This type of thing was done in the past (i.e. Orctober?) and nobody complained and no ban/deny-sticks were swung. Do it again and the Immortal's response is more or less "How could you dare think that it would be alright, you cannot permagroup!" Kind of lame. When the Immortal transferred my Orc (Skali) the Immortal was a complete ####wad. I mean I know that you deal with a lot of raging retards so sometimes its easier being curt, which unfortunately comes naturally when policing a online game where people devote way too much of their time playing. But, that sucked.

I'd do the standard "keep doing XXX and you'll drive players away" argument but that would probably be a lie; most people who play are ridiculously hooked. It just sucked, and may send me packing sometime soon. I rolled my first character since like 2005 a few weeks ago, saw the Orcfest thing and thought "hey nifty I'll join in" and kerblammo.
