Uh oh, immersion levels thru the roof with characters on both servers....you people need to take a step back. You literally post EVERY DAY, it's not healthy.

And picking fights on an internet forum is something any reasonable and well-adjusted person would do.

When you put it into Aesop Fables perspective it makes perfect sense.

Either way, I really hope dude is just trolling. If he doesn't consider any of his guildmates friends then this thread just got super depressing.

You can tell by the weekly "My guild fucked me and turned their back" threads that people here are really good friends with each other, and not a group of socially inept weirdos bound together by their pathetic quest for old pixels and willingness to lick asshole for a year to get something. Slurp slurp it up man, you rock

That's the thing tbough, BDA doesn't really lose members. People just stop playing because they're tired of the raid scene. We've lost all of 2 people to Awakened since the start of Velious. We still exist because we all get along, we aren't a band of mercenaries that disbands when the pixels dry up.

That's like saying that people don't leave the Amish. It's mostly true, but the real reason for it is fear of shunning.

Doesn't really hold weight considering people who were longtime BDA that left for IB/Rampage came back to BDA.

Wait...
We can leave?
How do we leave????

Quit EQ in 2004...or 05. The year WoW was released. About 3 months later my buddy got me in to WoW.

I didn't guild for a long time because I was tired of that seen which was a shit storm in EQ. It wasn't just a shit storm, but I was tired of it.

2 months later in WoW, I met a dude that helped me with some quests in Black Rock Spires. His buddies came and hooked me up with all sorts of help.

He then asked me to join his guild....and said "They would make an exception for me". I didn't get that so I asked what he meant. The guild was ....I think Le Falcons Argentes. It was a French only guild. Everyone in that guild didn't exactly know each other but they were all from either Montreal or Quebec city.

After joining them and getting in to the raid scene. It was great. They were really good people. I didn't understand a damn word in Vent but they would either bust out with some quick broken English or /w me instructions on raids. They went out of their way to make the ONLY English speaking dude they allowed in guild to fit in with them.

Couple years later they said they were having a get together and offered to pay for my plane flight up. I paid my own way and had a blast with everyone.

FUNNIEST thing ever. Not one of them was fat and/or a neck beard. They were all very hospitable and great people who I wouldn't mind befriending. Eventually I moved to VT and drove up to Montreal almost every weekend to visit these really cool people and became personal friends with a few of them.

-------

That is why a person like me, normal, abnormal, or whatever you think I am; Will always stay with BDA. They are those types of folks who are cool, fun to hang with in game and (because I've yet to go to one of the meets) are awesome to hang with in RL.

I never understood the BDA hate tbh. But then I've not had significant interaction with then since I play red now. There are definitely some volatile forum personalities, but I think that is just representative of forum personalities. Are you all really assholes?
