As of last Tuesday we've come to the sad conclusion that there is no point in keeping things going in Guild Wars 2 under the SWD banner. To much of a struggle were the last weeks or even month and recovery seems impossible because of various internal organ failures.
The question I ask myself now is, does that mean the end for Swords of Underworld? If we're looking at what we consider to be Swords of Underworld I tend to say no. For many people SWD is more than a guild, it's become their family, close friends and like-minded. It's a community, and a community can exist without limiting itself to one particular guild, game mode, or even game. People will go their own ways, most have said they will want to stick together in GW2 and join a guild in bulk, which underlines the things I said above. Not everyone will be joining there, some might not even carry on playing Guild Wars 2.
We've all found together with GW2 WvW, but the enjoyment at Guild Missions, Treasure Hunts and other random events clearly show the connection exists beyond WvW.
And this is where this forum gets its place. I am willing to keep this forum running even beyond the 31st of December as a community platform for everyone that wishes to be part of this community. A community that enables interaction with likeminded and allowes to arrange to play together in whichever game or gamemode people want to play.
Because the guild found its end, it does not mean the spirit will go to rest.
If people are willing to carry on the community we've built, I'm happy to provide the platform. Feel free to comment and discuss on how we can do things, set up a forum structure and everything else.
on a sidenote: Sando and Tal still owe me a awesome design for this place, so keep that in mind!
Bear in mind when you are going to reply, this is not to look back and point out what mistakes were made, this is to look forward so we can keep those people we met close.
