Sorcerers and Bards cannot swap spells without invalidating.

[d'Artagnan]

Allow me to update this thread with a more honest reponse, based on the current modus operandi:

If you have a character that has become invalid, simply kiss the character goodbye.

There seem to be plenty of DMs (I actually spoke with five of them), but only one with a monopoly on the power to actually DO anything. Not a bad way to operate, if said DM is competent, and has a reasonable amount of time and interest to attend to the needs of the server.

In the absence of the aforementioned, empowerment and autonomy might be better options. Management 101.

I have been waiting for 3 weeks for my character files to be "corrected". I'll be willing to bet that:
#1 - my character will never get fixed.
#2 - this post will be deleted in less than three weeks

Did you know that DMs work on this for free? They do not get paid or anything.. and I must remind you, they have lives as well! And stuff like this can take some time.

Another thing is, this is a very childish behaviour from your side. IF you have any problem with the staff, PM them.. posting this filth on Dasaria's boards is just... too childish.

d'Artagnan,

There's more than one person who has access to the character files. I'm one of those people. If you had provided the information I needed, I could have fixed your character.

For clarification...

Sorcerers and Bards cannot swap spells without invalidating.

If you do invalidate your character provide all this information. If you do not we cannot fix your character...

Please post the following information here:

Bioware User Name
Character's Name
Version of the Game (which expansion)
Character's Original Name (if changed)
Circumstances by which your character became invalid
Classes/feats/spells taken prior to invalidation

And....

Let's keep this thread free of discussion, thanks. Each post should be an invalidity repair request with all of the required information, queued for processing. If the thread's not kept clear, it makes it harder for character fixers to refer to the list of open action items. Thanks!

You're probably right...

I'll be willing to bet that:
#1 - my character will never get fixed.
#2 - this post will be deleted in less than three weeks

It seems it's been some two years since I've thought to myself, "I'm reminded of a post somewhere about houseguests... a post it seems we have to repeat once in a while."

So, for those that have never heard it, for those that may need reminded, and for those who will just think, "we really had to explain that?"...

I just wanted to share a little about my perspective on Dasaria and how it relates to the players, and more importantly how the players interact with each other.

Dasaria is not an eq or wow or anything of the like. We don’t get paid to run, build, or administrate it, and you the players do not have to pay to play it. The staff builds and (will eventually, when we get a client that is worth a dang) DMs dasaria for fun.

Dasaria to me, is an extension of my home. We bought and paid for the server that runs it, the bandwidth you play on, the forums you post on etc etc. Now, that is not to say that it cannot be your home to. We welcome all who come to join and participate and make it something special, and something special it is!

As you are playing in my home, there are certain codes of behavior that I expect from my guests and that my guests can expect from a host. I expect my guests to treat each other respectfully. If you went to a nice dinner at your bosses house, would you insult his neighbor? No..That would be bad manners, wouldn’t it?

Now, assuming that you insulted his neighbor and ruined his dinner...What would your boss do? Well he would probably ask you to leave the party and you may well lose your job over it.

Would you insult your boss if you didn’t like what was on your plate? Good manners say that you would chew your food and smile and make good conversation with the other people there. If you hated the food there, you could just politely decline the invitation next time.

Also, if your boss wasn’t pleased with the way that you acted, he may well not invite you to his dinner party next time, and he may put a password on his door and make it exclusive invitation only. Get my drift?

Please remember that a player is not -owed- anything but fair enforcement of the server rules. We do our best, but are very human. We do this for fun.

Please conduct yourselves as guests in my home would and you will make things better for me.

Game On!
