the luck of the wary.
So, with PSN giving me the big screw you.
I started playing DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) for free.
Very fun and I think I said it before, one of the best games in relation to the way the rules work, the voice overs and the puzzles,monsters and world. They are getting better every update and its great.
I dont join guilds right away in most games because I hate politics and craziness. And yes... I feel I am a better geek than some players, lol and dont want to be in a group with people who are shouting stats and reading manuals to me about the benefits of taking an intelligence bonus over an intelligence boosting item....
So the second night im playing i join a two man group with a rogue. My Wizard does insane damage is is a utility mage to get through spots and fill in roles when we are missing people. The guy is telling me about how cool his guild is.
Really, every five seconds, "we are so chill" "we dont do drama" "we have so much fun and are a real cool group"
OK, he convinces me and I want to see what the new guild mechanics are. I have always been in "guilds" that are very non traditional and so I have missed out on lots of cliches and MMORPG standards. So why not give it a shot.
So I join, the next day I log in, Day 4 3 of playing, I get a bunch of cool greetings and welcomes on the guild chat. I talk back, swap some jokes and feel at home. I team up with a player. She tells me she is on thin ice with the guild leader. I ask why, at this point, 5 people are kicked from the guild in the guild chat box... Odd, I think.. She says its two of the guild leaders secondary accounts he was just making room. No biggie. Well then she tells me why she is on thin ice..
Apparently she just broke up with the guild leader and he was not taking it well... Then He makes her the guild leader, and leaves the guild...
A message goes out right before and 20 plus people leave in mass exodus...
So, im in a private group with this girl. a Paladin and I wanted her bonuses to do some quests. And she pretty much looses it about this.
She makes me an officer and tells me and another guy she needs help running the guild. Then she tells me her life story.. Why in the hell do people feel the need to do this to me. I am not Oprah/Montel Williams. Then she says she is gonna rest for a bit after we do some quests. To other guys from the guild join us. Then one sees what happened and quickly leaves the group then the guild. The old leader has a new guild called Elite Smokers (classy) and he joins that one...
So eventually this other guy and myself are newly made officers. I sign off to get something to eat ready. I come back and lo and behold. the girl Shay, makes me leader, changes the message of the day to "I cant take this and I am if you want to join the other guild heres the name. Bye" she then quits. So now I am the Guild Leader for a medium sized 25+ members, guild in DDO.
