it's nothing personal, it's how things work. You don't do your job properly, you get told off and asked to leave. Simple as. I'm not saying he's a dick, he's just not the right man for the job.

Sorry but you blame the company not the spokesperson. The golden rule of CSR is you can say what you want about the company but anything personal is just bad manners. You blame him personally for a companies position without knowing him at all.

Requiel decided to suspend them because in this instance Albion lost a relic, the realm he himself played. Whenever it happened to any other realm previously it was fine, people had even queried it over rightnow and were told they were free to do whatever they like to their own keep level. I think that was the reason so many people were pissed off over it. He tried to run the community, not assist it. Then ofc there was the constant promises of "working on something" with hints of clustering with other EU server which he maintained for nearly a year until he jumped ship to warhammer. He basically had no idea at all about RvR in daoc having only got a couple of 100 thousand RP on his main (a paladin)

He was out of his depth, through no fault of his own but he helped me out on more than one occasion when we had an issue on a master level raid, was always polite and helpful when spoken to in-game. It was kind of funny the first few times he spawned high level mobs on people for no other reason except his mates were getting spanked hard by the soloers.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter any more does it?

Actually noone else was doing it at the time - there might have been guilds that would claim keeps/towers and drop them to level 1 (IIRC it was just people releasing the keep - which is an entirely different matter) but noone had done it with a relic inside the keep before then.

It all started with a cookie you know.

IIRC people had done it before, but I am not completely sure. What I do know for a fact though is that people actually brought back the relic to the other realm by dropping it for them to pick up. This happened more than once on both EU and US servers. This 'offense' to me seems much greater as we at least kept it protected (albeit by a lvl 1 keep), while they just returned it to their 'owners'.

Good luck for the future, you were a good GM. I can remember a time at Erinys Charm artifact when you came to us and sorted it out when we couldn't get it to work properly. In fact you made it "work" a few times for us that evening

but, and there is no getting away from this fact...

Whether it was Req, or other people at GOA, the decisions over the TT incident effectively killed the server, or at least seriously shortened its lifespan, and it could and should have been handled differently on all sides. My opinion btw, TT did nothing wrong. Sure what they did wasn't in the spirit of the game, but neither was taking relics in the middle of the night either but I didn't see anyone getting suspended for that.

Best of luck
Hopefully you find a fun job better suited to your talents

[Urme the Legend]

Best of luck Ian! You've been doing some great work for both DAoC and WAR.

P.S Hopefully you have already found some other job, maybe apply to Darkfall Online crew.. looks like they need help
