Special Note - It's "Rest in Peace" For Two Grand Experiments

Special Note - It's "Rest in Peace" For Two Grand Experiments

One of the great experiments in the earlier days of the Wild family was the fostering of Philly on the distant realm of The Scryer's. It was a life experience that Philly holds very dear, but that dream could not be sustained, and the family she had grown up with eventually dispersed, seeking their own fortunes. At the end, Philly came home to Silvermoon and the Wild family.

With Philly's experience in mind, it is with some sadness that I have to report that the team of pvp hunters known as Hunter Fortress is no more. It's not official, but there is little doubt. The core of Hunter Fortress was Speak, See, Hear(Shevils), and Bean. The Fortress had visiting pvpers on occasion, but none became regular members. The last time Hunter Fortress battled the alliance as a team was on 13 Oct, 2011. For those counting, that is three months ago almost to the day. There is no single reason for it's demise. The four core members were no longer able to rally together with any consistency, and that, simply, spelled the end.

The great emigration experiment of the Four Families from Silvermoon to Boulderfist has also appeared to have reached it's end. The five emigres - Tea, Eowyn, Congou, BB, and Sista - are still around, but each have taken different paths to pursue their own dreams. Even the guild they share is undergoing it's own transformation, to what end is still unclear.

The real life folks behind the toons have taken less active roles as well: one is spending greater time with a new MMO, SWTOR; one has deactivated his WoW account and may not return to the game; a third has greatly reduced her participation; and the fourth is busy with a new career and a second level 85 toon. And of course, Real Life trumps all.

The Wild Family wishes the best to all, Hunter Fortress and Boulderfist relations as well. May the Gods of WoW grant your greatest wishes.
