Happy Third Birthday The Rising On July 30th, 2007, TR's distant future was not on the minds of it's founders or beginning members. In fact, the focus was the survival of TR's short term longevity... wondering if we'd even make it past the first month of existence. Many in the clan community predicted that TR wouldn't last more than a couple of months and that we would be a "flash in the pan" like several new clans had been around that time. Despite a challenging first couple of months (TA, CT, Adelais, and EOS), we soon proved to the community that we were here to stay. Over the past three years we have seen our fair share of changes, both the good and the bad. Through it all we've maintained our core values and belief that in order to maintain a successful, happy, active, and strong clan our community must always place quality > quantity. Looking back at where we've come from and where we're going, I think each member of The Rising will agree that change has definitely been a good thing :# . We extend our thanks to the clan community for the well wishes we've received this past week (we've partied non-stop) and to those who supported us along the way - as well as our rivals who motivated us to push harder in achieving our goals and becoming even better than we ever thought possible. A huge thanks to Gladz+The for starting our week off with a fun blast war, especially on such short notice :wub: . TR was victorious thanks to some very sleep ESTers :-P Onwards and Upwards TR :wub:
