I wonder if it has occurred to you that I am not Hasbinbad, that I don't have his radical mood swings and authority issues and that I didn't raise hell within the guild for its own sake. Everything I did or said within that guild was marginalized until I ceased to give a fuck.
Log in some time and do /who all inglo. I guarantee that you will recognize less than one third of the names. Do you think that's because everyone who has left are uncontrollable assholes? Or do you suppose it's because the management treats the membership like entry level McDonald's employees and churns through new members at a similar rate?

I actually think it's mostly because classic EQ just doesn't have that much content. I have kept in touch with a few IB dudes who stopped playing around the same time as me, and we are all a) excited to come play again for kunark and b) happy that we will still be valuable, well geared members of IB once we do start playing again.
Classic EQ just doesn't have all that much to offer after a while imo. I've got a few level 50 characters, had undoubtedly the best geared mage on the server until I returned my dragon loot to the guild, killed every single pre-sky raid mob with 3 groups or less. I've got manastones, full sets of rubi, thex daggers, you name it. I "beat" classic EQ a long time ago, and once I beat a game I lose some of my interest in it, like most people do.
Once kunark comes out I fully expect IB to continue to be the dominant raiding force on the server. Can you really blame the people who already beat the game for stopping playing it and waiting for new content?
Also once Hasbinbad and Reiker were both removed from IB I never felt anything remotely like "Or do you suppose it's because the management treats the membership like entry level McDonald's employees" but I don't tend to take shit from video games too seriously so maybe I just wasn't seeing it.
