Anyone considering transferring to Arawn...I would advise you to reconsider.
Arawn is a very active server, yes, and all the top bosses are killed almost immediately, however that is not all Arawn is. There is a very hostile atmosphere waiting for you, regardless of which clan you join. Now don’t misunderstand, I am not saying that everyone on Arawn is hostile, but the loudest voices, the ones with the most authority, and those who support them are generally awful people.
Over the past few months my clan and I have been the target of bullying from the dominant clan of Arawn. In that clan, everyone is told that I am an awful backstabber, a fake person, someone who creates alts only to gear them, and other such lovely things. As a result, people who do not even know me yell insults at me, anyone I recruit is told lies in an attempt to poach to the dominant clan, adds are dragged on us at bosses, and my clannies are unable to set foot in arena without being killed for my supposed wickedness.
As someone who spends my life working in the human resource field, I have experience handling difficult people and situations. I like to think I am patient. However, after years of witnessing the dominant clan of this server bullying anyone they decide should be painted as the enemy, I am fed up of it all. Many of these bullies who spend their days shouting immature insults and whispering lies are adults who should know better than to behave this way.
Generally there is a common trend to their behavior. A clan or group of people leave the dominant clan or compete against them. This is perceived as a threat, so the propaganda machine churns out a pile of lies regarding this new “enemy.” It does not matter if that group or clan had previously had a good relationship with the dominant clan, nor do previously held friendships count. You will be bullied until you A. Disappear B. Decide to bow to the dominant clan and join them.
I have been told to kill myself, been compared to a prostitute, called fake, worthless, a carrier of disease, heartless, selfish, greedy, and so much more...My leaders have been bullied based on pictures on outside apps, have been been subject to constant attempted poaching, and have received many of the same insults I have had to deal with. At this point, we have many on Arawn blocked, and we have been telling clannies to simply block anyone who insults them or tries to tell them lies regarding DS.
All of us in DS are working adults or students, with families and responsibilities out of game. We log in to have some fun, kill some bosses, and spend time with our clan family. We do not log for insults, drama, and a lack of good sportsmanship.
Anyone who is reading this and who is instantly driven to defend Arawn or the dominant clan as friendly, your lies are worn out and unimaginative, please keep out of this thread, and please leave my clan and I alone. We’re tired of the bs. If you hate us so much, keep it to yourselves. If we are as awful as you say, we won’t change as a result of your insults. If I am truly a terrible person, stop trying to poach my clannies, as you wouldn’t want people I think of as wonderful and helpful anyways-I recruit the dredge of humanity according to you after all. For those wondering whether the statements from the dominant clan about me or DS are true, spend some time with us and judge for yourself. Do not let rumours govern your views and how you behave.
I sincerely doubt any of the problem people will ever actually be permanently banned for their behavior, or that the attitude on Arawn will mysteriously change for the better, so I advise anyone considering Arawn to close this door, walk away, and find a nicer server.
If you are considering Arawn...
