Ahh the drama… (that I missed)
I was on this a couple of hours before Foton, my spider sense was weakly tingling so I decided to investigate some more. Unfortunately I discovered just what everyone already knew. I spent some time asking question to their guildmaster but only to discover how idiot he is, so I decided that there wasn’t anything interesting behind to write about. I guess I should have searched the right name on google…
Not “Displaced”, the name of the guild after the transfer to Eldre’Thalas, but “Crusaders of Apathy”, as they were known before the move, on Uther.
I find asolutely hilarious how Lum is able to attract and produce drama no matter how carefully he tries to avoid it. The more he pays attention, the more he drowns in it (and goes “mad”). Come on, this time Lum’s wife happens to be in the guild, Lum offers them a subdomain to host a board and the result is a marvellous drama masterpiece filled with nostalgic remembrances. Bwhahahaha!
Now. Maybe this time he really has no responsibility. But when a year and half ago Mythic introduced spellcrafting along with the unintended possibility to enchant the cloaks (quote: “My wife has, since the introduction of spellcrafting in DAOC, been crafting cloaks non-stop. THE CLOAK FACTORY IS IN MY LIVING ROOM.”), I believe Lum had some influence when it was time to decide if those cloak should have been reverted or not.
How could have anyone have guessed that? Lum is just a puppet in the hands of his wife ;)
(btw, I really doubt that Lum has good contacts at Blizzard. Last I heard, October of the last year if I remember correctly, he had to beg to a Blizzard guy during a conference in order to get a beta account for the game.)
