I can't believe WAR is back!

Seriously, I haven't been this hyped for an mmo since like 2004. I used to play on Destro a lot back on live when I mained a played a Choppa for a while. Then I switched to a DoK and was hooked immediately after doing some T1 RvR.
I remember hearing years ago when they were talking about going, I guess, pseudo ftp and I thought "Cool! Might be a good opportunity to jump back in and see how things are going. But I didn't really end up feeling compelled to do so. And then some years later when I heard about EA shutting down all the servers I realized with a pang of regret that there would be no more opportunities to play the great mmo I loved back then. Warhammer Online was officially dead! I was really disappointed that it seemed no matter where I looked there was no good Warhammer games. It seemed like the game industry doesn't have to ambition or the will to fund a project that would be worthy of the IP. I searched desperately for anything WAR that seemed promising. Eternal Crusade looked a hollow shell of Space Marine that was trying to be some Battlefield of CoD kind of thing. Total War Warhammer was pretty good.
And then out of nowhere, out of the depths of random video games clips on youtube I found it! I found out about return of Reckoning! I immediately went over to the website and made an account, downloaded the client. Was in the game looking at all the classes within the hour. I couldn't believe I was actually playing this beautiful little diamond in the rough, an experience I've sorely missed all these years.
So I just wanted to say its absolutely wonderful to be able to return this awesome mmo and thank you so much to the amazing people who were able to pour to blood, sweat and tears into making it possible. Sorry if this post ran on too long, I didn't realize till now I had so much to say.
TL;DR: I'm glad to be back on WAR after a long absence. I've level'd a dwarf Ironbreaker to 21 and counting and was wondering if there are any active NA guild who would be willing to take me into the fold. I'm the west coast so (PST 8:00)ish I think.
