| − | <The League> was formed in mid-November, 2007, with the intention of reorganizing many of the Horde's leading raidfolk under a new banner. Most of the initial membership were previously members of <Unchained>, and <The League> was started to preserve much of the progress of that former group after its dissolution. Since its founding, the guild has attracted many of the faction's most accomplished raidfolk, including folk from former guilds <Proven>, <Shadows of the Forgotten>, <Wrath>, <Grand Council>, and <Vengeance>. |

| + | [[Category:Humans]] |
||
| − | During a short period of recovery from the upheaval which accompanies guild dissolution and reformation, the guildfolk focused on the relatively new challenges in [[Zul'Aman]], netting several realm-first accomplishments therein. After a period of recruitment, the guild quickly picked up where <Unchained> had left off, with [[Horde]]-leading progress in [[Serpentshrine Cavern]] and [[The Eye|Tempest Keep]], dispatching both of [[Illidan]]'s lieutenants. |

||
| − | === The Crusade: Tier-6 === |
||
| − | After unlocking access to the venues of [[Hyjal Summit]] and the [[Black Temple]], <The League> made steady progress through both venues, accumulating Horde-first kills of each of the opponents therein. The guild's progress remained significantly behind that of the leading [[Alliance]] raiding groups, owing to some personnel turnover and the relative scarcity of skilled and dedicated raidfolk on the [[Horde]] side of the realm. Overcoming these challenges and continuing to make steady progress towards [[Illidan]] administered some valuable lessons on personnel management, and several policies and systems were updated along the way to better serve the whole of the guildfolk. After dispatching Archimonde on March 13, 2008, <The League> achieved the Horde's first kill of [[Illidan]] on May 19, and on our 23rd kill of the fellow (October 29), the rogue Krothius received the only Horde-side [[Warglaive of Azzinoth]] obtained before the release of the [[Wrath of the Lich King]] expansion. |

||

||
| − | === The Brick Wall: Fury of the Sunwell === |
||
| − | After traveling the Tier-6 venues for several weeks, <The League> made its first forays into the final content area of the game's first expansion, the [[Sunwell Plateau]]. As with many guilds behind the leading edge of progression, we found the challenge level of the encounters in the place to be a stiff obstacle to achieving much in the place, and for several months, we settled for clears of the trash packs before the first boss and focused on clearing the Tier-6 venues to obtain maximal gear levels. Eventually, the guild was able to defeat the [[Kalecgos]] event, earning a Horde first on August 17, 2008. Moving beyond to [[Brutallus]] proved extremely difficult for the group, as the encounter tuning and raid structure of the time required a significant amount of class stacking to provide much chance of success. With the low population of the realm and our inability to field the precise raid group structure required to progress, the guild and its folk had reached a crossroads. Several folks opted to step away from the game, and those who remained contented themselves with routine clears of the Tier-6 venues each week. A similar strain had been felt on the [[Alliance]]-side of the realm, and the prominent raiding guilds <acies> and <Modus Operandi> on that side dissolved during this time, with members transferring or leaving the game. With some recruiting and a few members changing roles, we managed to keep the group together and looking forward to the forthcoming expansion. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With the introduction of the [[Patch 3.0.2]] game version on October 14, the addition of new talent trees and the significant reductions in the health of opponents at last opened the doors to progress in [[Sunwell Plateau]] for the guild. Shortly thereafter, <The League> became the first and only group to defeat the final four opponents of the venue, albeit with the caveat that the kills took place "post-nerf". While awaiting the expansion, the guild notched a total of four clears of the first expansion's final content area, carrying some momentum into [[Wrath of the Lich King]]. |
||

