I logged in as Radryn and realized that Hidden mode was turned on for him. I used /hide to escape from the spammers during solo play. I’ll have to check the rest of my character accounts and make sure they’re not hidden as well.

Sorry to have missed you on the 27th. My IM client seems to be disconnecting a lot from Yahoo’s service without my knowledge.

I didn’t see any online messages about you logging in so I guess I might have logged out before you logged in.

True, I really should expect the worst from the general casual player population on the servers.

I was invited to a guild called “Freakin’ Awesome Guys” (yeah, the acronym is FAGS). I’ve seen them around on Bretonnia regularly, they’re pretty effective, but I’m not sure I want to stick with them. They do organize raids, have a schedule and use Ventrillo, so they’re more organized than other guilds that have shot me invitations.

I’ll try installing Ventrillo and going on a few raids with them, see what they’re like “in person.”

you cant expect much out of a pick up group(pug) i am sure the destro side has the same problems, but i think they win more because of the classes we end up facing (more healers, and more tanks) we really need to get in with a group of people or a guild to be able to be a more co-ordinated team. As for incentives for server balance they do have things in place (heard them discuss it on a podcast) they have xp bonuses they will give to people who join a underpopulated side, they also talk about server caps being side restricted (ie a server can hold 1000 players, order gets 500 and destro gets 500, therefore if destro is maxed it gets queues and if order is low they can get on without the wait) its also kind of good because in theory we wont have to wait long for rvr scenarios to go since there should be alot of destro people waiting to play. man i cant wait to play tommorow!
