Looking For Large Guilds

I'm writing some armory parsing code and I'm looking for large guild listings to test it on. If you are in or know of a guild that has more than 200 or 300+ members, could you link it please?

Ebony Masks and tombstone, both on Winterhoof US. Also I think Templars of Yo finest on winterhoof has well over 300 members

Thanks! I know there is a guild on Earthen Ring US that has 5000+ members... if anyone knows any other mega guilds like that I'd appreciate it.

I'm also looking primarily for Alliance guilds. I've got a lot of data already skewed towards Horde.

Question what do you want a big guide for? Are you in to Pvp or more into pve. Sometimes the biggest guilds aren't always the best.

Yea sorry I missed that but i'm not sure what that is. So thats why I asked what I did. What does the code do give you an average of how well the guild is geared or something along those lines?

Or is he making a scam armory?
Yeah, I'm wanting to make a scam armory. What better way than to come to the largest 3rd party WoW site and declare your intentions to the world, right?

I'm assuming he wants to do something like this:
Armory Data Mining

Similar, yes. You can see what I've got so far at

.
Thanks to everyone who helped out with recommending guilds... my guild parsing code is much more efficient now.

I've made further updates to my guild parser... could I recruit a few volunteers to test it for me? Just enter the name of your guild and select your server. The rest should be automatic.

It is taking an awful lot of time to import a guild (in this case one with about ~150 members), is that supposed to be so or is it armory that is lagging it upp? (Has taken about 10 mins so far).
Now it's done, got one question (The guild is Rising Stars EU Silvermoon) some of of places are blank, why is that? (I might aswell tell you that when it comes to stuff like this, im a total Noob.) (95 and 128 to be exact.)

Blizzard has implemented a policy about how often you can access the armory before it cuts you off. The rule of thumb is if you access a succession of armory pages quicker than 1.5 seconds per request, they'll temporarily ban the ip address making the request. I have implemented an artificial pause to help prevent that from happening.
As far as some rows being blank, that's usually due to an inactive profile or in some cases the armory just doesn't respond when you request a page.
So what's it for?
Eventually when I get a large enough sample size of armory profiles I plan on implementing various kinds of rankings based on what I call a Meta Level, which you can read about on the site. Which server has the highest score? What guilds have the highest average scores? Why do Rogues and Warriors consistently have better gear than other classes? That kind of thing... just for fun. :)

Any other mega guilds someone could link or let me know? I'm making additional optimizations and need new data to test with.
