Da Hui
I read something in a post earlier,on our boards that hit a cord with me. The Da Hui i joined back when is no more. I'm not exactly sure what and when it changed the way it has.
Don't wanna make this a flame.Not blaming anyone but myself.
Gonna start removing my toons as i play em.Best wishes to all and apologies to anyone I have offended.
Jarce... shoot me a /tell next time your on. Just dont get mad if i miss it if its after like 6pm CST, lots of raid spam / and the colors of tells and my weapon proc dmg are the same so i might miss it
Re: Da Hui
Without specific items being brought up, there is little chance of them being resolved.
This is not a slam, but I am suprised that instead of starting atleast a discussion of what you have concerns about, you choose instead to remove your toons from DH.
I agree with you that the guild has changed from what it was. If I knew what to do to fix it, I would. As I do not have the answer, I do what I can, when I can, and wait for this messed up period to end, and a better one to start.
Regardless of how it turns out, I wish you the best.

Re: Da Hui
I have said something and was basically told to get over it.Screw that.
Just an example,We had an officer and a new recruit have a diff of opinion and in the end the new recruit was detagged.Because one of the peeps involved had the power to do so. A regular longtime member has a diff with a new recruit and the longtime member is told to live with it.
Is that right? Hell no its not. I don't want anyone detagged just told to control themselves.
Granted i am not an original member or wasn't around for the Kap days but i have been around for awhile and thought i had some respect,But i guess i was wrong.New members get more respect over a long time member?
It has gotten to the point that i have to be on the offensive and thats just not fun anymore.
If anyone needs me in any of my many forms lemme know,wil do my best to help or whatever i can.And again i am sorry for sounding petty,But i don't feel i am wrong.This was a family guild when i joined now its seems to be goin a whole diff direction now.
Be safe

Re: Da Hui
I remember what it was like when I first joined Da Hui.
I had 3 characters in the 20's at the time; Sleeka didn't even exist yet. I was playing my chanter in LoIO (that was the place to go, in those days), and got invited into a pickup group by a barbarian named Pono (who I later came to know as an alt of the guild leader, Kapena). I had just done the quest for my AoE mez spell, and remember having a lot of fun mezzing these big trains of goblins Kap kept bringing back from the houses. At the end of the night, Kap invited me to join the guild, but warned me that most were higher level than me, and played in the pacific time zone. I said I'd try it out, for a while. Well, I found it to be true that most were higher level than me (I think the big guys were in the 40's, in those days), and I ended up continuing to solo a lot. I decided to create my first melee character, Sleeka. She was a lot of fun at the low levels. I wanted to get in on all the stuff I was hearing about in guild chat, so I decided to get her up to the level where I could group with everyone else. Then came the days of grinding in D*, then Overthere, then Dreadlands. I remember proudly posting each ding on the boards, sometimes adding 'Watch out, Kap - I'm catching up to ya' (heh, like THAT would ever happen). And finally, the day came where I could actually group with the other mains. I remember the first 'raid' I went on - the dreaded Tower of Frozen Shadow. We made it all the way up to the FOURTH FLOOR! Go us! At the end, we all posed for a picture, which Ouze posted on the boards the next day. There I was, with all the big guys in the picture - I was proud; I think we all were. Then came some pretty good times. Even when we weren't raiding (at least we considered them to be raids), there was often a group of us doing something. The main problem was finding a way to get to the group (since there were no books in those days). I remember when Daelite left the guild. It seemed like a disaster, at the time. Someone leaving? On purpose? It felt like a family member had died, or something.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I think the main thing that's different now is my attitude. I'm just not infatuated like I used to be. There's moments. I do think that more organized events would help to bring us together, but I'm not expecting to recapture the thrill of the early days.
