It's nice to believe in things

[twistidmetal]

This is my experience as a new player on red99 over the past two months:

While I was leveling, Nihilum was the only guild remotely nice to me. Twainz, Node, and Strydur were all exceptionally cool to interact with. They would answer my questions and help out however they could.

I have been trained and griefed multiple times by out of range players. All of the griefers I have encountered were Azrael or affiliated with Azrael. All of the hate tells I got were Azrael. Most of the OOC trolls are sided with Azrael. I only know a handful of Nihilum that speak in OOC, and it's usually unbecoming bickering.

I had one positive interaction with Azrael. I got stuck in a sticky situation by waltzing in on an Azrael raid. They killed me initially, but they allowed me to "loot and scoot." That was really cool of them. I remember Noah and Brennard being really nice about it.

I have never been mad about PVP interactions. It sucks to get smacked around or blind sided while leveling, but that is the nature of PVP. What does bother me is griefing without reason, exploiting, and account stealing. Azrael and Nihilum push back and forth. Both sides cast stones. I don't know the whole situation. Most of these guys know each other from long before this server started. I can't really judge the situation.

To me, Players like Heartbrand are repercussions of people doing rotten things. Heartbrand has only ever been cool to me, but he can dish it out if he chooses. Honestly, sometimes it's nice to see Heartbrand push around the people who grief on a regular basis.

What matters to me is player interactions. Who seems like a nice guild to group and raid with? I had to go with Nihilum. I'm sure Azrael has some cool people, but I haven't met them.

TL;DR: Both Azrael and Nihilum have done some crappy things. Most of these guys have the "they would do it to me" mentality, and they have had bitter interactions for years. Don't count out a guild because of the actions of a few. Take your experiences and decide what guild suits you. My guild is Nihilum.

lol. the DAY i joined <red dawn> (precursor to <azrael>, <azrael> is red dawn without heartbrand) Heartbrand asked me for info to "any clerics or druids i had" for guild purposes. (yea the fuck right, even if i had any, why would i give to some dude i don't even know?) literally 1 week later, heartbrand stripped every toon he had access to, in addition to guild bank, of <red dawn> (of which he was a CO-LEADER of) and switched over to Nihilum.

Bro. Nihilum leadership are hackers, exploiters, toon strippers, and general scum. Nihi came here for formed their own guild on red, BECAUSE they were banned on blue. Nizzar has been frapsed using MQ2. Of course none of these guys will admit it.. but they are RMTing, MQing, and immersing themselves like they got cement blocks chained to their feet.


Most nihi are fine. but leaders are scumbags. Azrael, you might not like a guy or two, but the guild and its leadership are legit. Don't know who did you wrong, but they probably didn't warp, /face, or train and instaplug ontop of you.

Every single part of this post is complete and utter bullshit. When I came back I saw Vae Victus, another samwise nihilum feeder guild, and decided I would turn it into a real guild that could compete with nihilum. I power leveled every newb I could find making unrest the de facto headquarters of the guild, and tossed out tons of shit to random newbs I had from months of guk farming. I would even farm all the wisdom casters those kithicor one hand blunt weapons with wisdom.

Eventually as the guild got bigger I decided it would be easier to consolidate all my random shit on one char who I called red dawn bank and have this be our banker should we end up killing big bosses and what not. Everything on that char however was mine, with the exception of a couple shit spells of literally zero value that people donated, three gems from hate a diamond and two jacinths, and a staff of the undead legions from Draco no one wanted. When the guild broke up I handed out the diamond to Larsen because he was a big time team player who showed up to everything, and the jacinths to bandius and someone else who I honestly can't remember. The staff literally no one wanted and I couldn't even give it away after the guild dissolved and still have it I believe.

I lost tons from the guild because it was all mine. I gave away two tcrowns, multiple pairs of gebs, tons of resist gear, plat, smrs, etc. etc. Fuck, I decked tina out when she rerolled cleric and even gave yaks and shit to her warrior which were worth a nice amount back then. For anyone who thinks I took the guild bank I would kindly ask them to get some proof of items donated to the bank that were stolen. The sky bank still exists with all its shitty isle 1-4 loot and per prior posts is still open to azrael, in fact I gave out a drop from PoS to sickpuppy from it a month ago.

I don't know what strippings you're talking about, I had access to wanyo, basiah, and cheeseycakes, I never logged on wanyo or basiah and cheeseycakes I used to port and looted him the sky helm from isle four. I wouldn't even need access to a Druid because I had zibby so your story makes zero sense, and thank god we had zibby because everyone in the guild was too incompetent to get ports or show up to raids on time, it took hours to form up, something azrael still suffers from.

I'm glad they've given you the koolaide over there and that you're drinking it hard as fuck, and I understand facts are never as exciting or interesting, but I had to set the record straight one last time.
