View Full Version : I get the picture, I quit ddo....



Awaken
08-08-2007, 06:05 AM
Ok, I get the picture, I not only have ****ed off most original people from Argonnessen, but now I have all my old guild members up in arms.
Most will not speak to me anymore or even wave since I voluntarily left the guild. I know I left in bad terms.
I was hopping to quit ddo with a bit more dignity, but I guess I can just walk away now, and at least keep a bit of it to myself.
Thank you all for the times, great, or bad, it was still good for me.
Since the beginning I knew that I was going to at least make a dent in the fabric of this server, whether is by leaving a lasting impression on people good or bad, or forming one of the servers biggest co-op guilds ever. I at least tried... I would like to thank everyone who has been a friend to me, mainly Lowe, and Eric. And the few that where nice to me, most everyone else in AUM. I would also like to thank all the members of Tinted Faces for making my ddo experience a living hell every day, and to the people I have ever rubbed of on the wrong way. I AM SORRY....
I wish you all luck and tons of enjoyment in the ddo world, I will not be giving any of my things away, so please do not ask. I will let everything I own, and all my experiences in ddo die, here and now. I still have the same e-mail address, if any friends ever wants to get hold of me.
I will visit the forums once in a while.

Goodbye to you all.

would you at least be so kind as to send back any items members may have given you, as well as any other donations that where intended for the guild house.

Well your probably going to take this the wrong way, but I for one will miss you. Maybe not since you formed AUM, but when we were in DMK together we had some good times, and I am truly sorry that you are leaving. See you later man.

Why leave? It is safe to assume that one may not get along with a monir or even a major group of people on a cluster server. There have been wonderful people you have played with, keep playing with them.

Sometimes a guild is not the way to go either. It can be harder when things get sour. Just turn off you mic for a while and have fun. Ignore the people that make the experience unhealthy for you.

Just enjoy. Start ona new server..

Join a xoriat guild :eek: and po everyone off.

This sort of stuff happens so often it amazes me.

I have no idea what, or who, has a problem, but geez, get over it.

This is a game - one that is played for entertainment/relieve boredom etc.

This is not real life guys - I cannot belive so many petty squabbles that appear in it, and are taken to heart like it is the end of the world.

If someone dislikes you so much, reroll another toon and dont group with them.

Why ask for items back? Can you use them at work? Do you use your Vorpal longsword on your partner? If you cared about them so much why give them away in the first place?

If you cant handle human interaction on the web, good luck for when you decide to get out of your chair and join the real world.

Dream - this isnt aimed at you in particular - but all and any that have posted threads like this.

If you have done something to alienate people, it is likely that things will go better if you refrain from such behavior in the future.

It doesn't matter whether you're in DDO, another MMO, or (so called) real life. If you put others first, you will be happy, and if you put yourself first, you'll be miserable.

or forming one of the servers biggest co-op guilds ever. .


I'm not going to name the guild, but

NOT ACCURATE. Despite massive propoganda, forum recruitment, and spamming guild invites to the unguilded on the WHO list - this guild never really rose past the 2nd tier, or even the 3rd tier. It has serious problems with revolving door membership, and it's leadership (guild-founder and leader recently abandoned the guild suddenly, and new leader has a side guild project going and may soon do the same.) Even "co-op" doesn't really describe it, as one of the biggest knocks against the guild is it has few guild activities or guild groups. It's probably the most likely guild tag you will find while pugging.

Awaken, you really only need to break from the game for a bit, not quit it altogether. I figure you expected to break from the **** you run into in the real world when you log in, but you have to remember that the game is staffed by the very same people.

You may even want to try breaking from the current server as the break. You may find it's not all you. You will be missing out on meeting some good folk from Mabar tho, but I figure they may be the norm. You may want to create a toon on whatever server the haters from Xoriat were deported to. When you return the brats here will look pretty weak.

Finally thanks for building up the guild so well, its running under its own power and you have yourself to thank for that.

Laters,

Taldrok I guess since awake is leaving you must be sad. No one to bash anymore. Now you are resorting to spewing lies about his former guild. Guess you need someone or something else to bash or your life won't be complete. And about the website yes it is down right now. It will back up again in the very near future that I assure you. When something like this happens it can either tear a guild apart or make it even stronger. Guess what we are stronger than ever. Sorry taldrok guess I'm compounding your sadness even more now. AUM is here to STAY!!!!!

Well, I hadn't originally planned to put any of this onto the DDO forums, but since you brought it up....

I can't speak for everyone. I can barely manage to speak for me.

But no one I've talked to in the guild has any desire for you to quit the game. Heck, no one even wanted you to quit the guild. Including the people who'd "expressed our dislike of certain courses of actions", which led to your leaving the guild.

