It is with a heavy heart we have to announce that AFJ is dead as an active guild. Some of you might have known for a while. Most of the members that were left have joined Awakening of Evo. There are a few members in AFJ for some social activities and casual gaming, so don’t be surprised if you still see us around. We do not have any ambitions or plans of rising as an active raiding or PvP guild again.
We have a good history. Been one of the biggest Scandinavian guilds on Crom for a long time. We’ve had quite a few successes over the years. Especially 3-4 years ago when we rapidly climbed the raid boss takedown lists and had sizable and good PvP action. The thing we have been most proud of is the community though. Many of our members joined us and stayed, primarily because of the friendly atmosphere and heavy use of VoIP. Many friendships have been created, and many have even been taken into real life thanks to our community. We want to thank all of our former guild members for contributing to that! It’s been a real privilege to be a part of this great social atmosphere.
The last couple of years it’s been a slow downhill battle to keep raids, PvP and other activities going. Mainly because of lack of new blood in the guild and on the server I believe. We can blame our self a little for bad advertising, but the games lack of new players was probably the biggest problem we were facing. In addition to only accepting Scandinavian players, of course. The officers and members have done a great job in trying to keep the ship floating!
We want to thank all players on Crom for participating with us in raids, sieges, dungeons, minigames and so on. We’ve all had a blast and there’s been lots of good moments. The waste majority of you have been a blast to play with!
A special thanks goes to Circle of Eternity and Awakening of Evo. CoE have been a long standing partner in PvP. We’ve had lots of great siege battles with CoE by our side. We could really not have gotten where we once was PvP-wise, without you. Huge thanks goes to all of the officers and members who have supported us and being our friends over the years.
Awakening of Evo have been one of the friendliest and most helpful guilds on Crom. We’ve had little partnerships, but we’ve always had a good and friendly tone. Help was never far away when we needed it. We were never turned down. You opened your doors to most of our reminding players. In that way, a little part of our community and spirit still lives on in AoE. Our second home now. We really appreciate that. Thank you!
Last but not least. Our own members. There are too many names to mention. I run the huge risk of forgetting quite a few of you.
You made this guild what it was. You stepped in, stepped up and helped us achieve. You have contributed a big way on forums, our web page, in online guild management, raid leading and so on. Our members have put countless of hours and a great deal of effort into this game and our guild. You helped us create this atmosphere and community. I thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. We would never have gotten this far without you! You made a guild leader proud.
We will never forget!
