Most of my activity with the Grim had been through raiding, and the memories have all bled in together to sort of form this weird mosaic of raiding awesome (and strangeness) but I remember BC raiding very fondly. Especially taking Reg's Tier 5 helm then finding out I didn't need it afterwards xD. Mostly though I just had fun reveling in the notoriety of winning all of my rolls!
All in all I definitely felt closer to my fellow Grim during our raiding shenanigans in that time period :D.
As far as Malk, ICly is concerned, I enjoyed RPing this crazy, retardedly arrogant creature with Bloodscream and a bunch of others.
quite a few good memories actually hehe.

Re: Six Years of The Grim (OOC Version)
I remember stomping around in the lands of AoL text based rp with Coy, Tuskinar, and Syreena doing our utmost to create a healthy, viable world of fantasy with elements of backstabbing, world wars, and even cybering in the case of Syreena. She really enjoyed cybering.
One of those days of rp I heard about WoW and tried it out. My first toon was a human paladin called Taliana with a nose ring. Man paladins sucked in vanilla plus I was a total noob who didn't know any better. Afterwards I grew bored playing by myself and quit. A few months later I heard of Coy playing on Bloodscalp and made a toon on there to stealthly check it out. It was my Horde shaman Bralji of Many Walks. Somehow Syreena heard I played WoW and pestered me into joining her on TN and the Grim. Tried out a mage named Agrovale and grew bored fast. Transferred over Bralji and the rest is history.
I remember healing as Bralji as, for some reason, we needed another shaman healer. We were in ZG and the Grim were in farm mode I believe. We were fighting Hakkar and somehow I lost Guduk when I was healing him. Abric, in his infinite wisdom, told me to stop humping the doorknob and heal Guduk. Thus was my career as a healer in the Grim started.
I have so many fond memories in the Grim like watching Syreena in Bot rush forward, uncloaked, to pick some herbs without noticing the 6 or so Belf mobs there with her. That memory still makes me chuckle and why I dubbed her Queen of Noobia. Or the time when I rushed towards the Alliance mobs in Trials thinking that was our group and having Grainger chew me out. Like Malkaris I view the days of BC with fondness and Karazhan in particular.
If it wasn't for the Grim I'd never have met so many cool people in person at the annual camping trips that I look forward to. The Canadian contingent is always a cool group of cats to hang with and I can honestly say those I continued to hang with at the camping trip I'd hang with in real life if we lived closer.
The Grim is the only reason why I still play WoW and if we all moved mass exodus to another game I wouldn't give WoW a backward glance. Not hat I see it happening mind you.
Syreena is such a noob.

Re: Six Years of The Grim (OOC Version)
I think Krin summed up everything quite well. Syreena was a seductress in getting us over to this server (waving RP in front of us like a carrot, evil woman). I loved Bloodscalp; I loved raiding with my guild over there and the people (hell, I named our guild when it merged with another, and I wasn't even an officer!), but the idea of playing with people that I'd been RPing with for.... gods almighty, nearly 10 years, was too great to pass up.
Being introduced to the Grim was an amazing experience. I got my poor huntard up to 56 before BC hit. Once the expansion hit, I said goodbye to my raiding guild and transferred over my main, my shaman Shinku (turned Jarnsaxa) and the rest is pretty much history. My old raiding guild virtually collapsed; I was far from the only one who transferred away. In the end, I was happy that I came here and have had an absolute blast.
