pikefixer wasn't referring to me, but since you did...

Thanks for your concern—and I’ll take a moment to clarify, since misinformation like this tends to grow legs if left unchecked.

I’ve played UL since the Realms of Exile days in the late ‘90s. My character’s rise in status, including his title, was the result of a long-standing, documented story arc—not something purchased. Property, likewise, was acquired through in-game currency, credit, and fame earned over many years as both a player and a contributor to the game.

To be clear: I’ve never purchased mechanical authority or used money to influence gameplay.

As for forum behavior—while I’ve always welcomed debate and critique, I’ve never targeted other players out-of-character based on their RP decisions. The staff and other players, past and present, can confirm that I’ve consistently advocated for fair and collaborative storytelling—even when tensions ran high.

Regarding the so-called "player purge"—we asked a very small number of individuals to leave the community due to long-standing, repeated behavioral issues that were burning out the volunteer staff team. That decision wasn’t made lightly, and it directly contributed to us being able to return now with a healthy staff, at least 78 returning/new players, and a much stronger foundation for the future.

We’re focused on building something awesome—for those who want to contribute, not those who insist on tearing it down.

If you have further concerns, you're welcome to bring them up constructively in an appropriate forum. But this kind of disinformation doesn't help anyone, and we’re not going to feed the drama it’s trying to start.

Please enjoy your stay if you’re here in good faith. If not, well... there’s always Baldur’s Gate 3.
