Wow.. Nice to see you Ballak .. Amazed to see that CSR was invovled in something with pvp .. and looks like Consequence was there.. Not sure what that was about O.o?

Oh that?

That was just some silliness. I think we had found some Zionites/EPN farming some of the content involving one of the patches on release and with the AoE flagging rules it eventually became an all out brawl. They complained to a CSR and that CSR told us to deflag because we were harassing them. I have a feeling that occurrence would not have even gotten to the CSRs if they had won our PvP engagements, but then again maybe we were not entirely liked by some of the people on Syntax.

I thought the drama was silly at the time, because in most games red = dead and if there is a cheesy way to turn someone's flag on it's on the developer's end not the players'.

However, believe it or not, the community was so small I don't think anyone in Sentience or myself really and truly disliked anyone. There were some annoying folks, but since my time in MxO I have met people far worse in online communities. A lot of the CSR decisions we had to deal with were certainly questionable like in my screenshot and Brewko's FM-1500 fiasco, but that's just SOE at work.

And for some weird reason, I liked MxO's atmosphere because it was so small. At the time, if you were a regular, you were pretty much known by all the other regulars on the server. There was never really any major competition between factions that I saw, concerning member counts and the like, y'know? Sentience by itself was fairly small but still effective, and again, MxO excelled there in its own way. In my time in WoW as a guild leader, it is completely different as people will get into fights with you over the most childish and most belligerent of reasons. Probably explains why I stuck with MxO for much longer in the same period.
