiding guilds to see new content (before the news was announced), im quite happy about folk moving on to do things like this. If they leave with a positive memory of TDD, all the better, and I prefer that. If not, it was probably better that they moved on too, to find new joy in the game with another guild that could offer them more of the game with folk that have more time to play it. Folk sitting brewing over issues they don’t agree with rubs off on others, whether they mean to, or not.
We can only do so much with the time we have online, with our IRL commitments, and that is the design of the guild, that’s what we are, and that’s when we play. Online when we can be, offline when we need to be.
I love running this guild, it's practical to play the game and enjoy it without harming IRL issues. I still play this game with the same enthusiasm as I had when I first installed the game.
Stop, Regroup, then Continue.
I don’t think everyone new to TDD entirely understands the method behind that strategy.
From the outside it would seem like maddness I guess. Guild closes shop, puts up the gate and says nobody allowed in, access denied, and a public statement that we are no longer recruiting.
Other than it has been something we have done before in TDD, most TDD members expect it, and some new folk can read between it. And while I cant say blunty im shacking the tree to see what leaves fall off. ...That’s basically the idea.
It might appear to be a crisis being posted on the front page, but that depends on your point of view. It's difficult to gauge things when people are undecided, or quiet in their indecision, to suddenly up and leave while we made plans for them.

To be honest, this should have been you're front page post. It seems much clearer to me (possible cause I'm reading it after the front page one) and definatly makes me feel.. I don't know .. easier? It shows that we have a plan, we want our guild to remain strong - but we know that a few people may leave in the next week or so and want to give them the oppurtunity to do so without looking like idiots by recruiting people and haveing them see a collapsing guild rather than a strong one.
Easier to re-write something in reflection i know. Just couldnt get the words out right on the day
