False Hopes, origin of the name

The first time I wanted to name a guild False Hopes was like 8 months ago, when the guild I was back then merged with another raid guild on Vekni'lash. I thought False Hopes would carry appropriate irony (not to mention that it sounds kind of cool) since the aim of the merger was to actually be able to raid better. We hoped to raid better and by naming it False Hopes I think we would have conveyed a message of good self-irony.

Oh well, it didn't happen. The guild became Incareporated to mock an Alliance side raid guild.

However the origin for the name False Hopes is from a story. I am / used to be quite active on DeviantART, doing digital art and photography myself. Through DA I found a talented artist and writer whose short story false hopes :: gun dreams inspired the name as well. The story is twisted, dark, emo and gay, but I liked it.
