Some sad news for anyone who’s been around since the start of WoW, as this guild name will surely ring a bell; A top US raiding guild, Death and Taxes has disbanded.
There has been no official announcement yet, but the front page of the Death and Taxes website is displaying a banner that reads “Rest in Peace Death and Taxes Beta 2004 - May 2008”, which then goes on to list all their World first and US first kills, the most recent one being Illidan Stormrage almost 1 year ago.
The date of their last “first” perhaps goes a long way in explaining why the guild decided to call it quits. According to a source, D&T were having trouble keeping members after killing Illidan, with nothing new to try until recently when Sunwell came out, but by that time a lot of the damage had been done; A mass recruiting drive to make up the members they had lost resulted in a lower level of raiding quality than they were used to, and they found Sunwell a lot harder than they should have.
This must have been the last nail in the coffin for them. It’s always sad to see things come to an end, but who knows, maybe we’ll see something better rise from the ashes - word is, a lot of them are re-rolling Horde on the Blackrock server.

I agree with you but lets not turn up the burner.
If you care about special accomplishments: this guild used to be very good at them. I remember them for their Molten Core speed records and such, not their world first kills.
Newsworthy within the wow community? yes! no doubt about it!
