According to the website Guildox.com, The Wreck List is ranked 9 out of 20 for guilds that only run 10 man raids and 4 out of 20 in raid achievements. When ranked among all the realm raiding guilds that registered on that site, we are ranked 63 out 84 guilds for 10-man raid progress and 47 out of 84 for 10-man raid achievements. There is an important poll running right now on whether to continue as a strict 10 man guild. Please read this forum post BEFORE voting in the poll. And FYI, the #3 guild right now on our server is Cryme Tyme, while Tao, the guild home of players banned for making racist comments in the trade channel is #2.

Expect serious extended maintenance. Oh, and be kind to the guild DKs, we're going to be nerfed to the ground, and may be twitchy, traumatized, or weeping.
