ROFL. Smartass.
I meant that I lack the background to understand many of the comments made in this thread. For example, what kind of guild is The Ashen, who is Wizgoddess and why did Strakeln "Aren't they old school Riedra? / No... no sir, I will not allow it."?
I guess that makes of me a detail-junkie, yeah.
Ah... here ya go:
1) The Ashen has some top-notch old school players. Certainly, that's the type of guild you might expect A_D to be in, if his playskill at all matches his knowledge. But the thing about such guilds is, the players in them (or involved with them) tend to know each other, as they all run in the same crowd. Personally speaking, it means I probably have run with A_D on a fairly regular basis for a couple years now.
2) Old school Riedra: Riedra was one of the servers that merged into Khyber. Some will call me biased (considering that's where I hail from) but Riedra had an abundance of really good players. You can see lingering evidence of that today - ask for a list of the (best/elite/top/whatever) guilds on the server and 75% of the names returned will either be Riedra guilds or newer guilds formed primarily from Riedra players. Again speaking personally, it means I have probably run with A_D on a fairly regular basis for an even longer time, lol.
3) "No sir, I will not allow it": I'm in denial.
4) Wizgoddess is... well... an experience. He/she/it (won't confirm or deny gender, I suspect genuinely female) is rather abrasive, to say the least. You name it, Wizgoddess has probably done it... taking both pieces of raid loot as party leader in the old days, ruin runs, report people in-game left and right, etc. And for the things he/she/it hasn't done, there's probably a story that says otherwise anyway. He/she/it is tolerable and a good player if you on his/her/its good side, but even then, you watch what you type (he/she/it is well known for saving screen caps in case you need to be reported some other time).
