I had a dream.... (with apologies to Nay)
#1MC, Moocow. A very smart and dedicated man, a man I spent many hours lvling and camping with, a man who took great delight in my simple question "How's the family?", a man I still count as a friend. Out of the ashes of Revenge he grew Mythology, his ideal was that it would be a server wide clan and all that pulled their weight would be rewarded. A true uniting force which a fractured and demoralised Rosmerta desperately needed. It worked, Mythology was the greatest clan of its time, she reveled in the successes and defeat only served to inspire a deeper understanding of herself and what, as a team, she could accomplish. I love Mythology and have had many happy moments just chatting and being a drunken fool with my friends, I have nothing but respect for the meat of the clan and happily give credit to Classic for being such an attentive student to the strategies of her founder. We all know I was kicked, although I'm told no one really knows why, to be honest I don't care. Why don;t I care? The philosophy on which Mythology was founded has not been adhered to for a very long time. The loyalty and self sacrifice of it's core members, the humble clansmen, has certainly remained, I am honored to have fought alongside such people. Now though, and the majority of people reading this agree, I can state that because it has been said to me in many a conversation with many a clansman, is that Mythology is now about control, not spreading the spoils of war or even allowing many high levels to prove their worth as was MC's original blueprint. Control. I witnessed an argument between a former chief and an obvious high lvl hiding behind a noob alt in the arena. The then Chief stated "We have enough purple to gear 50 rogues" Yet I see many high level rogues without gear. For the record I quite like this particular former Chief, there is actually only one high lvl on Ros I don't like. Why relentlessly camp DL bosses then? To build the clan bank? To gear alts while so many mains are left bereft of even the most basic of DL gear? Why pressure good people who would be just as happy to chat and help noobs get frozen gear into camping bosses the clan won't need for months to come? Control. Of late it has become sadly obvious that Mythology is struggling, dozens of high lvls have either quit the game or have started playing on other servers. Yes the engine upadte accounted for many not being able to log and just as many left because of frustrating lag but I can name many players ( I will respect their privacy and won't of course) who have moved to other servers because of said control. In discussions with high levels on other servers I'm told not a day goes by without a high level Rosmerta toon asking for help to transfer. Mytholgy, the first clan to truly unite a server is now in danger of becoming the first clan to kill a server. I would dearly love to change this, as much as it pains me to consider challenging Myth I think Ros needs a real alternative. The game was so much more fun when there where three or more strong clans. The peak for me was when Rispetto, Revenge and Awake where so closely matched. Brookie and Jack where two of the smartest, funniest people I've ever known and always took the game for what it was. A game. Ancient is now open to members, hell I don't care if you are a high lvl and just want to have a go at DL bosses, group me and we will try, clans don't really matter. Agaim, I have no argument with any member of any clan and respect completely the achievements of the past. It's just time for change that's all. I fully expect the haters to go crazy on this post and I encourage healthy debate. As usual I most likely won't respond on the forum, if you wish to speak to me you know how to find me, I think a healthy argument or debate in real time is good for the soul. Peace.
