Downfall has been around in one form or another for almost four years. We've seen some tremendous changes in that time - growing from a small group of dedicated players to the behemoth powerhouse that we are today. We ended WoW 1.0 having just barely tasted high endgame and we finish out The Burning Crusade as one of only a handlful of guilds to have completely cleared the game.  What's more important is that we run as a cohesive and helpful group of people who really enjoy their time together. 

Wrath will be out on November 13th, and Downfall will be setting the standard by which all other guilds on the server will be measured.  Our goal is not to lead in "server firsts", but rather as a leader in how a community can have fun and work together to do cool things.

That said, the first raid will be starting up a mere four or five weeks after the expansion is released.  I encourage all of you who want to dedicate the time and commitment, to please sign up here:

Balancing enjoyment, community and progression is tough.  If you're not a raider, I encourage you to be active on the site and helpful in game.  We need all our members participating and contributing.  Get ready for November 13th, because it's going to be a wild ride!
