We're dead, Jim. Most of our accounts are going to be inactive by the end of the year. There's a very slim chance that we will reanimate for the next expansion.
A lot of friendships were forged in this guild, friendships that have persevered in the offline world. Members of Clawshrimp & Co go to PAX together, go on vacations together, visit our homes and share food and drink together. It seems to be a rare experience to meet people in these Massively Multiplayer Online games and truly enjoy their company in real life. I know Creidhe and I have certainly found our lives all the richer for knowing you.
Ultimately the death blow was struck by Garalon. The raids of Pandaria were poorly optimized for a 10 man raiding guild, and we found ourselves increasingly hard up for pure stats and attendance. Unfortunately, Flex-Raiding came too late. We might have made a recruitment push and rolled on with more than 10 raid members at a time, but our passion had waned. Ah well.
Thank you. All of you. It's been a great game.

Spoiler:
Clawshrimp and Co!
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/guild/draenor/Clawshrimp_and_Co/
<Clawshrimp and Co> are an Arcadian friendly Alliance guild on the US-Draenor server. The core of the guild is made up of Penny Arcade forumites and their friends and family, most of whom understand the ways and means of our bizarre corner of the internet.
How Do I Join?
We are a casual guild, but passionate and dedicated to creating a fun and successful environment for our guild mates. Do you want a place to socialize and troll trade chat for an hour after work? Do you just want to run a few heroics with silly persons? Do you want a relaxed raiding experience with an emphasis on fun rather than slamming our nethers in a door for four hours? Clawshrimp just might be for you.
On Draenor, you can type "/join PA" to join the Penny Arcade chat channel, you can /who Clawshrimp and ask an officer for an invite (Cellophane, Ylon, Jermy, Creidhe, Noisymunk), and you can post here in the thread to let us know you'll be dropping by. When you join, be sure to sign up for our website, http://clawshrimpandco.enjin.com/login, for access to our guild forums and news.
What Classes Do You Need?
Our needs are fairly well met right now, however, we'll accept anyone into this guild no matter what level, gear, or spec. Come one, come all, come on Eileen.
What Do You Expect Of Me?
Obey Wheaton's Law, don't be a dick.
If you are raiding, be on time (to be early is to be on time and to be on time is to be late) and stocked with the consumables and gear sets you might need.
Can your class fill more than one role? You don't have to be proficient in all of them, but you will be included in more activities if you gear for more than one spec.
Don't be a baby. No, really. A fair amount of jackassery is a part of any Penny Arcade group, so wear your big-kid pants, and wear them on your head.
When does stuff happen?
Team Clashromp raids on Sunday evenings at 2pm server time (PST) and Wednesday evenings at 6pm PST. If Old School raiding is your thing, you dirty achievement whore, we love to take a random weeknight and drunkenly plow through old dungeons and make dick jokes. The guild is most active in the evenings after everyone gets home from work.
Butts Butts Butts!
We like to talk about butts, smutty Mass Effect fanfic, and sing to eachother, and we do it with a program called Mumble.
You can get mumble here: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/.
And the pertinent info:
Servername: Anything that you want, just the name of it on your favorite list.
Address: east3.mmo-mumble.com
Port: 59257
Name: Whatever you want us to call you.
Protip: Type "Butts Butts Butts" in the message box so we know that you are a person of taste.
