BDA is pretty quick to discredit anyone that leaves them, but I think that's its biggest strength. A great guild for forming great guilds. FE and Omni are / were two amazingly successful splits from BDA which simply wouldn't have happened without BDA being the exceptionally welcoming, albeit dissatisfying guild that it is. So thanks for being you, BDA.

Ya. Both those guilds outlasted BDA/do things.

Yeah the people from FE caused two more splinters and are now the core of Forsaken? Omni is fine I guess, if you measure your success by teaming up with two other guilds to kill stuff.

Versus measuring success with a huge in house army? EQ is a social game and working with other guilds to accomplish things is part of it, something our huge guilds in P99 usually forget. Yeah they do their thing and it works for them. So yes, very successful guild. FE was hugely successful in upsetting the TMO dominated raid scene, the first guild to do so in over a year at the time. I wouldn't expect longevity from a guild that had to play like FE and TMO 2.0 had to. Still did big things.

I'm not trying to be completely horrible when I say BDA was responsible for those 2 amazing guilds. Wouldn't have happened without you.

Cec - being social, what's wrong with us having a lot of people actually stick around in our guild?

The social aspect can be intra and inter guild.

Bit harsh bro, given BDA roster exceeds that of those 3 guilds combined.

Fat girl calls other fat girl fat. Both fat.

BDA isn't actively bigger than Taken or Rampage, we just don't boot inactive people, and the vast majority fall into that category.

The game we play, it's all intra thanks to guild sizes. Large part of the reason guilds are so awful to each other when they do need to interact.

Not all guilds are awful to each other. Even when competing, some guilds will do the whole competitive banter thing, but /cheer when the enemy wins fairly. There are some in Class R who do not, but most are pretty friendly.

BDA roster is inflated with inactives. You telling me those 3 guilds combined get less than 45 for raids? Because that's what we get on average.
