Here's a little-long story from the Great Houses, which are usually not involved on official forums, but as most of the participants of the big conflicts know, involved in most of the wars and conflicts that's been recently happening. At the beginning of this world there were bunch of Russians, and zox was one of them. Russians wanted to play as one entity called Great Houses, but for one reason or another, including pay to play, some left the game, and due to a lack of party arrow in the first few days, zox got lost with his buddy dezmond, and been travelling into a different direction, later on they found out that they have a high quality clay and decided to form their own village separate from Great Houses, yet use our name as a form of a backup so that people would at least think who they would have to deal with if they would go after zox. Our LS didn't mind that at all, and in the beginning we were even helping zox by moving his clay to other people for him, that way nobody would know about his secret location, and even turned off map saving option in the client as he asked. Surprisingly enough for me we didn't get any clay from him for free as good butt-buddies i thought we were, the price was pretty high for it, not as high compared to 50$ or whatever he asked people, but lots of in-game effort been traded for his clay. We've invited zox on a raid against ainran, at the time he was selling his character + village for 200$, but he didn't want to risk his character asked one of our village members to use his account/character named Naga, which zox nearly drowned (had 35hhp left as it turned out, and still kept on going). After fail attempt at building crossroad blocks we went looking for another, more active, crossroad system, and someone showed up on a radar, being too close to the walls. The plan have changed to lure ainran out, instead they've sent out some alts which i took the liberty of killing and asking other participants not to get involved so that the scents would only lead to our village, and in hopes that ainran would come out since i had red hands now. But zox'es buddy dezmond didn't care much and wanted some newb blood, which got him scented for a week as well, which later he would have to spend at our village to keep scents away from the clay. During that zox'es friend been living in our curio house, and during that time 2x high q necro robes and occult rings would dissapear from time to time, and one time a day before his departure, we've noticed the ring on his fingers while he was offline, we've tried to contact and waited for couple of hours, then decided to knock him out and take INT gear out of him and leave with a couple of bruises - no big deal, in Russia we say 7 don't wait for 1, and people we a bit mad with him anyway, he didn't do or say jack during the week he spent with us, only ran around stuffing himself with daily lp. Turned out he only had 1 ring on himself he forgot to take off and some crap q necro, so we apologized for misunderstanding and said we would replace his armor but explained that it was his own fault anyway, would there be more contact with us, it wouldn't have happened. Zox got pissed off at first, and later it seemed like he found a reason, or pretended he did. He stopped asking for any help with his trades and raised up the price on his clay, im assuming it was when he started getting lots of cash out of his trades. Some time later during the raid at Rl'yeh we found what looked like a kiln made out of Zox'es clay, later he confirmed that he's been selling it to our enemies, after which we stopped communicating. Later on, not so far from now, ainran finds zox'es clay location and vandals the hell out of it, zox looks for jordan coles'es skype and stumbles upon a fake one, which happens to be our ally, and here is what he says:
(warning: retarded logic)
http://pastebin.com/af03DrM7not sure how he came down to a conclusion we were involved in helping our enemies get top quality resource, but he didn't hesitate to bend over jcoles who just robbed him, in hopes to backstab us.
after reading that, and confirming the story was legit, he even pmed some of us asking who was the person pretending to be jcoles, it was only a matter of time he would contact the real coles and become ainran's b#%@h. We've never planned to take zox'es clay by force unless he would go against or backstab us, and that moment happened, even more so, it was now ainran's clay, and they were/are our enemies, and so here we are =). We found out there were more people pissed at zox, so we had enough people to camp the ram and have a backup if ainran would show. Oh yeah, and there wasn't any vacation, he just happened to be away for most of the day and was a bit careless when it all happened, there were even some warnings of what might happen to his clay spot on Russian forums, so gg. I think its for the best zox won't be around anymore, for both him and the game.
