Frostreaver has been in existence in some capacity or another for over 5 years. We originated in the World of Warcraft BETA, which was our first game as a clan together. Realox was the first Guild Leader of the clan and as a result is considered the founder of the clan. All hail the destroyer of worlds.
During our time in Warcraft we existed as a Horde Guild on the Nathrezim Server. Frostreaver Clan was one of the first clans created on the server and to this day is remembered by many that are still there.
We were first conceived as an Orc exclusive guild with many RP elements. We carried out in-game meetings in places such as the crossroad tavern, organized world raids on places such as Booty Bay in Stranglethorn and etc. As time progressed and the clan grew, things changed as they always do in gaming clans, people leave and policies change. It was during Realox's absence that Stewker, who had been second of command in the clan for several months, stepped into the former leader's shoes and took the helm.
Was during this time that many core changes happened. The RP elements were slowly let go and a focus on progression in both PvE and PvP took hold. The change from Orc only to include all horde races was a bumpy one with many people on both sides arguing against each other ending in a debate between Stewker and several of the officers. In the end the decision was made to include other races as content progression was impossible as a guild without them. This choice saw a large jump within the clan as membership began to soar above 100 members. Culminating with an all time high of ~140 members active within a weeks time. Much progress was made during this time, organized raids/groups were created and the reputation of the clan grew. In-game drama finally took hold though which can run rampant within a large clan so it wasn't to last forever. The guild disbanded and people went their separate ways. Many of which though still remember the clan fondly and can say it was one of their best MMO experiences.
After this the clan remained largely dormant for a extended period of time. Realox and Stewker did separately make Frostreaver clans within different games: FFXI, EVE Online and Hellgate: London, but none were to last or reach the grandeur of the Warcraft FRC. It was only with the coming of Tabula Rasa that the clan regained it's strength and a long-term base was created once again.
The beginning of the Tabula Rasa clan started with an IM between Realox and Stewker. Stewker mentioning his intention to create the clan anew and Realox's suggestion of using Tabula Rasa as a platform. Cassiopeia was the server selected and the clan was created.
Many of our best members joined us there. Diss and Nushen, both of which have given much to help advance the FRC stand out above the rest. Our stint in Tabula Rasa also saw the rise of our current website, rule set and general ranking system. Under the helm of Stewker and the other officer's the Frostreaver Clan did very well on the server becoming known as one of the better Clans to war against if you want a challenge but also a fair fight. Tabula Rasa culminated with FRC reaching #1 on the server leaderboard. As a note Realox's biggest contribution during this time was the actual choice of the game and server, if not for those choices, the clan as it is today would probably be much different in both look and make up. Tabula is the current roots to the clan is it is now.
From Tabula Rasa after a small downtime between games, Frostreaver Clan moved on to Age of Conan. A game that had much promise and was exciting a lot of people at the time. This is also the first time since Warcraft that the clan began to recruit before the actual release of the game. This was done through various forums and to a small extent the game's BETA. Frostreaver's time in Conan was a good one, if not spectacular. We managed to secure several alliances with different clans, and managed to reach raid content with several stints of success. Also Conan saw the departure of Realox from the ranks of the FRC, due to both to an admitted lack of free time to put towards the clan and disagreements with leadership. In conclusion, Frostreaver saw a large boost in our long term members during our time in Conan, including both Galadan and Sorcha both who are now well respected officers within the clan.
The exit from Conan was due to several issues, but mostly a lack of game content. In small part as well was due to the departure of Stewker for a leave of absence. In his absence, Stewker promoted Diss to Guild Leader with him, giving him authority to take the helm. This brings us close to the current state of the clan. In the month between then and the time of writing this history Diss overhauled the website, changing it from a Conan theme to a Warhammer theme. Reorganized and promoted members within the clan. Cleaned the roster of people not coming with us after leaving Conan and etc.
