Subject: Answers to Questions on Loot Rights


To answer some questions:
<snip>I'm a little confused by a couple things. Were all people in both
groups in your guild? [Yes everyone in both groups is technically in our
guild] And 2 of the people (including the tag-along
Enchanter) were being played by your guild leader? [ The guild leader is the
Queen and her husband the king were both playing 2 characters each. She was
playing the second L44 enchanter and her shaman and the king was playing his
warrior and a cleric] "Walk on the
guild" means leaving the guild? [Yes I mean leave the guild. Our guild is
based on the chivalric values and while this was hopefully only a momentary
lapse of clear reasoning, I wanted them to see just how seriously we
considered this issue.]

As to rules, we have loot rules to this effect that the king wrote that
primaries get first cut. We discussed this at the time with several
guildmates and some were kinda divided over the rightness of it. I guess the
mudding factor was the chanter was actually there. We're a fairly small
guild nowadays and this is the first disagreement over loot we've had. I
really think it wasn't greed as much as it was them having been too insular.
The king has an odd work schedule (doctor) and so they have never been
involved in Planes raids or high level dungeon raids with anyone else. We
tend to hang with other guilds like Venator Sapentia as we have several dual
guilded or ex'excal friends in VS and so we get out more you might say.

As to multiples, we currently own 4 accounts: we've had friends quit with
decent level characters and so we took over the account in one case and
added the third just prior to that for bankspace mostly. We have a 3rd pc in
our office in easy reach of either of us so we do play up to 3 lower level
characters at once usually wizard, necro, and a healer. We play with our
friends alternates who are similiar level and there's never any issue over
loot. We have a third generation of characters started and nearing their
20's now as well. It proves we're addicted of course but it's given us a
chance to try out alot more character types; we've probably got one of
everything at this point. I do think there are classes and places where
playing 3 characters is not a good option. A couple of our friends have
gotten second accounts from friends or family members as well so now we have
an address book of account names and passwords so we can move people and
items at will. Imagine the surprise of our 40s ranger friend when he logs
back on Saturday to find he's wielding Yaks.

Thanks for your comments everyone, I wanted a reality check from some 3rd
parties and I appreciate the input.

Halana: we've had the flu, and a 24 hr stomach bug both recently. Got to
love the daycare syndrome, we get every bug known to man. Fortunately my
daughter rarely gets sick herself.
