Well said... Back when the average player base was 20-30 people, it was friendly... Then the shard exploded into over 100+ and now we face the Rude player base... Best to report them and let staff take care of the rest...

Again a situation like this has been handled the wrong way, The staff are here for a good reason, If you know someone is doing something wrong, report it, I'm sure if it went down as you said it did (there are always two sides to every story) then leave it up to the staff to take action rather than put yourself down to there level.

To start a public bashing on players when clearly more went on is ludacris in itself.

But yeah I do support what you said, If you come to this shard it's for the right reasons, Not to come here and break rules and argue with them because you can't swear or something.

I remember when I first came here I think it was like Undertaker said max was like 25 or something silly, Everyone was nice to everyone and helped each other when needed, A lot of this still happens but the community is growing and it will never be the same because nowdays you have your individual groups, This happens when places get more and more populated.

if it was only those two (who hasn't had over 6 months game play), i would have moved away from the champ spawn and let them try to do it themselves. you can only do so much with trees, and when you hit 8 candles on ice island spawn champ it gets nuts. plus, i doubt they could kill fast enough to keep up with the candles. Eventually they would leave while you have your guild there waiting for them to do so. :twisted:

I'll never forget the day a new player saw me in the Solen Hive while I was doing the special seed color quest and had the guts to tell me to "Get out - now."

LOL!!

In a public dungeon on a free game, I was being told by a newbie to get out, as if he owned the place. How crazy is that? I was not there to fight the Solen, but rather to do the special seed Naturalist quest.

Some times you just have to laugh it off. People can act crazy. It's up to you whether you react badly to the situation, or have faith knowing that if the person continues to behave incorrectly, he/she will be punished. You can only hope you're around to witness it.

This was, like usually, a misunderstanding. I don't want to discuss the details in public but I have sent you a PM yesterday (you already logged off), so i hope that the extra info that i wrote to you will help to understand the issue better and so there won't be any hard feelings left for the future.

You cannot hold an entire group responsible for the actions of a few. There are some bad apples here, we all know that and aren't trying to hide it. While it wasn't the nicest of actions, they were in their own right and protected by the candle rule. As a few people have said, all you can do is bite the bullet or walk away.
I myself, along with others, have been turned away from champs swarmed by only WHO members, with never less than 6 in attendance. This is nothing new in the champ world, everyone has done it and will do it again.

Well once they were allowed to join the champ they get to vote. It sounds like they were pretty lame for blocking more people from joining but the most likely reason was they wanted a chance at a PS at end. You get too many people on a champ and 6 PS's doesn't go very far. ie if you have 10 people only 6 of them can get a PS. As for the not sharing the spawn at Lady Mel, last time I looked that was spelled out in black and white. Was only the polite thing to do from the beginning.

Yes Be kind to other players. I know we cannot make everyone happy but common sense rules apply as also obey the rules of the shard. I would like to think The Harpers guild can maintain dignity and if some members do not then msg Danillo Thann or some elder members about it. I left WOW long ago because I couldnt stand the rude little freaks in that game and would hate for that to happen here. Dont get me wrong I am not playing UOEX to make everyone happy but so many I have met on here are good people and offset the bad apples and I hope it remains that way.
