Wow, these comments contain an incredible amount of revisionist history. "40 mans were a failure", "They were hard to organize", "only the top guilds ran them."

I don't know what servers you are referring to, and I don't know why your guild struggled, but if you took a look at the guild progression threads or sites, lots of guilds got through the content. The only "failure" was probably Naxxramas because there wasn't enough time for a lot of guilds to progress thru it before TBC came out. That was more of a scheduling failure than a 40 man failure.

The same thing would have been the case for Sunwell, had the 3.0 patch and the nerfs not come in just before WotLK. The raid size was irrelevant.

40 mans were run by lots of guilds on regularly scheduled nights the same way 25 mans are now.
