You all keep repeating this lie, but in my experience almost all of the RL racism came from people who can't distinguish fantasy from reality.

DMO was made up of Erudites. Not Humans of African Descent. That distinction was paramount and I impressed it greatly into every single brother I brought into the order.

It was the great unwashed casuals that kept calling us racist, digital blackface, etc.

The game's creators couldn't do the amazing technicolor humans that every game in the future was able to do due to technical, storage, and bandwidth limitations, so they made one race have dark skin. They also gave them the highest intelligence in the game.

We were a roleplay guild. The fact that we roleplayed as being of superior intellect...well it brought out the worst in a lot of people.

EQ has a lot of "fantasy racism" in it. Elves hate orcs; dwarves hate ogres; barbarians and erudites tolerate each other but value different things (strength & stamina vs intellect) and aren't the best of friends.

The problem is the sheer number of people who can't distinguish "fantasy" racism from RL racism; who think that the reason you're overcharging them is that you the player want an excuse to do so instead of playing a character.

And Ramal you need to shut up, but you never will.

lmao the game was made by humans with access to the historical context of blackness, and so do its players. Explicitly playing only males of a black race and pretending that it exists only in the context of a game world is intellectually dishonest at best and ignorant at worst.

plus they are categorically dumb assholes

Exhibit A for a person who can't distinguish fantasy from reality.

Why not ban all related forum accounts too?

By your lack of logic combined, we should just ban anyone who creates an Erudite. It's digital blackface after all.

Please, they've been blackfacing and racist longer than you've been in their guild.

I won't even post the shit Ramal said about Muslims.

Couple that with names like "Snewp" and names that are clearly inspired from real life black names, this is black face.

Let's hope Seal Team no longer takes this non-sense with them. So much baggage for the only guild that matters.

Benanov is right 100%.

I believe it should be possible to have an exclusive environment guild for any race or group in Norrath, and it has been done before by Dark Elves, Iksar, Gnomes, and Dwarves.

Unfortunately, Ramal/Agatha just doesn't know when to stop. He is a born troll. And he's hilarious! But it has some costs. RIP DMO and I hope future roleplay/environment guilds prosper, including Erudian ones.

Correct, strongNpretty

lmao

How on earth did you losers not use "this is a dark day" in the title. Can't even take advantage of a good pun and you expect to control a server?

Very happy to read this. Some of the most obnoxious players I’ve ever had the displeasure of speaking with.