No one expected you to put any money at all into the forums, teamspeak, domain name, etc, after you left the guild. We'd arranged for a new teamspeak server when we knew that we were going to need one, and I imagine we'll get a website going soon enough if we need to do that.

But it would be nice if you'd contact some of the people who are still in the guild, and would like to take over the website and domain name, so that we don't have to rebuild everything.

This sort of thing happens on every server... and its always caused by those small minded morons that have no lives and turn ddo into a soap opera which it is not meant to be... its meant to be a fun game, and for everyone who has beated down on awaken, grow up and get on with things, stop holding grudges like a pitbull with lockjaw!
Jeez, he comes in here to say goodbye and apologises and some morons STILL have to turn this thread into a battlefield... I dont think i have ever seen a thread with awaken NOT turn into a war zone because of a few pea brained idiots.... JUST LET IT GO FOR ***** SAKE

I know that i havent been a member of AUM that long, but ive been watching whats been going on and looked into it in our own forum to try and figure it out.
Awaken, i havent personally met u in game, but i would like to.

As an idea, make some toons on khyber and try playing for a while over there. PM me if u want, i have toons there already from aundair, and i'll come run with you, even drag my guildies over there along as well.

Just remember peeps, AUM isnt going anywhere... and this game is for FUN

17. Never Mind..... you will not get into the party....


According to a study conducted in 2006 by Michelle Willbanks, psychologist at the University of Indiana, 98 percent of mmorpg players who publicly threaten to cancel do not. The remaining 2 percent return within 3 months. An astonishing 97 percent of players that do cancel their membership, have never posted on the official forums.

I've searched for the "study in 2006 by Willbank's research team" and haven't found anything yet. I'll keep looking though. I'd genuinely like to know.

I am cautious however since 73.8% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I think this is just Dreamtheater's normal cycle. He plays for as long as he can until his behavior earns him a reputation he cannot stomach and then there is a big "rebirth" of Dreamtheater, where everything is gonna be all sunshine and super-friends.

His first transformation that I know of was when he "left" Dragonmark Knights to form a guild composed of entirely new players (hmm I wonder why no one that already knew him joined the guild.)

His behavior at the new guild was so odious that he was soon confronted with an ultimatum to step down or the entire guild would disband and reform without him.

He then rebirths as Awaken, and states that he's only going to be in his own guild with no other players allows. This lasts a week or so before he joins Praetorians, with once again, the goal to be the biggest guild on Argonessen (not the best mind you, but the biggest). (Side note - Allorious, my friend, I knew wisdom was your dump stat, but jeez!)

Last week, another rebirth - his Dreamtheater account is deleted, (lies) and he's quitting the game for good. This dramatic declaration is another charade and in just a few days he's back to his old ways on the server.

Now, I suspect, his new plan is to reroll with an anonymous character and try his best to conceal his identity. I have my suspicions about who this character is, but I trust Dream to reveal himself through his actions eventually. My advice would be to try this rebirth/reroll on a new server instead, he has certainly worn out his welcome here.

A couple of comments...

1. He did build AUM so I solicited his assistance
2. He did join for 1 day then left
3. I dont care about being the best, just fun. TF was fun once and as I recall was the best. But I have grouped with some newer TF players that would not fulfil that charter either.
4. I am, however, the best.

I have had disagreements with Dream before and after he left but that statement is simply untrue. When he left many of us asked him to reconsider and at the very least stay on as a guild member even if he wasn't up to being leader.

It isn't necessary to make things up that never happened...

ive known dream since he started in dmk back before headstart, he is a guy that dont take any **** from anyone. he left dmk to form his own guild because are guild leader at the time was not doing a very good job, some dmk members went with him taldok or whatever your name is this is the truth.

In less than a month he had more than 50 members in his guild with a nice web site and good leadership, dmk had many members that had access to his site and the guild members i talked with liked him alot, then tinted faces started there **** with him and thats what started all the chaos in his guild. he was not the kind of guy to keep his mouth shut the faces new this and keep the bull **** going knowing dream would not stay quite. so i will say all in tinted faces dont start spouting lies or spreading rumors know the facts or shut up.

I do know the facts, I played with dream everyday before he made AUM, I was a DMK member, and I still take his reasons as a personal insult. Recently, I tried to bury the hatchet and what did I recive for my efforts? A mouthfull of abuse.

So on second thought Dream, I wont miss you IF you decide to leave. Please make your mind up quickly cause ****, you change it more than Bos quits!

Made some corrections. Akla, you seem like a decent enough person but you really should direct your comments at the correct people and not everyone in the guild. You talk about lies, but you just slandered the entire guild. Isn't what you just did exactly what you accused the Faces of doing, I quote, "spouting lies or spreading rumors know the facts or shut up." Maybe you should take your own advice and just shut up.

Why ask for items back? Can you use them at work? Do you use your Vorpal longsword on your partner? If you cared about them so much why give them away in the first place?

