Vitriol Espresso "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis

According to some folks who seem to have flocked to Earthen Ring (my WoW server) they did so in order to meet the folks who run a podcast on internet radio called 'The Instance.' Before I even knew who these people were I realized that <alea iacta est>, their guild on Earthen Ring, was drawing people here somehow. Osmosis, I supposed. Now that I know what it is that's bringing these players to my server it also clicks into place as to why most of them suck so hard at playing the game.

Anybody who would jump onto a server in order to meet a fifth-rate internet celebutard like the people on 'The Instance' can't possibly be all that intelligent. Who in their right mind would race to join a server on which the players that describe the gameplay don't actually play the game anymore? From my experiences I have not yet met an <aie> member that wasn't either outright ninja-esque (a thief with no morals) or someone who just didn't give a crap as long as they got what they wanted. The entire concept of group play is almost completely lost on the majority of <aie> members. Why? Because you can only join in a guild event if you know which strings to pull and can actively stick your nose between the buttcheeks of the nearest official's friend's cousin.

In short: <alea iacta est> sucks ass for bringing people to an already full Earthen Ring and they need to stop with it before we're overloaded to the extreme. The douchenozzles running 'The Instance' radio show should seriously tone down how wonderful our server is before it's completely ruined for everyone (if it isn't already, hour long queues aren't fun at all). It's a contributing factor to an already difficult problem. And since these twunts don't actually actively play the game anymore, it's bordering on maliciousness.

Maybe I should do a counter-show in which I let people looking for a new server how much it blows chunks to wait an hour and a half in a virtual line in order to get to a raid that was supposed to have started a half an hour into your wait. I'll have to think about it. Until then:

GET THE HELL OFF OF EARTHEN RING!!!
