Unsure about what/who to believe anymore

[Lyzard]

-I will not be naming any characters or the guild which tried to train us as this is not a thread intended to do damage (even though they probably deserve naming and shaming) but to give some positive advertisement to the other guild involved as they genuinely surprised me due to all the negative press I read-

So I was in Unrest last night in a very awesome full group which contained a certain very well twinked character whom I will not name. We were happily camping away in the fireplace room within the estate when another incredibly well geared fungi twink Iksar logged in.

Immediately, upon him logging in, our super twink engaged and proceeded to chase him out of the manor towards the zoneline. He called for us to help him but due to the speed at which everything seemed to happen a lot of us seemed apprehensive about making an enemy of this twink and only 1 of us helped.

After our twink and the mage from our group killed the Iksar I began to ask a few questions and wondered why our twink had opened up a can of whoop ass on him without hesitating. He proceeded to tell me that the Iksar was a known boxer and griefer of the server, something which he expressed his hatred for. Our group agreed with him and we continued to hunt.

We continued to XP and converse when eventually the question "What guild are you in?" was brought up. It wasn't until our twink replied "Nihilium" that I was almost speechless. Everything I've read and heard about this guild is negative, I see people Prasing OOC when a Nihili dies and people speak of them generally as if they are scum. Yet here I was in a group with a guy who up until that very minute had been nothing but pleasant and shared similar views and ethics as any upstanding P99er. Something just wasn't adding up.

5 minutes later our Nihili twink alerted us to someone who had just zoned in, stating that it was the Iksar's main and that we should be careful. I did a /who all and sure enough the Iksar had logged off. Literally seconds after I had hit the enter key the entire top floor, courtyard and basement of Unrest came teaming through our room training and killing most of our group... I sent the trainer a tell saying

"I know you're that monk that was killed by our group, but it may interest you to know that only 1 of our group chose to help him kill you, and even if we had all decided to gank you - PVP is legal, training is not"

He replied some BS about he wasn't the Iksar but a friend of his who had just come to pick him up but he had logged off, and that he was camped downstairs and hadn't realised that he trained - a likely story.



Why share all this? Genuinely I was surprised last night. I had a pretty clear picture of who I thought were the "Good" and "Bad" guys on this server. Based on nothing but 1 public RMT ban and a load of hear say. I'm not trying to say that everyone in Nihilium are saints, but judging by what I KNOW to have happened last night, I will seriously be questioning the morality of the other guilds and wondering if I judged this book too early.


TLDR Version

Grouped/PL'd by a great guy and awesome twink who turned out to be Nihilium.
Nihili twink kills other Iksar twink pretty much 1v1. (Some help from a non twinked mage)
Iksar twink logs in main and trains our entire group.
Left wondering who the real "Good" and "Bad" guys are
