The main members of the guild briefly got real into Guild Wars 2 at launch, but the venture was shortlived with Mists of Pandaria looming. | |||
=== Merger === | |||
Realizing the depth of the talent pool on Darkspear was limited and spread across many potential raiding guilds, the officers of Friend Zone looked back to the old days. A group of old Alliance members from Gorgonnash had recently transferred to Darkspear to play together, and the idea was quickly pitched by Vitaminwater and Shelarahn to see if they could merge them into Friend Zone. After a brief period of deliberation, the group in its entirety decided to join, doubling the raiding force and putting the guild in prime position to make a run for server first kills. | |||

The guild made a great attempt at the first tier of the expansion, but failed to take any server first, losing them all to Vox Radix. The raid team at this time consisted mostly of new recruits and the merger people. Prude and Manda had quit months before to live together, and several other founding members had also either quit or stopped raiding. Shelarahn had switched from his Druid to his Hunter, but coupled with increasing internet issues, was unable to raid and eventually voluntarily left the main raid team sometime during Heart of Fear progression. | |||
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. | |||

VitaminWater pitched the idea of having a Minecraft server to Shelarahn late in 2012. Shelarahn who at the time was the primary financier of the guild as well as website and IT go-to, set up a Technic server. Many of the Friends played, but desire was expressed for a vanilla server, so the server was wiped and a new map was started on Vanilla Minecraft. Sometime later, the map was again changed back to a Technic build. | |||
