i was just killing some time on my vacation before the ball & chain got out of bed, and i see the message that je'cy has logged on. i started talking to him, and he said that he plays coh and sees some former drow swg players in there.

i won't mention names, but he said they told him that everyone left me all their credits and items when they left swg. did i not get the mail when you guys left me all this stuff? please, let me know.

when micco left and anika came back for a short time, he took all of micco's resources & crafting items and moved them to tatooine. i've used a few of the resources since then, but just to make starship parts for myself.

i did grab a handfull of unique reward / loot items from micco and anika's houses, but only to put on display in a museum. other than these things, i don't recall getting any handouts from people.

i did, however, have more than one former drow swg player - again, i won't mention their names - offer to SELL me their credits for real-world money. not that i cared, because at the time the nge hit i had close to 200 mil from selling skill tapes. after selling lots of liquids for making mandalorian armor, i now have a little over 500 mil.

the only other thing that got left to me was the city and guild. i took those over to ensure that they would remain intact. ampris and ougnewire have said that they were not planning on joining another guild, so i said i would maintain the city & guild as long as any drow wanted to remain playing. i've left 4 of my 5 toons drow tagged too, just to keep the numbers up as much as i can.

i guess i'm just a little bent out of shape because i have put nearly three years of time and effort into this game and over two years into drow and kintan. now hearing that people are telling others i was given everything and that it was all handed to me sure is a slap in the face. i stuck through the curb and the nge, and i still enjoy the game. there is still more that i want to do.

Calm down Iray...think about what happened...Je'cy tells you what he heard in CoH and you are assuming he hasn't generalized or misunderstood what was told to him over your fellow DROW members or that perhaps they didn't explain what they intended to say to him? I ran into him a couple times back when I was playing CoH but that was 5 months ago. I thought he had stopped playing even before I left to go to EVE. Perhaps he was told that you were running the city and guild and thought that meant everything had been handed over to you? Unless you are looking at screen shots of the log, I think you are overreacting just a bit.

Anyway, I could have sworn I sent you an email ingame that I had added you to admin on all my buildings (I think I may have forgotten about 2 smalls that just have misc space loot junk in them) before I logged out for the last time. You have had access to all those resources and items in those houses since I left. I thought it was odd when you asked about taking items for a museum. I figured you would have had it all cleared out by then or felt uncomfotable taking rare items without specific approval. Have at it! Plunder at will! Lord knows I won't be setting foot back in SOE's universe anytime soon.

I don't know what anyone else did or didn't do, I never asked as it wasn't really my business what they did with their own stuff.

Its been 6 months or more since many of the team left that game. I really don't see any reason to get bent out of shape because of hear say based on what may or may not have happened 6 months ago in a time when many of us were emotionally upset with having 3 years of work and sweat taken away by SOE's stupidity.

On a diffferent note, I think I speak for Micco as well when I say we could really use you on the EVE team and we miss having you around in our game group. For the love of God, get over SWG and get into EVE already! :)

Heya Iray,

I believe that Je'Cy misunderstood what we told him. We told him you were in control of DROW SWG now but nothing that we left you all our stuff as I know I didn't get the chance to when my account ran out. The only stuff I knew you got for sure was Micco's resources. Sorry for the bad communication. Hope all is well for you and hope you join one of the other teams so we can all see you again. I play both CoH and Eve so pick one already!!! :P

I dunno where you got that from.

I didn't give any of my stuff away. After the NGE hit I was so bitter that I didn't log on even to add permissions to houses or anything. In any case all I had were a few million creds. All my money was tied into resources that are probably worthless right now. I still should have given you all my stuff but I was just so mad at the time :(
