I agree with MJ that Grav can be a good leader, I played with him in beta and a bit of retail but that's beside the point for my case. My problem was the Illidan server itself. with ~2 hour queues, and crashes every 5-10 minutes, I was not going to stay on that server, I was picking through threads and saw Zeal was starting on another server and figured two is better than one, right? Well shit escalated from there and we managed to pull in enough members to start a guild of our own. From there it grew as we started meeting new people.

Now, as far as the two guilds undermining a majority vote, it gets a bit shifty. In my eyes we have a better chance of drawing members to the forum if we're on two seperate servers, and also gives newcomers more of a choice as to who they want to play with (should we manage to get a forum here which I seriously doubt since WW is in the other guild.) We're currently not a "zelaron" guild by name, we're just a few members that happen to be playing together, and in a guild together.
