The People...

The players, generally speaking, on Relic are good people.

But Ke**n (I don't know if that is a real name or just a gamer tag) is the head honcho. Seems like a nice individual...until the facade fades.

Favoritism is very much one of the flaws of character....The ego is also one. Nothing pumps that ego more than the praise and thankfulness people bestow on him in chat...and nothing bruises it quicker than criticism...that does not get taken well.

it gets taken very personally, as if it is a direct attack on his world.

Z*lmunster - the self-proclaimed "lord of horse manure"...is something else. I've never had a positive interaction with them, or rather, an interaction that didn't leave me, as the player, feeling belittled and nullified and wondering why I even bothered bringing whatever it is up...

I know of so many players who have left Relic because of poor interactions with the staff. Like it or not, an admin is a customer-facing service job - and those two lack the skills to fulfill that role effectively.
