The awards on our site are set fowarth there as a fictional way to show people whom has done what for the guild. Sorry bud, but we need funds for our server, so guess what, those that donate money are going to get a medal, much like alla does, you know the specail access thing upon paying money. Same sort of thing instead each member has the same access, just a fictional medal they can feel good about.

Now if there were one game that came close to EverQuest in my mind it would by all means be Rappelz; though the lore is completely different from EverQuest (and does not parrell EverQuest like World of Warcraft does) it has its secure feeling; however the only reason you do not see me playing is this: Unless you dump hundreds of dollars into the game per month, you cannot be "uber" as the "uber" items are bought with real life money from their site instead of earned.

So its ok for you to make money and award medals but you dont like how other games that are trying to pay for their own needs? Guess your guild memembers that dont want to donate dont deserve the "fictional medal" that the rest of you get? In Rapplez, from what you posted, it is only they that get better items than you but do you have the same access as others if you dont buy it?

#28 REDACTED, Posted: Jan 08 2009 at 11:05 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You know to post my command and assignment usually would allude that I was very secure of my past; care to tell us where you were stationed and under what command and a first/last name? That would help in research on your past to see how many regretful people that worked under/over yourself. I find a lot of people generically accuse others of their own guilt.

Wait, are you really considering yourself a disabled veteran over a stubbed toe? Wow...just wow.

Anyway, I've never had any problems with people trying to scoop players from any of the guilds I've been in(Orbis Amicitia & Legendary Bloodlines on Maelin and Legends & Legacies on Stromm). I was never even aware that it was going on.

Battle Scar, Wounded Pocketbook same thing as far as I'm concerned being if you were Armed Forces you would know you can pretty much buy any medal you wanted, though it would be a lot more of a bribe than a few bucks in a paypal account.

Wow....this just left me speachless....all I can do is come up with F@ck you.

love,
the former SGT Roz

I earned what medals I recieved, like most soldiers you F#ck wit.

In fact all you can do is divert the attention away from the matter at hand; EverQuest and the fact retards stooge from other guilds.

What's there to talk about with it? Everyone (except you) readily admits that guilds have been doing it since launch. Hell, if they had guilds in Beta then they were probably doing it then, too.

If your guild is providing what your guild members want, it shouldn't be a big problem. If you're not, expect people to get siphoned into guilds who can provide what they're looking for out of the game.

Some of the other older members correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember similar whining about another subject (KS'ing, stealing loot, IIRC) from this exact same guild on these boards awhile back (Year or 2?). It's funny, because as I was reading the OP, I thought: "Wow, this sounds like Divine Reapers" and then I saw the link.

A couple of things:

1) Since when is whining honorable? Most people I know realize there are things beyond their control, even if they are unfavorable, and they suck it up and deal with it.

2) You give a medal for people who make "large, or regular monetary contributions to the guild"? Really? What kind of contributions do you need? The server my previous guild's boards were on cost a whopping $9 a year or something like that.

3) If you're a mid-tier guild, with a few exceptional players, your members will be recruited, end of story. You can whine, boot stomp, throw a tantrum until your head explodes, and generally make yourself look like a victim on every board that pertains to EQ on the intertubes, and it will still happen. Get over it.

After reading more of your post on your forums. I realize that you are really just a drama *****. Every time you have a problem with something, you or your wife? "Breea" run here and post trying to gain sympathy for your cause.

I also think it is funny that you have such hatred towards the army yet you try to set all your rules up as though you are in the military. Examples: using army ranks as the level of people on the forums or using the 7 army values as part of your guilds charter. Maybe this is why people are leaving your soon to be dead guild.

Keep your petty drama on your guild or server forums.

Was when they came here crying about people "hacking" into a guild toon.

C'mon! You know whats really sad, there are a few people that this post actually helps out, heck have 3 messages in my inbox already saying "Hey man thanks for the heads up!

Nah. I mean, you can go out and grind out the in-game currency to buy the stuff (usually overpriced) from other players, or you can hope for exceptionally rare drops. Or you can buy it with your credit card. It doesn't make it possible, it makes it easier. It's already possible to exist and do very well in Rappelz without money.

While searching through my EQ favorites folder I found the following:

Quote:

UNDER MAINTENANCE
This site is currently under maintenance. Earlier today, we were told by our California Data Center, CalPop.com, that they were terminating our services due to "delequent account". The person that was financially responsible for this task was Mr. Richard Hupp whom passed away in 2008. During this time Mrs. Hupp said she would take care of the bill for 4 years. During this time, we have had un-interupted service. I asked CalPop that if anything billing wise were to happen with the account to please let me know so I could take care of it.

Today they said that the bill hadn't been paid in 2 years, the account was about $3,000 past due, and that I (the System Admin) had been added to the account without my knowledge during that time that Richard Hupp died. I asked, how they could put such a responsiblility on someone without even knowing their address, which was a trick question to get the fact of them having my address or not (to notify me of this event) and they read my address right out to me. That was then all of the information I needed to draw the conclusion that they had intentionally never contacted me, invoiced me, sent an email, to let me know that this account had been past due for 2 years.

Instead, when I call, I am told by the guy that runs CalPop, "If you pay the full $3,000.00 (about) before January 20th, we will be happy to give you back all of your data, if not we'll destroy it". Is it just me, or does this sound like a hostage/ransom situation?

At any rate, we have moved hosting providers to a host that has assured that I will recieve both a hard-copy of my bill and a soft-copy. In the mean time they have given me advice on routes and legal angles I can take in order to get our data back from CalPop, and maybe come out as data-center owners in the process.

I do sincerely appologize for everyones inconvienance right now and only ask that you bare with me in this most unforseen event.

If you wish to get in touch with us please send an e-mail to Lalo/Darth or Breea. We will work on resolving this as soon as we can.

Thought you used the money you recieved to pay for the server?
