Time sure does fly!

Post#1 » 29 Jun 2016, 09:19

And with that, Ante Meridiem celebrates it's 10th birthday!... Where has the time gone?! I remember founding this guild in 2006 just 3 weeks after I graduated from college and a week after I got my first post-college 'real' job... We were just a bunch of people, and by bunch, 3-4 of us, who wanted to do stuff in the mornings thanks to our 2nd shift jobs. We ran Scholomance and Stratholme often times having to pug the last spot in the 5 man dungeon... slowly but surely we started running UBRS (it used to be 10 man back in the day) and eventually we began to dabble in the idea that we could actually foster a morning team with enough people to do Zul'Gurub and Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and began farming those weekly with a 7 day raiding schedule (yes, even Tuesdays!) 3-4 hours a day. Our momentum picked up and by sometime in the fall, the exact date escapes my memory, we fully cleared Molten Core with a full 40 man team all wearing the Ante Meridiem guild tag. At that moment, I knew we were going to be something, we were going somewhere, we were going to last.

Did I expect this to last 10 years? Back then, never! But it did. Did I expect us to be battling for server top 2 in The Burning Crusade? Never. But we did. Did I expect us to still be competitive with the best guilds on the server at 10 years of age? Nope. But we are.

This guild is absolutely amazing. Sure we've had our ups and downs over the years, what guild hasn't. Every other guild, excluding one, that was around when we founded are gone. What do we do differently that has allows us to not only survive but thrive? The answer is easy. You. The members of Ante Meridiem. From the guild master to the raider, to the non-raider even down to the applicant. Without dedicated, mature, responsible members like you and a healthy community of 'friends' outside the guild we have remained one of, if not the best guilds on Stormrage and possibly the entire WoW community.

Thank you for being a part of this awesome guild!

Congratulations to everyone involved in this amazing achievement. I had the pleasure of spending a good chunk of time with the AMAM team and the atmosphere was awesome (especially considering it being considered hard-core).

I'm glad I got to play with all of you, and hope to return soon to one of the 4 teams this wonderful guild fosters. So again congratulations on this tremendous achievement, and I wish us all another successful 10 years!

Belle - I've been thinking about how much I (we) are indebted to you for keeping things running well for so long.

Here is what I would like to do:

I will fund (not trying to be special here, I am sure others will contribute but its not necessary afaic) the manufacture and shipping costs for 100 Ante Meridiem T-Shirts.

Let me know and I'm a large!
