My Life For IRE!...er AIUR!

I thought I'd take a minute or two to fill you in on the orgins of IRE. In the begining (1998) IRE was a bunch of local geeks getting together in the Skagit county area to play a variety of games. Initially this group called themselves sLANgg (Skagit Local Area Network Gaming Group). This group hosted several small events as well as a large county event for all the local nerds. When World of Warcraft came about a large portion of sLANgg decided to play together and rebranded themselves the IRE guild. As for the name, IRE, stands for nothing other than the definition and the great play on words to pay homage to one of our favorite games. (By the way, yes we do know it's Aiur and not Ire) IRE for the most part has broken away from WoW but when we left we had some great friends that we felt wouldn't be represented by the sLANgg name, so we decided to stick with the IRE name and change ourselves over to a gaming communitty. We have a variety of players from the l33tsauce, self absorbed, "oh I just pwn'd you in the back of the face", hardly tolerable hardcore gamer. To the "I play support classes", my mouse glitched, I'm lagging, how do I upgrade my sentry? hardly tolerable nubcakes, and somehow we all manage to get a long. Amazing.

Everyone in Ire has a passion for gaming to some degree or another, whether it be paper and pencil, console gaming or fragging friends online we all have a good time. If you have any questions or smack to talk please feel free to register on our forums. Be prepared to enjoy Ire's unique welcome and dialog. >:)
