Like Katak, I have really been burnt on all the games that I've spent money on and tried out, Age of Conan, Star Trek online (yes I did purchase it), Lords of the Ring, War Hammer (never opened the original box), Eve, Guild Wars and Guild Wars II, Star Wars the Old Republic. All of these have something to keep my interest but not for long. I started with the T.H.E. during the Star Wars Galaxies game. That may have been a great game, but was mishandled and left to die. I know what World of Warcraft was doing and I soon found out when we all hit the first expac together. That hurt, it was very painful for everyone. Then as we continued into the next 2 expac's I started to become a recluse. This last expac is just more of the same with a new coat of paint. This group has always been an awesome source of fun and friendship. I suspect that it will not change.
To answer the question, is the guild dying. No, but the game sure is. There are a few that are still playing, one in particular that is still on quite a bit. There is just no one interested enough to lead a raid or keep groups going. But who couldn't see the signs of that? Kung Fu Panderia - - Just screams, stick a fork in me I'm done.
Take it easy with those of you who are exiting the game and for the rest, I hope to see you online at some point
