Staff problems

[Protagonist]

I had not played in a long while. Before Uth left. Good riddance honestly. He had been a jerk* just about on every occasion. Server crash and died from crash, not being near any mobs ... Logged on after submitting the petition my character was rez'ed but standing next to a KoS mob. Got a tell "Uth tells you: gtg?" and before I can respond he had logged. Another petition later he informs me he cannot rez because it was not due to a bug or something.

That was just one incident with a staff member. The other one came when I got stuck on the monk shackle quest. The quest stopped right before the good shackle. After searching a bit on the forums and Allah of when the quest was put into the game I sent a staff member a question about the quest. The response was something like "why would I know". That urked me the most because of who the message was from.

So I stopped playing mostly because of the borked quest. However I would visit the forums from time to time. Whenever an opportunity presented itself I would let my frustrations out about the staff not exactly being polite or even decent....IE someone else would make a post and I would go over the key points of the last 2 paragraphs. No insults were said ... just the overall lack of professionalism was pointed out.

Back 3 months ago. I wanted to come back. Go to log in and my account is now banned. I make a petition asking the reason and no response yet. 3 whole months and not a word of why. Here lately I had been trying anything to get their attention anyway I can. PMs, IRC, anything...even tried AIM. Each time I'm either ignored or given 1 word answers then ignored. So... no idea why I was banned. Probably for insulting staff which I made damn sure I didn't ... at least not blatantly.

Are all experiences with the staff like this? Would have been out 3 months ago but the most the **players are good people and I don't play with staff members so why let one or two people ruin a good thing.


*he isn't staff anymore...insult implied
**players are good people EXCEPT on the forums/irc
