Why does TMO have such a bad rep? Just because they don't give to BDA (the upper middle class) doesn't mean they don't give to the poor. When I first started playing on blue, I was nothing more than a mere human warrior. I knew the ropes of the game and worked hard for my tattered/patchwork armor which I crafted myself and I sharpened my rusty weapons to get tarnished weapons. Whilst I was gathering lion pelts to make my armor, a ghoul jumped out of nowhere and I had to flee for my life. I ran through the east commons yelling for help, yet no one answered my pleas, no one but the kind souls Altari and Eccezan. They made quick work of the foul ghoul and I thanked them kindly for their services.
Being a little bit intrusive, they began to inspect my gear. I felt embarrassed by my tattered clothes as I gazed upon the pure perfection that were their items. Yet they did not belittle me, not even one bit. They instead proceeded to hand me backpacks which contained a full suit of Cobalt armor and a lamentation as well as a very sizable chunk of platinum. I was dumbfounded by such kindness and could not accept the offer at first, but as they insisted and being the simple street urchin I was, I could not refuse such a massive act of kindness.
I asked why they were being so kind and they said that they weren't always going to be around to help me so I need to be able to properly defend myself. They told me how hard starting out was for them and know that the armor could be of more use to me than just sitting in their guild bank. Just then someone started flaming TMO in ooc which then spurred me to ask the two angels of kindness in front of me how some people could hate such kind altruism. Eccezan then patted me on the head and told me "TMO isn't the guild this server wants. We are simply the guild this server deserves. So they will hunt and flame us because they know we can take it." And in a flash of light, they both vanished. I have never forgotten that day......

When I inspected you I thought, "street rat, riff-raff I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer !
