It's posted on 31th of March, so I kinda doubt it's april fool.

If they were smart they would post it on the 31th...I say it's a joke.

Well, considering their blunt approach to the game and the developer, im not sure its a joke..

Seen that already, and just because he said that - doesn't mean they can't quit the game after... seen that sort of stuff many times

Wanna bet some gold on this? 300g says it's a joke.

Reading the interview kinda only fortifies that it really is over... but who knows.

Really bad timing.
It's not like they killed Felmyst on the 31st; they dropped that encounter earlier - why wait till near April 1st to toss in the towel?
Though I'm inclined to be in the camp that thinks this is a really elaborate April 1st joke, there might be some truth to this.

Simple math tells me that Blizzard aims at 1.8 encounters per month to be cleared; so Sunwell had 3 frontloaded encounters and 3 staggered ones.
The first three should've taken 1¾ months.
So you'll see Agamath, the first gate, open late-May/early-June.
Muru'll be accessible in July while Kil'Jaeden will be accessible in August.

That'll leave guilds that are on the trailblazing edge around 3 months to learn Kil'Jaeden and farm him till WotLK goes live around November 2008.

Meanwhile, Nihilum'll have to do the first part of Sunwell for over 7 resets, seeing the gear check that is Brutallus dwindle to a minor speedbump due to the loot influx they're getting.
And that is if they min/max it and farm trash excessively before killing Kalecgos in a fresh reset.

Part of me thinks that Blizzard'll have to release another raid instance, since stretching the Sunwell content till November is really stretching it thin.
And I have doubts about the validity of even a November release of WotLK seeing how they still have to release the alpha details in two months time in Paris and how the Friends-and-Family beta hasn't even started yet.

Could it be that they're upset that they no longer have the #1 position and have no way to "rectify" that for at least two months?
- Sounds to me like they're no longer an interesting organisation to sponsor and act as a billboard for my fancy gaming products!

Dear God people...april fool's day....

Toenibbler · Post by **Toenibbler** » 01 Apr 2008, 12:30

im not quite sure tbh, if you check the armory. Kungen is in Agony now and around 20 people left the guild aswell. and there arguements are kinda valid.

bad timing or april fools joke

guess we will find out tomorrow

It can still be an aprils fool joke tbh. If I were to make an elaborate aprils fool like that I'd try to make it as convincing as possible

Toenibbler · Post by **Toenibbler** » 01 Apr 2008, 13:12

well its working.

check the armory

nihilium - magtheridon

2 members a lvl 45 shammie and a lvl 16 rogue

Mortleg · Post by **Mortleg** » 01 Apr 2008, 13:24

tbh no guild disbands totally in 1 day...suspicious imo

there are always some nostalgic slopokes

P.S.
Btw checking Nihilum's armory there are 20 members all 70. its nihilUM not nihilIum.

A guy from ReG's boards have a pretty good point imo:

Try:

According to Armory they are either shattered all over the place or even deleted their characters.

edit:
I guess I'll take contact to Feelgood (the shaman known as Feelbest in Nihilum) to ask if it's true, I played with Feelgood in both PvE and PvP on Emeriss.
