An apology from Europa to Taken regarding Ragefire
 

Dear Taken,

This wednesday, both our guilds were racing to Ragefire. You were first in force in the lair area, clearing fire giants, when ambition got the better of one of our clerics. He ran past your raid, who was still busy clearing the last giants, and turned in his pearl to trigger Ragefire. Most of our raid force was arriving a bit later and did not really understand the situation when they engaged the triggered human RF.

After the trigger, despite the situation, Taken backed off, and gave Europa time to buff up and engage the dragon form. It was not until after Europa wiped due to lack of DPS that you engaged and killed Ragefire. Kudos for this calm and de-escalating reaction.

We have discussed this incident among the Europa officer council. Our conclusion is that regardless of server rules, this was clearly leapfrogging and a douchebag move by our raid force. We are sorry this happened and would like to ask you to accept our apologies.

In this particular situation, the cleric rushed us into a situation before we had a chance to fully understand what was going on. For his egoistic agenda, he abused the helpfulness of his online guild members that responded to his call. I would therefore kindly ask you not to hold any grudges against the remaining Europa force that was there at the time.

Our officer council decided on this public apology and a guild warning against the offending player. Before we could issue such a warning, when confronted about this issue, the cleric in question ragequit Europa. In that conversation, he confirmed that he was fully aware what he was doing at the time and that he would "NEVER" apologize to Taken. As a conclusion, we are glad to be rid of him.

Kind regards

on behalf of Europa: Sherrypie / Slozem

did the cleric in europa lose her pearl too? damn rough way to go out

Thank you for stepping up to discuss this in an open forum. We have always held Europa in high regard and were surprised when we saw the leap frogging and pearl hand in to Ragefire. We hold no grudges and graciously accept your explanation and apology. You continue to be a great guild of EQ players on P1999 and we are always happy to help and group with your members.

Sounds like a mature response by both parties to what could have been a very ugly situation.

Kudos. The server obviously needs a lot more of this.

Thank you Europa. This is very much appreciated, we would never hold a guild responsible for the actions of one individual. You have a valued and well-deserved reputation on this server. Much respect to you all.

By very ugly do you mean multiple keyboards and mice broken, multiple rage quits, training, bans, and multiple forum posts?

Meh very ugly is a matter of perspective.

But bravo for being good sportsman on both accounts.
