Honestly half the guild have never been in a blend before and volume only had a few active members left in it and even half of those had never done blend pvp before. A lot of KGB is very geared but a lot of KGB wasn't very geared. Basically we didn't stand a chance on the pvp level or active level. Disaster not only claimed they were the best guild but still brought over 60 very active people and allied with the entire west to fight us. It would have been an extremely boring month of us getting our teeth kicked in.
I know there was talk about if they came we would just wait for them to leave and carry on like normal but I think most people were bored of the normal in the first place numbers declining from both guilds rather rapidly including myself.
For the people who would rather quit the game I would suggest just transferring first and giving it a go. Its a chance to have a fresh look on Archeage.
