The following was a conversation on IRC last night between folks who have played on SoD(W I N T E R ' S R O A R) since the beginning(over 2 years). This conversation was in response to our guild leader being banned from the server for pointing out an administrator's mistake.
[22:11] <Person1> legacy is the antichrist
[22:11] <Person2> Legacy = raiding w/ exploits
[22:11] <Person4> using GM commands?
[22:11] <Person1> legacy = gms and asshole egos
[22:11] <Person2> We however question possible exploits and avoid doing them.
[22:12] <Person1> Legacy NEVER get scrutized
[22:12] <Person1> scrutinized even
[22:12] <Person4> does wiz simply not care about his own GMs shitting up his server or something?
[22:13] <Person1> most of them are guilty of EVERYTHING wiz claims lokdar did to get banned 10x over
[22:13] <Person3> he didn't hire them
[22:13] <Person1> melwin is
[22:13] <Person1> zhak is
[22:13] <Person2> Zhak all the way
[22:13] <Person1> darkyth is wherever the fuck he is now
[22:14] <Person1> half their characters were geared on us while they were in ruin
[22:14] <Person3> i lasted one week as a GM, until i saw what everyone was doing and saying and getting away with
[22:14] <Person2> Just pathetic to cheat to win on a supposedly legit server
[22:14] <Person4> what the hell? how hard is it to implement a GM command log?
[22:14] <Person3> they have one
[22:14] <Person4> so wiz just doesn't really care about it?
[22:15] <Person3> apparently not
[22:15] <Person1> wiz and melwin STARTED the server for the most part
[22:15] <Person1> Melwin is THE CORE of the servers problems. Always was always will be
[22:16] <Person1> We ultimatumed him a year ago to get rid of him but he is still here
[22:16] <Person1> when our original raid core quit in protest for their shit
[22:16] <Person2> The whole alibi of 'finding' exploits just shouldn't fly
[22:16] <Person1> thats what melwin does best
[22:16] <Person1> thats how he got his job
[22:16] <Person1> btw
[22:17] <Person1> iydk
[22:18] <Person5> iydk?
[22:18] <Person4> christ, i thought the sod leadership was actually competent
[22:18] <Person1> if you didnt know
[22:18] <Person2> in case you dind't know
[22:18] <Person2> eh close enough =P
[22:19] <Person1> the couple months we ran melwin off and legacy and nightfall/PR were defenct were the best times this server ever saw
[22:19] <Person2> Part of the reason I never cared for the GM invite position extended
[22:19] <Person2> doing petitions or not.
[22:19] <Person1> And you could never ASK to be a gm
[22:20] <Person1> I could do petitions and help people
[22:20] <Person1> all fucking day long
[22:20] <Person2> laff
[22:20] <Person1> but it seems just about everyone he picked to be a gm was a complete tool or another one of melwins assholes
[22:20] <Person3> hey, now..
[22:21] <Person9> Except Person3.
[22:21] <Person1> and mot of them left ruin, the few that were picked, and either went nuetral or joined legacy
[22:21] <Person3> i got accused of being too loyal to ruin as a GM
[22:21] <Person4> haahahaha
[22:22] <Person4> as opposed to a guild being fucking run by a server administrator?
[22:22] <Person3> yeah, really
[22:22] <Person5> Person3, are you quitting too?
[22:22] <Person7> they don't care
[22:22] <Person3> i already practically have
[22:22] <Person7> about the command log
[22:22] <Person1> Should have been here for Guardians of the Winter
[22:22] <Person1> melwins original guild
[22:23] <Person1> They had like 12+ gms, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
[22:23] <Person1> even wiz
[22:23] <Person1> Yes, wiz
[22:23] <Person7> i tought wiz alot about how to code too.
[22:24] <Person4> sounds kinda like the entire server is just a big GM circle jerk
[22:24] <Person2> aeonrising sounds promising 8)
[22:24] <Person3> oh yes, definitely, Person2
[22:24] <Person7> =)
[22:24] <Person4> aeonrising?
[22:25] <Person9> —› topic: (WE CIRCLE JERK ALL DAY LONG!)
[22:26] <Person2> http://www.aeonrising.com/

[22:26] <Person9> but raherin's cool 8)
[22:26] <Person2> Person7, Person3, and others' game
[22:27] <Person2> DT is a sunken ship that never will leave it's port.
[22:28] <Person9> mm I'll brb
[22:28] <Person9> going out to my friend's house
[22:28] <Person9> See you all later!
[22:28] <Person3> later
[22:28] <Person1> there be pirates and its booty is taken right now thorough
[22:35] <Person11> i wonder if this will be a good excuse for me not doing the work i was supposed to do tonight :-/
[22:57] <Person6> i see they finally made steam not retarded =D
[22:58] <Person7> steam won't run on my system anymore
[22:58] <Person7> =p
[22:59] <Person6> lol
[23:00] <Person6> also it seems to go much faster with updates 291k/s =D
[23:08] <Person2> I dunno if Traul was and if the only spy.
[23:09] <Person7> is ruin continuing?
[23:10] <Person2> The officers are being replaced at least.
[23:10] <Person1> undetermined
[23:14] <Person2> amazing the 1343+ hits that thread has gotten w/in hrs
[23:14] <Person1> wiz didnt even let us finish it
[23:15] <Person1> he had to have the last word
[23:15] <Person1> probably told that unimportant quest monkey to close it so he didnt appear to be an asshole
[23:15] <Person2> I really don't understand why he couldn't just toss us some loot...
[23:16] <Person1> he's a prick
[23:16] <Person1> Thats why
[23:16] <Person2> eh
[23:17] <Person1> he could have said "sorry man" my mistake but he had to roll with breakers over enthusiasm
[23:17] <Person1> had to let his ego and attitude get involved.
[23:17] <Person1> he already knew how breaker reacts and how he would react. it was no surprise to him
[23:18] <Person1> He likes to play god.
[23:18] <Person2> true...
[23:18] <Person1> This is his maze and we are his guine (sp) pigs
[23:19] <Person2> awww I miss my childhood pet
[23:19] <Person1> he is the kind of person who likes to drop rocks ina ocean and see the waves they make
[23:19] <Person1> or pull the legs off a grasshopper and drop it in an ant hill
[23:19] <Person2> ha
[23:20] <Person1> After all "he doesn't owe us poppysocks"
I will probably get banned just for posting this. I've spent hundreds of hours on this server leveling 8 alts up to 45-65, but I'm risking all of that right here and now simply because I'm one step away from quitting this server out of shear disgust. The shameless corruption, lying, indifference, and contempt from Melwin's little club is intolerable. Wiz' infallible ability to look the other way is heartbreaking. Wiz, Zodium and the Legacy bots will probably label the above as unsubstantiated lies...or simply delete this post all together. That's fine.
Why am I posting this? It's simply the vain hope that someone capable of fixing these problems will look themselves in the mirror and make a decision to be honest with us.
