Then there was the guild's most prolific poster, whose name "Nirgon" reads like a slightly dyslexic version of a rather rude insult for real life "Dark Men". Just swap two letters.

"Perhaps I'm just imagining things.." I thought to myself. "..Seeing intent in what may be mere happenstance. They're probably not racist, just stupid."

So, I make an account, install EQ and create a new character. Then, I run across the very first member of "DMO" I see in game. Someone who has chosen to name his male Erudite "Unckle".

"Ah, so I didn't imagine it." I realize. "Fuck these guys."

I play games to get away from shit like this in the real world. I don't appreciate having this sort of pathetic toxicity pushed into my face in what should otherwise be a fun, fantasy escape. I'm glad to hear that "Dark Men of Odus" was disbanded.

It must be confusing as hell for folks to learn English via ESL and then have to suffer through some message boards.

lol how is this thread 14 pages long? they made a guild of erudites called “dark men” and half the characters in it are named in zero-percent-veiled nods to blacks. it’s obviously and intentionally racist, that’s the whole concept, stop engaging
