The Lost Soldiers of Darkness

We transferred from Stormrage at the beginning of TBC to move from an over crowed and unbalanced server.  Blizzard offered us free transfers to Area 52, for the first year it was great.  A little horde heavy, but not to bad.  We could hold our own at Halaa, quick queue times for BG's, and was pretty even with raid progression for both factions.  Over the past couple years though with the influx of horde to the server and the outflow of alliance, Area 52 died for us.  With only a couple guilds able to field 25man teams it became all but impossible to keep filling our ranks with quality raiders.  Add in that Alliance, even with 15+ tenacity, couldn't win Wintergrasp but once a week and BG pug's were horrible, we knew that Area 52 for our guild was a dead end.  We stuck it out as long as we could, but in the end the only option we had left was to transfer to a new home.

We weren't looking for the server with the "top" alliance raid guilds.  Nor a server that was totally dominated by alliance.  But a server that had a good balance for some world PvP and a solid raiding base.  And that's where Whisperwind came in.  From our scouting, Whisperwind was the solution, has about 4 times the alliance population that Area 52 does and around 20  guilds that are full clearing 25man ToC and a handful that are making solid progress into ToGC.  Add in that Whisperwind also has a large horde population for some great world pvp that we've already been experiencing, even in the first couple days of being here we are already seeing new life flow into LSD!
