Well said Basil! Makes me wish I'd been around back then. There's nothing sadder than long time players leaving a game, any game. But that Top 100 guilds go with is tragic. All the work and time and dare I say it love you put into something... I can't imagine how hard that last moment of giving up a guild you built is.
Here's to the fallen guilds and the players who loved them, the next bottle's on me mates, may they live on forever in Pirate Infamy, cause isn't that the idea?
