Formed in 2009 by Kitsu, handed down to Dargar, and then myself, CoHSS was formed as a guild for any mature player to enjoy.  A guild where you could play when you wanted, and have fellow guildmembers to run with, or solo if you chose.  It was a great learning experience for me, as I look back with bittersweet fondness of the guild that used to be.  We had a near-static group that played together nearly every morning.  Time and real life took its tolls, as guildies changed jobs, or acquired them.  Some moved on to other games, some started families.  Others moved on to guilds that more suited their needs such as scheduled raids and power leveling.  

Ours was a much more casual guild.  We shared loot, we helped each other level, and (mostly) avoided zerging.   At one point we had about 45 active members.   There was no real rush.  We had goals, but none so important as to take over from the fun of the game.   The Council now consists mostly of myself, and a couple other occasional players.  It's grown to level over 100.  I think the old Council members would be proud.