| − | ==== Accomplishments ==== |
||
| − | * Horde-first kill of [[Kalecgos]] (pre-3.0.2) |
||
| − | * Horde-first kill of [[Brutallus]] (post-3.0.2) |
||
| − | * realm-first kills of [[Felmyst]], [[Eredar Twins]], [[M'uru]], and [[Kil'jaeden]] (all post-3.0.2) |
||
| − | * only raid group to complete [[Sunwell Plateau]] prior to second expansion release |
||
| − | <br> |
||
| − | === A New Dawn: Wrath of the Lich King === |
||
| − | The arrival of the retail release of the [[Wrath of the Lich King]] expansion (November 13, 2008) began a new era for <The League>. From the ashes of the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion, the guild entered the new frontier of [[Northrend]] with a fair amount of optimism. The first days of the expansion focused on advancement to level 80 and saw many of the Realm First achievements gained by the guild membership. Several folks who had taken a break during the Sunwell struggles returned, and the group moved quickly to become ready to tackle the newly-available Tier-7 raid areas. Scarcely a week after release, members of <The League> entered [[Naxxramas]]'s 10-person version and over the three days of November 21-23 became the first folks on the realm to defeat each of its opponents, along with realm-first 10s slayings of [[Sartharion]] and [[Archavon the Stone Watcher]]. The guild capped off the 10s achievements with the realm-first defeat of [[Malygos]]-10 on November 24. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The arrival of the expansion had also brought about a resurgence in [[Alliance]]-side raiding on [[Server:Sentinels US|US-Sentinels]], with the return of [[Guild:Acies (Sentinels US)|<Acies>]] and the arrival of [[Guild:Abaddon (Sentinels US)|<Abaddon>]], a group of folks largely new to the realm. Several of the folks from the [[Alliance]] raiding scene banded together to make the first forays into the 25-person versions of the Tier-7 venues, including many of the early large-group [[Naxxramas]] progression kills. Their kill of [[Sartharion]] on November 28, accompanied by the [[Realm First! Obsidian Slayer]] server announcement, served to galvanize the members of <The League> into taking up the pursuit of the large-group raiding scene more rapidly than planned. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Several members who had been leveling at a leisurely pace quickened their efforts, and the guild's first 25-person group in the new expansion was fielded on December 3, with a realm-first kill of [[Patchwerk]]. The following day, <The League>'s raidfolk notched the realm-first kills of the remaining three opponents in [[The Construct Quarter]], [[Sapphiron]] and [[Kel'Thuzad]]. That last earned the members present the [[Realm First! Conqueror of Naxxramas]] achievement and corresponding title. A few days later, on December 7, the 25-person version of [[Malygos]] was defeated for the first time on the realm, earning those guildfolk the [[Realm First! Magic Seeker]] achievement. The guild went on to accumulate realm-first defeats of [[Sartharion]] in his two- and three-drake versions on both 10- and 25-person variants, as well as the server's first completion of the [[Glory of the Raider (10 player)]] meta-achievement. Only an inopportune [[Kel'Thuzad]] wipe at 3% of an attempt at [[The Immortal (achievement)]] prevented a guild completion of the 25-player meta-achievement before the drake rewards were removed with [[Patch 3.1.0]]. |

| − | === The Titans: Secrets of Ulduar === |
||
| − | With a solid position as the leading progression guild on the realm, <The League> continued its focus with the introduction of [[Ulduar]] on April 14, 2009. The guild continued its progress with realm-first kills of many of the normal-difficulty opponents in the [[Titan]] stronghold on both 10- and 25-person versions, culminating with defeats of [[Yogg-Saron]]-10 on May 1, and the large-group version two days later. The guild's then looked towards the hard-mode versions of the events, securing realm-first completions of all but one 10-person hard-mode events, and all of the 25-person hard-modes. On July 6, Evelinda became the first person on the realm to complete the [[Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings]] construction quest for her legendary healing mallet. <The League> became the first group to gain access to [[Algalon the Observer]] (25) on October 1, and a short while later, became the first group to defeat him, earning the [[Realm First! Celestial Defender]] for those intrepid souls. Members of the guild were also the realm's first to complete [[Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player)]] and [[Glory of the Ulduar Raider (25 player)]] to earn their proto-drake mounts. |
