2009-01-01 Epitaph

The following is from the New Year's report which Wild produces each year:

On the 4th of January, 2008, the "Grunt Foundation" became a reality, led by the undead priest Phillyperdue, french for "lost girl." It was the start of a grand vision for five players who got together just twice a week and intentionally leveled at the same pace. It was an incredible, glorious effort with the goal of seeing and doing everything together that WoW had to offer. The tiny guild cleared Ragefire Chasm, Wailing Caverns, Shadowfang Keep, Blackfathom Deeps, Razorfen Kraul, and all wings of the Scarlet Monastery. But the concept proved too frail. After one member slipped away over time, it all ended on 9 Apr when two of the four remaining members decided it was time to hang up their gear. Philly and Kon, the last of the guild, would quest together for several more weeks, but it just wasn't the same, and ultimately, we too ended it. Kon took over the guild leadership of the Grunt Foundation, and the last I heard he was still active and a level 53 on the Scryer's server. Arq and Huld are still officially members, but have never returned to the game. Braeco no longer exists.

Postnote - As for Philly? Well, she has her own story to tell.
