ItвЂ™s worth noting, especially for LimitвЂ™s history, that Blood Legion was not the only Guild that got burned by the raw hours it takes to raid competitively. That was our goal, to raid efficiently on a smaller schedule, and I think that has to tie into the original name - Limit.вЂќ вЂњHe was raiding all day and he wanted to be more finesse-y. вЂњI think the name probably interested because he was the one coming from Blood Legion that wanted to cut back, wanted to pull back.вЂќ Even for Tagzz, there is some speculation here. Arguments broke out between leadership and guild members on what to do. Truefire did not want the smoke and friction that came with all that grind. The old-school raiders had all become adults, used up their PTO and their sick days, and struggled to put in the hours needed to stay at the top. This guild, once legendary enough to have a documentary centered around them, would stop raiding competitively that year. Blood Legion was historic in the RWF - but not without cost.Д«y 2015, that heavy level of вЂњtryвЂќ had burnt Blood Legion to ash. ThereвЂ™s another layer of difficulty in that this is all a kind of вЂњRunning of the Guilds.вЂќ Every competitive guild worldwide all simultaneously trying to outrun the other in a Race to World First (RWF). Clearing it on a timeline, faster than literally any other guild in the world, is herculean. Blood Legion was a big name in WoW raiding, regularly being in the first 5 guilds worldwide to clear raids at the highest difficulty level (Mythic) and sometimes reaching the vaunted World First.ДЄ Mythic raid is a huge task to clear regularly. He had just come from a legendary guild called Blood Legion - perhaps one of the most tryhard names imaginable for a guild that did try very hard. This can all be immensely draining and Truefire knew the effects of that drain better than most. Competitive guilds have to gather a band of players who will pour their time into gathering the best loot, creating the best characters, developing the best strategies, and becoming one cohesive unit - all in order to clear a gauntlet of bosses and enemies (a raid/tier) as fast as they possibly can. In the MMO, raiding is every bit the effort that the name implies. (Follow along with the visual timeline here!) To understand why Truefire chose вЂњLimitвЂќ over any other one-vote option, you need to understand the dynamic of raiding and of the guilds that do it competitively. So our joke was because nobody could decide on a name, he went with the one that nobody wanted to not make anyone too upset.вЂќ вЂњThe 2nd place name was a bit more serious and he also jumped over that to go to Limit. вЂњElephant Herd was the winning vote,вЂќ but Truefire, the Guild Master at the time, vetoed it for being вЂњa very memey name.вЂќ Tagzz goes on. вЂњThere was a spreadsheet of names and was on there, it was one of the choices,вЂќ Tagzz recounts, вЂњI think it had one vote.вЂќ And how, in the end, that spreadsheet didnвЂ™t matter all that much. Tagzz has been with the Guild since the very beginning and he remembers the spreadsheet of potential names that everyone in the guild voted on. It was the case back in 2015 when the guild was still forming and its raiders were arguing over what they should be called. It was the case on January 22nd, when they became Liquid Guild - their first (serious) name change in Guild History. For Limit Guild at least, that was the case.

In a name, thereвЂ™s everything and nothing.
