Hello just a thought or two....after reading all of this I went to the RICH forum.
I noticed the required standards to join...and to maintain membership, this was both dignified and honourable. While I know little of past history at the very least these folk deserve a chance to pursue their aims in peace and without "snide" comments.
When I joined EL I decided not to seek membership of any guilds, just to enjoy the game in solitute. In the words of the highest ranking player " it is a game" and maybe it is for all of us to remember that.
I recently considered joining ..or rather seeking to allowed to join a particular guild but decided to stay as I am.
Mr Minds input to this forum has added to it... he appears to be fair minded and willing to listen. This is in stark contrast to others who appear crass and to be perfectly frank an insult to whatever educational institution they attended ( maybe they didnt or still dont attend enough). There are those whose only intelligent comments here are the begging letters to be reinstated to the game.
Let us see fair play here.
Thank you.
