Oh blizzard why hast thou forsaken us? -- Nihilum Quits.

If you think you’re freaking hilarious (you’re not) and are thinking TOO LONG DIDN’T READ, let me sum it up for you. Nihilum is finished and most of us have quit. Bye.

It’s been a 3 year roller coaster ride. We have enjoyed ourselves, sometimes. But all good things must come to an end and all that. I think we have reached a point where enough is enough. There is only so much your face can take after repeatedly smashing it against a wall. It seems like we are fighting a multi-million dollar company whose sole purpose is to destroy every last bit of fun hardcore guilds can have. We’re a bunch of fishies swimming against the current.

A rare breed of little fishies that don’t want everything given to them on a plate and are happy when they accomplish something that is a challenge.

It all really comes down to the state of the PVE game at the moment. It’s something that totally contradicts our reason for existence. We always try to use every single advantage given to us. And thus we are forced to “test” PTR content just to stay ahead or keep on par with other guilds. This is ridiculous, we should not be testing anything, an internal testing team should. Oh how incredibly awesome it would be to zone into and new instance and not have a CLUE what bosses exist, or what tactics to use to kill them, or what gear will drop.

I think the Sunwell gate “idea” was the final blow. Why bother trying to compete for world firsts if the leading guild has to twiddle their thumbs waiting for the next stage to be open, watching everyone and his mother catch up. Why bother race to the finish line when it’s only Kil’jaeden that matters? It’s like a four hundred meter race where everyone has to stop and wait for the last guy every hundred meters. It’s unreasonable, and makes me not want to bother. And when everyone in the guild has that mentality, it collapses.

“Make some positive suggestions instead of whining blah blah”
We are not the company with infinite resources and the best creative and design team gaming has to offer, we don’t need to come up with anything, we are useless bums living in our parents basements remember?

So what will happen to Nihilum?
Some of us will go, some of us will stay and play the casual game it’s become. But eventually you will see us make a comeback in a new game. Thanks to the fans. We pretended those level 1 whispers didn’t matter. But they made our days! We screenshotted every one, every single one! And we look at our screenshot folder on lonely days to cheer us up. Thanks to the sponsors that believed in us. We had such big plans coming for the website and the community...a pity really .
Goodbye cruel world...

...of Warcraft.
P.S “Activision Blizzard” doesn’t make sense.

Seit letzter Nacht auf der Seite:
Don't worry - Nihilum remains. Sorry for the scare everyone! )

Hi all,

The "Nihilum quits" story is an elaborate April fools joke that we tried to carry out as realistically as possible, hence the /gquit in-game and people joining other guilds. We're very thankful for the attention and appreciation that people have shown us, we had no idea that so many care so much about our little guild; We love you all too! - This website exist as the means for us to give back to you guys, the community. You can expect a lot of cool stuff for you all to view and read throughout Sunwell.


Regarding the Gate Locking system

We however do feel that the gate locking system Blizzard has put in place is plain out stupid, even though this April fools joke wasn't intended as a means to "whine" about the issue, we do feel that as a PvE guild we should raise our voices regarding these "walls", and we hope that other PvE guilds feel the same. As an old school raider from all the way back in Everquest, I have to say that including a system like this is extremely discouraging and basically ruins the whole spirit and essence of PvE for guilds that follow the old school ways. PvE races have been in the nature of MMORPGs since the dawn of time. Why do Blizzard want to ruin that?

As Ronald Reagan said to Mikhail Gorbachev: "Tear down this wall" - Such is my plea to Blizzard: "Tear down these gates".

The right and proper way would be that when you kill 1 boss the next one is available to you. Remove the gates. Allow guilds to have their fun and enjoy MMORPGs as they were always intended in PvE guild terms. This change wouldn't ruin anything for casuals or anyone at all who plays the game.

The current state of PvE racing in World of Warcraft is basically like if those in the lead in, for example, Tour de France had to wait for everyone else to catch up several times on a stage before being allowed to proceed. How can this be fair or even a reasonable and logical approach.

"TEAR DOWN THESE GATES!"

Und Awake ist schon lange nichtmehr drin. Der wurd gekickt.
