A Word About TMO and the Project 1999 Community
 

The Mystical Order

Recently the guild formerly known as The Mystical Order disbanded. We are saddened by their loss, as the guild as a whole donated their time, resources, and manpower to help this server be the classic experience that it is today. Their contribution to this server is immeasurable, and they will be missed.

That being said, their raid suspension still stands. Any former TMO members raiding are subject to disciplinary action. Circumventing a raid suspension by deguilding or joining a new guild is not something that is going to work. While we understand these members' frustration over not being allowed to raid over the holidays, the suspension stands and you risk your account if you do not adhere to it. This suspension includes all raid targets, entering Veeshan's Peak, Hate Plane, Fear Plane, and Ragefire. The suspension did not include Plane of Sky, and former members of TMO may go up to Plane of Sky with their respective guilds.

The Project 1999 Community

I'd like to take a moment to address the community at large. The Mystical Order as a whole was not involved in the use of this exploit, it was a select few members of the guild. The vast majority of banned accounts were not necessarily used or involved in the exploit. We have no reason to believe these actions were condoned by the guild as a whole.

This information was already revealed in the announcement made on 12/18/2013. However, it seems a large portion of the community has taken this opportunity to send hate tells, spam the forums, and harass members of The Mystical Order any way they can. While the staff will not police "talking trash" in Rants and Flames, we do not condone this behavior in the rest of the forums or in game. Unwarranted or unprovoked harassment towards anyone on Project 1999 is not only frowned upon by the staff, but should be frowned upon by the community as a whole. The /ignore feature is not an excuse to be malicious. Anyone who feels that players who had a "The Mystical Order" tag deserve this sort of harassment after being betrayed by people they cared and trusted should be ashamed of themselves.

If any player, regardless of guild affiliation, feels they are receiving excessive, untoward, or unwarranted harassment, you absolutely have the right to ask the person to stop. If they don't, petition for a CSR.

I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but I personally am extremely disappointed in all of you. I expect better from this community and its players. Stop acting like children taunting each other on the playground, and be an adult.

Errmaagaahwd, Verious??

To end on a positive note, it seems the community as a whole has taken steps to improve the raid scene on Project 1999. We are excited to see what effect this will have on the server. There are good things on the horizon for Project 1999, and we hope you'll all enjoy the server during the holidays and the year 2014!

^ lol

imo the solution to all server problems is iksar illusion potions

can't argue when everyone is cool as fuck

Thanks for the kind words, I'll make sure to pass the information to the people who quit from the nonstop hate tells.

ALL of us? =p

good post though, and much needed. thank you derubael!

Wait... I just got a guild invite to them...

I think this is best take away from your post. Regardless of guild affiliation, a lot of people have been acting pretty disgusting. I mean it's Christmas, jeeze!

Maybe things might be a little better on this server if everyone on both sides made peace and put down the pitchforks.

nice post, and GG 25% bonus xp. YAY

EDIT: here's what was broadcasted:

+1 as a whole a lot of people disliked TMO and they for sure had a few vocal assholes but a majority were decent folks in game IMO.

As with any guild, TMO were a mixed bunch. I think a lot of the taunting comes from the result of keeping certain items/epics under lock and key to the rest of the server (necro epic, anyone?). That wasn't really very nice... but I understand why they did it ;)

Hopefully guild interaction improves and everyone tries to build a better community...hopefully :)
