What you are saying is completely irrelevant. #1 my avatar has nothing to do with in-game…and I only have it on as my avatar as a protest against the censorship that I am currently enduring.

Additionally, the Wutang (Wudang) Mountains are an actual place in China and have a rich cultural history that is deeply rooted in martial arts. It’s a pilgrimage site for people the world over who follow Taoism. The Five Dragons Temple for example, was constructed at the behest of Emperor Taizong of Tang. In 1994 the Wutang Gardens were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You cant copy right an entire region of the world – it doesn’t work like that. If I had a character named “Atlantic” or “Appellation” or “Antarctica” would I be censored? My contention is that no, no I would not be.

In martial arts the skill qinggong translate to “Inner Flame” – SOUND FAMILIAR? LEVEL 56?

In no way am I infringing on the copy rights of the RZA, the GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah and the Method Man. These guys have nothing to do with Wu’Tang in the context and cultural sense that I am using the term Wu’Tang. You insinuating that I am intentionally breaking the rules is appalling and quite rude. Wu’Tang is traditional martial arts surname that has meaning in Norrath. Not only does it pay homage to an entire region of the world for which we as Americans take for granted, it also pays homage to Master Wu of Norrath.

If you want to go further down the rabbit hole I will post you my entire reasoning why I am being unfairly targeted and why this whole thing is a big misunderstanding and that my name should be restored

I grouped with a guy named “Weedlord Bonerhitler” in game not so long ago, yet god forbid we use names that are both culturally and historically relevant (Both in EQ and in the Lore the class is based on) to the class I am playing.

I tried red. The only sociable and well adjusted players I met there were folks like me who were also trying red for the first time. They all quit almost immediately once they hit 50+ because reasons that have already been listed.

For me, it happened in Gfay. Some random guy just ran up to us while we were forming up a guild group and started talking lots of hateful autism spectrum shit. He couldn't attack us, so we ignored him. He logged and came back with another character, saw that he still couldn't attack us, talked more shit, and logged out. Then he came back with ANOTHER character that was in range to attack us AND red con and fungi twinked, and then faceplanted our entire group.

Guild group broke up after that.

Asked our guildy druid if he could port the rest of us so that we could XP somewhere else. He said he was available to port, but that it'd cost us 150p each.

Logged out and rolled a new blue character. Having fun ever since.

What would really help is if empire would stop recruiting.

The already small number on the opposing side have nobody to recruit from as they lose players

Cant hate on empire for needing to recruit if they truly need more to do content.

Just a sorry state of affairs on red99. There is not enough new players to have a chance of real guild vs guild pvp.

it would be refreshing to see somebody like fandango who i assume is pretty much bis now to stop taking the easy route and walk the walk by switching sides and enjoying a new challenge.

people like colgate and gongshow were getting raped for the first 3 years of the server and then got handed server by corrupt staff (derubael, FIRED) so now they are on a quest to get their revenge!!!111

Fandango is definitely a multi-time BiS’er

“Bathed In Sweat” due to obesity and poor life decisions. “Basement-dwelling in SouthCarolina” because that’s where his ma lives. “Born into Shame” with the micro pen!s disorder.

Red would be more entertaining if BDA moved to red 99.
