You could have at least mumbled some nonsense about the lighting in Toxxulia Forest.
Ok? I don't require your approval for my opinions, and dark is objectively cooler than "high" and has IMO less racist implications. Real easy to spin these words to whatever connotation fits whatever we wanna bitch about, as you so readily demonstrate. The only naming criteria for a good guild name in Everquest is what a group of 13 year old boys from the late 90s would consider cool. Dark Men of Odus fits that. Your argument is invalid.

Why would high have more racist implications than dark?

Is that a real question or do you not know other definitions of high? It's kind of a real world problem and some might take that as a negative stereotype.

I'm gonna refer back to our bad faith conversation earlier. I feel like this is an example, and I'm not going to continue if you persist. High refers to being under the influence of a substance, generally marijuana. And we're talking about black people/erudites. And I don't think it's a far leap of logic to find something offensive about combining those ideas.

This was fun. Let's debate the merits of more multi-defintion adjectives in the future, Socrates.

If you don't care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation!
