I spent a very short time in TMO pre-kunark. At the time, I thought that it wasn't the place for me. but looking back, I realise that I just wasn't ready for P99 raiding back then.
I found a place in Taken right when they formed, and had the opportunity to learn to raid alongside other people that were also learning. We clawed the guild up from very humble beginnings to get to where we are now.
I'll skip more of the history lesson, but the people that I have played with over the past 5 years have been instrumental in getting us to the point where we can reap the benefits of a lot of hard work.
When Rogean finally gets sick of all of this nonsense and kicks his server box down the stairs, I'll have many great memories of the experiences and accomplishments that i was lucky enough to be involved with over the years, happy that I was able to share them alongside the many excellent people in Taken/Awakened.
Any other guild just can't compare.
