VoS

A new VoS rises.

VoS has been a guild since 2002, before WoW started. We officially began our WoW journey on the US-Sargeras Realm on 11/26/2004 and are among the few guilds that have endured since the beginning of this game. We transferred to Stormreaver at the end of Cataclysm, the final Horde 25-man raiding guild left on Sargeras at the time. We transferred to Illidan at the end of WoD. Many of our players have been raiding together since Vanilla.

That was the old vosguild.com and this is the new.

NEVER FORGET

Let's all raise a glass to esteemed VoS member and NYC transplantee Emily Zenner +1 (Christopher Santero)! /politeclap

On one hand, Zenner wasted a lot of breath explaining how she wouldn't lie to me because of her feelings for me and how much she cared about me. On the other hand was everything Zenner posted on Facebook when she obviously presumed that I couldn't see any of it. Why did Zenner share something so quickly, eagerly, and widely with so many if she was going to insist with me that it was nothing? Why did Zenner insist that questions should only be directed to her alone? Zenner said she was only looking out for me and doing what was best for me! I saw that. So did everybody else! FOH. The North Remembers.

We will all get to know her a little better—together—in due time but until then here are a few words she has owned since 2011.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.
