The end of an era

Tonight was the last raid night for Team RamRod. For those of you that don't know, I have been playing World of Warcraft since 2005. I've taken breaks here and there, but I always seem to come back to the game and get much more involved than I intend to. It's my guilty pleasure and addiction, and it has a habit of taking over my life. Lately I've realized I've become too involved again, and it's time to hang up my raid banner.

Team RamRod has been raiding together at least twice a week for the last four months. Spending so much time with people through a computer is not the typical way to get to know someone, but these guys and gals have been like a surrogate family, celebrating life's achievements and providing a welcome distraction to hardships when needed. We've conquered nearly all the game has to offer in a relatively short amount of time, and we did it all through teamwork and communication. Even though real life tried to get in the way before we reached our goal, we stuck together, rebuilt when needed, and stood together proud and victorious on the steps of Shrine of the Seven Stars astride our new Kor'kron War Wolves. 

But, as all things must, the era of Team RamRod has come to a close. We've conquered Garrosh Hellscream, decked out our toons, and now we will go our separate ways. Some will find new groups, new guilds, and even new servers. But I know the friendships I formed here as a part of Team RamRod will live on. It's bittersweet dissolving a group. I look forward to getting my evenings back, but I'll miss my teammates. And guys, dirty is still done... Do y'all remember when this used to be hard? :) TEAM RAMROD!!
