I been on EQ2 for about 2yrs now and love it. Its gets better as it grows (for me anyhow). I had my share of bad guilds and some great ones. But i think its safe to say EQ2 (as far as raids) is all about the guild.....(right)? I was in a guild were all of the peeps where great at what they do and knew there shit as far as mobs/strats and so on. Anyhow its come down to 2 guild in the sever to have all contested on locked but for some reson we could never get the raid on contested so we would lose some (most) to the next guild. So everyone would be like good game there will be another time. But not I wanted it all i guess u can call me greedy or w/e. i wanted them all and on lock down so i moved on i didn't say much to my old guild but that i was goin to move on ( they may or may not know who i am).

Im not goin to get much more in to this cause i don't want to start any beef with them or my new guild. But would like to know if I did the right as far as move on or should have i sucked it up and play and it as it goes. this is were u guys (EQ2ers) in come. I know how hard u guys can be on someone so be eazy on I'm still new to this shit. Just want to know was/is i wrong?

P.S if i posted this thread in the wrond place sorry. Don't kill the neeb!!!

Moving on for better is part of the game and it happens. Just try not to lie next time you do it. Be a man and say hey i want to have everything on lockdown and you guys just arent cutting it. Dont say Hey my sister is ill and i dont have the time to play anymore.

I would NEVER have left them for lame ass reasoning such as yours, but different things are important to different people.

I spose if you don't give two dick shakes for your guildmates then no love lost. If you actually cared about your guild and you bailed when they needed you to stick around then yeah, you suck.

actually this is what makes good guilds not how many sick hours you can log on... also called Growing up

No, do whatever the fuck makes the game enjoyable for you. There are some small family guilds that really do enjoy each other's company so much that it defines the game for them, but mostly they know each other in real life or have had very significant contact in game.

Even with "family guilds", you'll notice people start moving up to raid guilds or switching over to be with other friends as soon as that option becomes more fun. When you think about it the "guild" construct is sort of a stupid formalism, if you're friends with people in EQ2 there's nothing stopping you from having the same kind of contact as before.

My least favorable experiences in MMOs have always been sticking with a guild I didn't really want to be in just out of a sense of commitment. Homie don't play that anymore :P

What he said...

OK, who here is missing a raider who didn't have the balls to tell you that your guild sucks?

My guild doesn't do a damn thing and neither do I!

If you have to move on, you have to move on - but as others said, do it honestly... and tactfully.

When you dish out the excuses, people see through it anyway - as guild leaders and officers, raid leaders, etc. we've heard all the excuses before.

You can be direct and still be tactful about it. "You guys are great & I've enjoyed my time with you, but I need more out of the game" works much better than an excuse that they see through, or people find out later was bogus.

Most people will get over things in time - especially if you make a point to be considerate.

There's a huge difference, IMO, between being flip about something and not giving a shit vs. setting goals for yourself and reaching them.

In some cases, btw, it's better for *both* sides if you move on. I have one friend that, when he's guilded & raiding with us I can feel the impatience coming off him in waves.

He wants a heavier raid schedule, contesteds and to be at the head of the pack, while we want the lighter schedule and to get there at a more relaxed pace. That vibe off of him gets me all wound up & makes me edgy and impatient myself.

I treasure his friendship and I miss him dearly when he's not around - but while I'd love to see him wearing our tags and at home in them, it is far better for him to be raiding somewhere that he's getting what he wants, than with us and dissatisfied.

So all that said, if "true" friendship is supposed to be at the core of things here - treat them like you would true friends: be honest, kind, and considerate when you have bad news to tell. Then give them time to get over it. After that point, things will work themselves out if they're meant to & what tags you have over your head should not matter.

100% Agree.
You pay your own account every month, so who should dictate to you what type of guild you play in? Remember. It's a game, and you supposedly do it for fun. I think. Do what makes you happy.
