Reflecting on WYD - Players and Mannerisms

Today I want to discuss the difference in players now from last year. It seems that every year more and more bad mouthed and bad mannered players seem to join WYD, unfortunate that that is how the world is but at least the GMs do well with sanctioning them. On several occasions this year I have been a victim of verbal... abuse. lol, for lack of a more mild statement. Once over being in a guild, I mean, its a game, this person must really need help or a life if they take it so seriously that a player is in a guild they don't like, hence hurl insults at them because of that. All I can say to other players who also go through this, just report them to the GMs, and don't forget the screen shot of what was said :)

Another thing that is concerning is the so called 'pros' of the game using hacks or third party programs to gain an upper hand on other players. Don't they have a conscience, or is their ego too big that it turns to 'whatever needs to be done to stay on top'? I congratulate the GMs on now being able to spot this in the logs.

I guess everyone can't be a 'good player' the 'rats' are need to be made an example of. hehe

Reflecting on playing WYD - Guilds

Blogging is finally back, seeing as this week I am busy, I shall be reflecting on my time playing WYD for this weeks blogging.

It has been just over one year since I started playing WYD, which was a mere coincidence that I found it. But during this time have witnessed many things. I have seen the rise and fall of guilds, a time of CMs come and go, and so much more.

When I started playing, Zeus and The Balance where the big guilds, constantly at one another’s throats, right up to the last battle which TB won. Then emerged the age of blue capes, Shield came along and did quite well before internal issues and unhelpful ‘allies’ finally made it go under, not to mention the glory hunters. Also with the emergence of Top Class guild, it all changed to red age once again, history repeating itself. Now people and glory hunter switching to blue again.. hmmm… WYD is very funny at times.

With the rise and fall of each guild, players leave…friends leave, some come back, some don’t. Although quite a number of the older players have left. Wonder if the GMs will look into trying to keep them. Unfortunate when they leave though. Players come and go, but the game still goes on.
