The Golden Elm began over 12 years ago in an MMO called Asheron's Call. At one point we grew to 10k members over the seven years we played there.
When WoW came out, a few of us migrated and began exploring Azeroth together.
We started on a central time zone server and quickly discovered our Aussie friends couldn't connect to anything but a west coast server, so we ditched our level 10s and changed to Lightbringer so everyone in the original guild could play together. We've been here ever since.
I've seen a lot of friends leave, gained new ones, and still have some 12+ year online friends in my guild. We will never be a professional raiding guild, but we have loyalty, dedication, and tenacity to wipe with style on trash pulls, stand in ooze puddles way longer than we should, and name crazy stunts after people who mess up. We even make up our own achievements at times (kite a slime while killing Heigan.)
We are altaholics, we run old raid content, we do old quests, we collect outdated patterns because they exist and we MUST have them.
We run a lot of 10 mans, and with the Wrath expansion we've finally seen end game content. We may not be awesome raiders but we know how to have fun and I'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish so far.
