I'll have a chat to the GM tonight and see what he thinks about all this. (Currently 6am where I am, and 4am where he is)

I'll give you a little bit of history in to our guild that might explain it's current state.

Destruction was created by a group of friends and, despite being new, managed to progress quickly and establish a rank as a top raiding guild on aman'thul during dragon soul. (I joined towards the end of DS)
During MoP we had a lot of turn overs of raid members and hit many lows in terms of progression, but despite all that, we still managed to pull through and claim realm first multiple times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0UJIwwo6r4 (some swearing at the start but you'll understand why)

Not long after this*, we were propositioned by Dara Mactire to join them and raid under their name during SoO, but despite being competitive and being ahead for most of the tier, many felt the pressure and/or had real life issues and so we split up.
It was pretty heartbreaking and none of us wanted the team to split as we were all pretty close friends.

(*While all this was going on, the position of GM was handed to a long standing officer who ran a more casual 10man team in the guild. Unfortunately they stopped right after we left and shortly after that a lot of the members left)

So as you can see, there's a lot of sentiment behind this guild for a lot of us, even though we may not appear active at all.

As I said, I'll talk to the GM when I can, but I think the most I could do is get him to pass leadership on to me.
If that is the case, I'll work something out for you guys.

ETA:
Thank you for helping us- even though we always seem to end up pestering you in the middle of a raid.
It's totally fine! As I said earlier I'm usually only on that toon to help out a friend, but I am always logged in to bnet launcher when I'm at my computer. (Hence giving out my real ID)
Aman'thul isn't a bad little server. It's fairly low pop as you would expect from an OCE server, but not small enough to warrant a merger. However you can't CRZ with US realms so it's a bit of a bummer. (Also, think of all the pets! Since you guys are active during our downtime)

I have to shoot off to work now and unfortunately it's one of my long days so apologies for all this fluffing about.

wow you got all the way to thunder king? so then the guild breakup has been pretty recent. I'm sorry to hear things fell apart for you. :( I was not in a top raiding guild but I had something similar happen to my guild at the start of mop. we were a big guild doing a lot of current content raiding but the gm had some nasty stuff happen in real life just before the xpack so he had to quit and the new leader couldn't keep up with everything so all but a few of our oldest casual members left.

We don't want to overthrow the guild and we know it means a lot to the members that are left. we would just be happy if we could get invites without having to wait till 4am and hope someone shows up :lol: thank you for the help and explanation. I appreciate what you have done for us.

We managed to get 11/14 Heroic SoO before we split in november 2013.

I honestly had no idea where all these people were coming from, had I known I would've been on this a lot quicker!
I know you guys mean well and I assume you know where I'm coming from on this.

Just hold tight a little while longer!

(also had no idea I already signed up to these forums 2 years ago, go figure)

Since this thread is so popular and useful I've decided to sticky it and change the title a bit.

Sylvia, I don't know if you'd like to update your original post with a little summary now for anyone who enquires? Up to you, but might be handy :)

I have managed to get him to pass GM on to me.

If you guys would like to nominate a couple of people to be officers, I'll promote them up (character names please :P).
I would ask that these people also add me to real ID. I don't sit around on my alt Hunter much (Wildstar and WoW don't play nice when I run them at the same time), but I'm usually always around.

I've altered the ranks a bit, and have cleared a lot of inactive (5+ months) players from the guild.

If you guys have any concerns or questions feel free to voice them.

Yes, thank you, Leorina! I know it must seem kind of jarring to all of a sudden have all these strange people clamoring at your door. I'm sure we all really appreciate the effort you're going to, I know I do.

Many, many thanks, Leorina! What you're doing is incredibly generous, and you've made a lot of people happy. I'm looking forward to catching up at some point this weekend and hopefully starting a great new adventure. Will keep an eye out for you -- I'm Lourain#1721.

I think this is also great for Petopians -- we're all scattered across various realms, and this could give us the opportunity to band together and get to know one another a bit better.

additional thanks from me, Leorina.

I second s1ncer1ty's statement that this helps bring us together from everywhere.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.
<That Kind of Orc> guild on The Scryers, small, casual LGBT and friends guild, join us Horde-side.

I made a hunter on the server named Lisaara. :3

I sent her a friend request via Kanagosa#1596. It didn't give me the option to type a message for some reason.

Yeah, it hasn't been. Probably just one of those 'bnet is vaguely borked' things that's been going around lately. I've had bNet just -die- on me for no reason more than a few times the past couple weeks.

Me too. Okay, so I'm not crazy.

Is there anyone besides Leor that can invite? :3

At the moment Leorina is the only active guild member with both the rank and the contact info available to make an invite possible.
As for the battle net bug I have experienced it too so if you have your request accepted just make sure to whisper her and let her know who you are.

Will do! I'll level Lisaara in the meantime with heirlooms. ^^ I also don't plan to buy the mount then ditch. I wanna keep Lisaa around.