If you cant handle human interaction on the web, good luck for when you decide to get out of your chair and join the real world.

Sigh.. I guess the latest "thing" for some of the faces to do is accost random aum members with tells letting them know how much better than aum tinted faces people are, and how much aum people suck.

Heh.. That's what my impression was when the gf told me about the tells she was getting today. After talking to her a bit more, they weren't saying that aum people suck. Just that the tinted faces and everyone in it were better than aum people.

At this point I'm more amused by the whole thing than anything else. Heck, she doesn't even notice what guild people are in most of the time. And she's definitely never gotten involved in any of the cross guild rivalry stuff.

I'm also hoping(at this point its more of a hope than an expectation) that no one on the aum side is helping keep this **** going. Most of them don't read the ddo forums, and have to get these things explained to them when they run into random acts of hostility and/or "roleplaying" or whatever it is that some of the people are doing to keep themselves amused.

But some of the ones that do read the forums are getting pretty tired hearing this stuff on a regular basis, and are no longer "tolerant" of the other people's foibles.

And the newly created guild "tinted faces are better than aum", or something along those lines, was definitely proof that some people have too much time on their hands. :rolleyes:

Well, I can certainly sympathize with the OP, that some situations in these types of games just make the entire game no longer fun to participate in. I have run into a few similar situations in the past myself, and leaving pretty much became the only option. Usually the situations are personal and not really a global issue though, and generally not an issue with the game itself.

Granted, I do not know the OP (at least I don’t think I do, as I don’t know what character(s) he plays. However, I don’t think I have a problem with him, and have probably played with him before, but my do-not-play-with list consists of about 2 people.

Anyways, I cannot argue that leaving is his only option, that is for him to decide. Of course options exist but even those options become limited depending on the player. You can always switch servers, or create a new character, or simply ignore those you have a problem with. All such solutions have caveats which make them not work so well at times. For me, making a new character doesn’t usually work as I make odd characters and my play style is not difficult to figure out if you pay attention. My means of chat will also give me away at times, so simply hiding isn’t always a viable solution when personal problem get mixed into the situation.

Under most situations, problems are avoidable or can be left behind, leaving one able to continue playing with little problem, however some players just make it a point to try to destroy the fun of playing for others and in some cases they specifically pick out players to do this to, which it sound like has happened to the OP. The only times I found it necessary to leave a game was basically due to personal issues (bordering harassment), from certain male types who play and determine that I have somehow become their girlfriend and they wouldn’t leave me alone and spend a lot of time trying to track me down when I tried to go away and play new characters. Some players are just hell bent on driving others nuts. There’s no escaping those kinds of players once they get started other than to leave the game. Sometimes harassment can be claimed and you can get them removed but that usually causes other problems of other people having it out for you for causing a friend to be banned, even though they never understood or believed the situation that was happening. The simplest solution to cause the least problems is to leave.

I am sorry for the OP finding himself in such a situation in a game, especially a game he enjoyed, but it happens. Hopefully he will find something more suitable and fun again.

Heh.. That's what my impression was when the gf told me about the tells she was getting today. After talking to her a bit more, they weren't saying that aum people suck. Just that the tinted faces and everyone in it were better than aum people.

At this point I'm more amused by the whole thing than anything else. Heck, she doesn't even notice what guild people are in most of the time. And she's definitely never gotten involved in any of the cross guild rivalry stuff.

I'm also hoping(at this point its more of a hope than an expectation) that no one on the aum side is helping keep this **** going. Most of them don't read the ddo forums, and have to get these things explained to them when they run into random acts of hostility and/or "roleplaying" or whatever it is that some of the people are doing to keep themselves amused.

But some of the ones that do read the forums are getting pretty tired hearing this stuff on a regular basis, and are no longer "tolerant" of the other people's foibles.

And the newly created guild "tinted faces are better than aum", or something along those lines, was definitely proof that some people have too much time on their hands. :rolleyes:

*raises hand* Tired of dealing with it, so I don't anymore

Someone is...they had a guild name up in gianthold last night saying something of that sort -- how Tinted Faces are better than AUM.

Thats a guy not at all affiliated with Tinted Faces. Think the guild name was "Tinted Faces Rule AUM doesn't" or something to that effect.

Now that's an interesting little factoid.

I didn't actually believe it was a Tinted Face, but rather a pot stirrer. TF jokes are usually a little more creative.

Oh, and Asp, the new sig looks good on ya! :D

Cool new sig bro.

Saw the newly created guild last night, and there was another lvl3 in a guild called " The Tinted Faces ". I asked if it was a splinter of TF, and got no reply. Thought maybe you guys could use a heads-up, in case someone is attempting to throw a little mischief your way.

being "booted" in TF is generally just a way of hasstling eachother, the above said wouldn't actually be kicked from the guild.
