The most famous guild of World of Warcraft is disbanding. At least, Nihilum is no longer participating in the race for first kills.
Those who are familiar with the raid scene of World of Warcraft know that the names of the major Mythic guilds have decreased significantly in recent years. Now, another major representative has been affected, as the raid guild Nihilum will no longer participate in the mythical race for first kills.
As reported by buffed, Treckie has taken over the guild leadership and wrote a long post on Twitlonger (see sources) explaining the end of Nihilum. The reasons given include the declining interest of players, lack of success, and the disappearance of truly skilled players. Thus, in recent years, Nihilum has fallen from being one of the top guilds, to being ranked 25th in the heroic mode of the Emerald Nightmare.
Meanwhile, the raid morale has dropped so much that they’ve only practiced on Helya for 4 hours on mythical difficulty – even though they’ve been facing her for 4 weeks. Treckie adds at the end:
“In the future, I will temporarily hold the guild leadership, but I honestly don’t know what I will do with it or if I will look for a new guild for the Night Hold. I’m not a big fan of being an officer or raid leader and I would prefer to be in a guild where I only have to take care of myself and can stream. I will definitely continue to stream, so let’s see what we will do.”
Cortyn says: Nihilum was a big name for a long time, and many players associate the successes of first kills with the guild, which makes it seem like the raid scene is “dying”. Although there are still other representatives, especially with Exorsus and many others, a long-time contender is now out of the race. However, I strongly believe that many players from Nihilum will simply join a new group to continue competing for the top and the first kill in the Night Hold.
The next raid “Night Hold” has a release date, which you can find out here.
