Hello all, if this is the wrong place to post this, my apologies. If I could voice desperation through text, there would be a lot of it right now.
Currently my guild is facing extinction after four years of playing together pretty much every week end. This is due primarily to drama in the guild itself people we've pugged, and the server (we're one of those servers that really needs a merge, but won't be getting it.) Our guild is 13/14 reg in SoO and is third, horde side, to give you an idea of how bad the server is. There are no 25 man guilds at all on either side. Merging with other guilds has been tried, and failed multiple times. We're trying to keep as many people together as we can, but we can't even fill a raid group at this point.
All we can think of now is unsubbing, realistically, but with a lot of regret tied to it for some of us. The officers, which I am a part of, are seeking out our wolves/titles before unsubbing and trying again with WoD and a server merge. With that in mind we've come up with some options to try, but we have zero experience in, hence why I am prying around forums like these to try and help my guildmates. Honestly, any advice is good advice for us right now.
To note, we have tried wow forums to gather people on and off server with no luck. Are there other forums/resources we're missing?
Has anyone had any luck with finding off server/cross realm raids? Is there a preferred method to this? I can remember back in Wrath, people had to pay for help getting end of xpac titles. We'd like to avoid this, since we'd have to spend real money to transfer a guild vault with gold/items to pay for off server help. We (the officers) know the fight, we know our roles, we know different strats, we just keep ending up with stragglers that end up killing us and with no option for replacement. Even if we only get one kill for our wolves, we'd be happy campers. Thanks much for any input.
