Once the merger is complete...

[Rameses]

I am, Rameses! A known local in Argonnessen and here on the forums; I am opinionated and I like to complete quests as efficiently as possible. Some will tell you I am a **** fine player others will tell you I am an ass... because I will tell you how it is... no fluff.

However, there is a trend that is growing on thelanis that is somewhat disturbing and I would hope to not see it here on Agrobar (ie: LFM: xoriat players only.)

I hope that this will not be the case once our servers have united. I look forward to meeting many new citizens of Agrobar.

I am, Rameses!

[Kistilan]

I wouldn't worry about it...

They're the same stuff as us. This should be the smoothest integration of two groups of peoples in the history of mankind, let alone DDO.

I'm very happy that we took on the Plane of Endless Night as our merger-server ally. Without Darkness, there cannot be Light. Without Dragons, there cannot be Heroes.

[Magnus_Arcanis]

I serousily doubt this will happen and I would be severly disappointed if it does.

Really, I can't understand why Thelanis and Xoriat hate each other so, it.. it just doesn't make sense to me. I thought they were all kidding at first (granted I didn't follow the proceedings closely), but man...

I definately don't forsee us having any problems unless someone actually tries to enforce that tariff thing I saw once (didn't really read through much of it). Even that I don't see turning into the monster that has plagued Thelanis right now.

I won't get to see you guys until friday, but have fun.

ROFL

I don't think you've paid yet, have you?

Of course I have.

*rolls bluff check: 16

Oh wait, you don't even HAVE a sense motive skill.

Win.

I hope I do not get in big trouble for telling this story...

I RP on Thelanis. I like it, it is a relaxed anything goes kinda place. ((i.e. unconventional groups/ builds/ play style/ slower pace.. it's all ok))

Someone said in another thread that "merging Thelanis and Xoriat will be like merging the Lion Exhibit with the housecat exhibit."

You know what? They were right! I saw it first hand.

((I was operating under a name I do not generally publicize, so I know it wasn't "that" sort of harassment.))
I was in a quest and had an LFM up "quest in progress feel free to join" .... I get a tell from ((well call him "Player X")). The tell was one word, the name of a body part followed by a question mark.

I was confused, so I replied, "Excuse me?"

Player X repeats the tell.

I did not respond, I cut and pasted the exchange in party chat because my party members did not believe this happened. One of them responded to "Player X" asking him to stop.

Player X responds to that person and questions his orientaion and references role playing...

I reported it, squelched the player, and took a screenshot. ((send me a message if you want to see it))

Still, it screwed up my gaming day. Why should I have to put up with that? The last time I checked, no one pays my dues but me! It is NO ONES place to tell me how to play/ what to play/ who to play with. I am sick of it, and it just got started!

I spoke with SEVERAL others who told similar stories of generalized animosity.
I was really really tempted to post in the general area, and promise those very same "haters" that I will outlast them, and be here cheering when they are leaving to chase the next shiny.
I have more patience.

Thanks for letting me vent a little! (even though, I really did not ask)
cheers

Knowing the core reason and why it spawns such blatent hatred is what really confuses me. Big deal, the guy doesn't like to roleplay. He in NO WAY had the right to lash out like he did (I've seen the pic). The absolute worse thing that could come out of a non-roleplayer in a roleplaying group (or vice versa) is that person leaves the group after maybe, maybe a quick conversation.

If this isn't an isolated incident, then there will be many harrassment tickets filed with many bannings that follow them.

Ugh, just... I don't get it. A person plays a different way than you do, but why does that person care/get so angry about it. I guess it was one of those "the way he grew up" or "tramatizing experienced" caused mental disorders (this is not a dig at the individual, but merely a shot in the dark as to what spurrs this kind of attitude) that cause people to lash out at one another for the shear fact that other people are no exactly like himself.

I dunno, after seeing this atrosity I stand by and confirm my belief that the argo-mabar merger will never be that bad... ever.

[DaveyCrockett]

That issue won't happen an this server, I am positive of that.

As for the children of the damned on that other server, I think Madmardigan and myself should roll up a character or two over there and have a little fun. They think they know hate now? LOL..

Anyway, we are what we are, and they are what noone should want to be.
Our merge will be a great thing, and I can't wait to get moved into my new place so I can return to the game (hopefully in the next few days).

I still think we should call it Argonessenamabar.

Argobar is just... well it doesn't have the same ring to it.

Oh, and Hi to all the Mabarians! Hope to meet you soon.

Dariuss, I'll bring over that cask left over from the chaos at the Muskateers. See you on Mabargonnessen!

It's a date!

I know this nice little out of the way drinking spot in the Waterworks. Smells of mocats, but otherwise it's all good.

I am Yaga Nub! I am a relatively unknown slacker on Mabar and I will be the first to say F OFF any and all from Argo!

I will always *****, about EVERYTHING.

I will purposely pull LARGE amounts of aggro and laugh as I cast LARGER amounts of heighted, extended grease during the fight.

I will do drunk, naked runs even if the rest of the party isn't.

I will cast spells on you if you request but be forwarned that they might not be what you wanted. If you are about to run into the black dragon room you might want to be SURE that I actually hit you will acid resist instead of sonic or cold.

I never draw agro because I don't like to fight, I'm in the quest to get loot not fight and if you need me to actually help you kill everything then I expect your share of the loot as well.

If you are a particularily poor player then I will suggest that you group with a few characters from Mabar such as Tavok, Lego, Futzlung and Sabo. I like to keep the short bus people in one group.

............ and you can't believe everything you read (except the last part, those guys really do ride the DDO short bus). I'm looking forward to grouping with everyone from Argo and maybe even adding some of you to the Ordos Draconum ranks. While I hate that Turbine needs to merge the servers, I am glad that Argo and Mabar were picked to be merged together. I look forward to meeting a lot of the people that I've argued with or that I have in some other way disparaged because then you'll see that it's not personal, I'm just an ass.

Look forward to seeing you all later today or tomorrow and cross your fingers for luck.

You had me at hello...

I am, Rameses!

[ArkoHighStar]

You had me at hello...

I am, Rameses!

I think ramses has found a soulmate

[Allorious]

I think ramses has found a soulmate

Rameses only soulmate could be Satan

[Yaga_Nub]

Rameses only soulmate could be Satan

I have been told that Satan could learn a few things from me so maybe I am Rameses soul mate. Man, those are two midnight black souls......may the gods protect Argobar!

[Krazed]

You had me at hello...

I am, Rameses!

But he never said hello.....
