azrael didnt poach members from red dawn

[heartbrand]

The members stated they felt they wanted more loot out of our arrangement with Nihilum. Personally I thought we were getting a lot and should be happy, but I did what members wanted and tried to work for more. Ultimately, that nothing to do with anything. Our numbers dwindled, not because people left, but because the majority of our newer players stopped logging in because EXP was nerfed, and typical Red99 burnout. Coupled with the fact that the wave of new players stopped [the initial RD wave which was brought by the shutting down of EQMac], it wasn't feasible to build towards the numbers needed for Velious. I'm more than confident RD could have continued on and sniped mobs on sim repops and the like, but the goal for the guild was to kill things in Velious, not snipe a couple of 32k hp mobs.

[also like 8 people losing their accounts due to Sektor didn't help]

Whos genius idea was it to associate with/share info with a KNOWN rulebreaker?
qq u made ur bed now sleep in it

Yes, because I can absolutely know in advance that Sektor logged into Player_01's account in 2012 for 30 seconds and therefore is likely to be banned.

Is that the story we're going with now?

Not sherrif srs? Cyren is banned because sektor logged into his account before, same with Exed, Mordeath etc. The GM's just did a IP Query and banned all accounts Sektor ever logged into.

Wasn't Sektor himself in RD? Forgive my ignorance.

[Tassador]

Let's make a list of who takes eq to serious and ban those fuckers.

[Rellapse36]

How many permanent bans ever been gave out? like 2 salty and abacab

Sektor is/was a cool dude always down to help people when he was around.

Your choice to ally with Nihilum was a bad move. It cost you a whole lot of time/effort.

was personally sad to see RD go. Was starting to redevelop respect for them the week before they disbanded. they actually started to pvp even when they knew they were going to lose. Something I was trying to tell topjew before i guild disbanded, the guild needs pvp experience win or lose doesnt matter. Will not win velious with gear and levels alone, pvp experience is more important than both.

Azrael VS Nihilum is a perfect example. 3 out of 4 mass pvp fights the past 2 weeks nihilum has outgeared us and had 5-10 more members than azrael yet Nihilum gets shit stomped everytime.

Here's how "allying" with Nihilum decision came about [aka they give us a mob to not work with Azrael]

I bat phoned RD, we had TS meeting

"hey guys, Azrael split from the guild to do their own thing, Nihilum wants to give us a mob if we don't work with AZ, what do you guys think?"

"Awesome" "fuck AZ "Wow thats great" "Yes"

It was about 95% unison, with the exception of like Badger who left. Anyone who didn't approve of it and kept it to themselves rather than voicing their opinion, and then rage quit over it, I have zero respect for. We had an open discussion, and everyone was free to give their thoughts. But keep pushing that party line dawg.

I dont really feel all that much bad blood between us. I didnt believe in your vision to be political with nihilum. I want to kill them all and take their pixels from them, not share them. Ever since azrael got even numbers with Nihilum, we have been winning every fight and taking every raid mob we wanted. Cant even use the excuse nizzar isnt around things will change etc because he was around when the shit stomping began. Would support your application to azrael if you ever were interested. people need to let the past go and realize people grow and change overtime. Not everybody stays the same forever, i believe in 2nd or even 3 chances.

No one is ever going to agree with every decision the leader makes. Did you think HB made decisions that he thought was best for the guild? Do you think he cared about the members success? Do you think he added value with playtime, accounts and pixels to his members? Did he have knowledge of PvE encounters?

Completely inexcusable to complain as much as some ex RD members have about HB leadership with this RD Relaunch. I understand feuds people have with HB personally from past events or guilds but hating on his leadership skills or choices this time around isn't warranted.

It would be very tough for you to pick out one other person on this server that would have done a better job or gone further than HB did with what he had to work with from day one of the Red Dawn relaunch.
