With the newly formed guild, Jessikuh would contact many of the old Gorgonnash friends to come back. [[Prude]], [[Shaynuh]], [[Mandapanda]], and [[Shelarahn]] were all invited via Facebook chats and encouraged to return from the game, for some after several years of hiatus. Since many of the old gang was returning after a long time, the first few weeks were spent leveling and trying to get into contact with old friends trying to lure them back to the game. Once most everyone was to the appropriate level, the guild began venturing into Raid Finder, and eventually into doing their own Normal Mode raids. | With the newly formed guild, Jessikuh would contact many of the old Gorgonnash friends to come back.

6 months after the launch of Mists of Pandaria, Friend Zone had found itself stagnated and unable to attract the required talent to become the cutting edge raiding guild it had envisioned itself as. The guild master of a recently transferred raiding guild, <[[Check Please]]> reached out to the officers of Friend Zone to propose yet another merger. However, in his ever vigilant and paranoid state, Shelarahn delved deeper into the matter, find the guild very untrustworthy, and when details of the merger were laid out, it was revealed it was more of a hostile takeover, with the branding of Friend Zone to be disbanded and its raiders absorbed into Check Please. Shelarahn, with the help of the young VIGIL, tanked the merger, saving the guild. Vitaminwater and Nawp, however, were livid, believing Shelarahn had hindered the guilds chances at success. This began the slow crack between the officers of Friend Zone and Shelarahn. | [[File:Dorkfight.png|upright|right|thumb|Kinas and Nawp were both notable members in the community.]] | ||

Despite this lost opportunity, Friend Zone went on to achieve success on its own terms. With the Throne of Thunder tier, Friend Zone finally began beating Vox to server firsts and eventually became the top guild on the server, at the 25 man level. This success at that level would continue on into the final raid tier, Siege of Orgrimmar. | Despite this lost opportunity, Friend Zone went on to achieve success on its own terms.
