  April 9, 2001 Dear friends, ����� Over the course of the past year that Facingwest and myself have been honored to serve you, we've encountered many difficulties. Most of these difficulties have entailed downgrades or major changes in the way the guild operates. For example: Entangle (no longer does a massive skill drop), faith advancement affects levels, and finally call lightning and produce fire have been downed in power. As many of you know, I get angry and upset when these things occur. I don't get mad because it's harder for us to kill. I get mad because they'll do this but not touch things that we've been asking for for over a year to get done. Things that won't make us a more powerful guild, but rather, a more interesting/diverse guild. As it stands there are 2 items in QC that are being reviewed for us, I'll keep you informed as to the status of the QC. ����� At this time I would like to address the question that I'd given the guild about a month or two ago. What is a ranger? I was very pleased that the guild, in general, felt fired up enough to provide me with a varied and informative "definition" of what you think a ranger is. ����� The overall feeling that we get from the guild is as such: �����A ranger is good or evil. Just as the wolf cares for its pups or slays the weak. �����A ranger functions as a necessary force of nature. Like the torrential rains carve a new stream or the rotting corpse nourishes the ground. �����We are either here to help or hinder. It's how the OTHERS treat us and our place that determines our actions. �����This is a basic version of much of what was told to me about your opinions on the guild. Facingwest and myself think it is a good thing. These are not laws, they may be used as guidelines, but I hope most of all they will give you the old and you the new some insight into what makes us a worthwhile guild. They may take our strength, they may ignore our pleas, but they will never take our hearts and our souls. For that's what makes us rangers. Thank you dear friends, and until next time..... Kahlroo Devr, Guildmaster |
