On To Bleeding Hollow | Print |
Written by Paul   

After many months of in-house discussion, KSP has decided to pick up its roots and move to Bleeding Hollow.

There are quite a few reasons for this, the most basic reason being that, from the start, we were an east coast guild. We started out on Warsong in the infancy of WoW and moved at the first opportunity due to Warsong's legendary instability. Little did we know that we were moving to a server that was actually worse (stability-wise) than the one we left. I've lost count of the number of times Bonechewer was the only server offline in the USA. The number of nights raiding we lost to Bonechewer being down is downright stupid. 

It isn't just server stability that led us to come back east. An unfortunate side-effect of being an east coast guild on a west coast server is the difficulty you have recruiting when you start raiding at 5pm local time. It makes it very difficult to recruit the west coast people because who can leave work and be home at 5pm?

Last, but not least, the people. I couldn't stand them. I've lost count at the number of 15 and 16 year old high school kids (the type of west coast people who were home at 5pm) who have come and gone through our guild. For every one good one there were ten bad ones. Emo kids, goth kids, self-burners, cutters, super emo kids, kids who loved Michael Jackson (really, if you're 16 why do you love Michael Jackson?) the list went on and on. I should've gotten degrees in sociology and psychology to deal with all these damaged kids. There are kids eating bugs off the ground in Madagascar that have less issues than these infants. They got grounded. They lost their internet. They played at friends' houses. They had their first kiss. They had their first hand job (sometimes even with a girl). The things we dealt with beguile belief. It was time for a change that was long in the making.

So here we are. Why Bleeding Hollow? Why not? The server isn't a disaster, it has a decent population, we all have great connections to it and it's not Bonechewer. Maybe the most appealing thing about the move is this simple concept: It couldn't get any worse.

Anyway, I'm not big on goodbyes or drama or any of that shit. That's probably why KSP has been together for 9 years now -- we just roll with the punches and move on. That being said, I'd like to thank all the members of KSP we are leaving behind because they chose not to transfer and the ones who've stopped playing wow altogether. We appreciate every moment of the time you gave us when you weren't grounded, asleep, high on drugs, having dinner with your family at 30, being forced to stop playing by your girlfriend who you also met at 30, racing go carts around wal-mart and many other "acitivities" that made me wish for your untimely demise.

Wish you were here
