I just read through this mess. Ebony said nearly everything I wanted to say on the matter.
The one thing I'd add is that in EQ, it's a fact of life that everyone plays for their own reasons, and that those reasons sometimes change. I've seen solid members run off and join <Force> and other guilds so they get at higher end loot, raid, or pvp more actively. I can't imagine any guild where this sort of thing didn't happen.
That said, there's more than a handful of us that have been around a while and still fly the guild banner. I joined Serenity due to the more casual (and less hostile) approach the guild has. So far, I haven't been let down by anyone currently in the guild.
