    Steelshanks has been leading XoO in Warhammer since early in beta... by the time I got into the beta, he already had a very large guild setup, with a equally large alliance. I was very impressed at the amount of work he had been able to get done while still maintaining a strong NDA policy that they had to work under. He continued to push XoO to the limits after the retail launch, and helped make sure that XoO was a strong and active guild in all things they did.

    Steel has also has helped with community policy and procedures as a valued member of the Xenate over this time as well, and XoO will miss him as he moves on to other things.

    Steel has made sure though that XoO will not be left wandering leaderless through the Chaos Wastes... He has passed on the leadership torch to Mebard. I have no doubt that while Mebard has huge shoes to fill, he is up to the challenge and our Warhammer guild will continue on to do great things under his leadership.

    So, I would like to take this opportunity to both say farewell to Steelshanks. We wish him the best on his future journeys!

    I would also like to offer congratulations to Mebard on his appointment as CO and as I say, I am sure we will see great things from him and the rest of the Warhammer group. :)

    Steel was one of the best Guild Leaders I ever had the pleasure of killing for. Good luck to ya bro! If you ever get interested in Aion, come join us! A lot of the original WAR folks are playing it.

    Only knew him briefly in Warhammer Online, but what I did see was a great guy indeed. I was anxious to see your "mooos" in Aion, but we all have our own list of games we play an not all overlap. Best of luck to you in whatever game you go to and in RL always!
