Unfortunately, the population of the Zuluhed server is small enough that members and friends of the Azerotian Protectorate continue to run into the players of Holyherbman and Masiah, so this issue simply won’t go away. This post is an attempt to provide visibility and transparency to this matter. It may be linked directly at "http://www.apzulu.com/news/show/220908".

Towards the end of 2008 two players joined the Azreothian Protectorate while leveling, having been invited by AP members during pugs. Both Masiah and Holyherbman were very active during their 24 hour membership, and made notable requests of their new guild. To their credit, the existing members of AP were extraordinarily responsive to the Masiah’s and Holyherbman’s requests, supplying them with trade goods for crafting and gear, and even running them through a few instances.

The response to these acts of kindness is, quite simply, the most immature and vicious behavior I’ve seen to date in the WoW universe. The day after joining, without provocation, Masiah and Holyherbman attacked the members of AP in guild chat, spamming abusive, inflammatory and racist slurs at the online members. Checking the guild bank after their departure revealed that they had also taken as much as they could before leaving the guild.

As of this writing, Masiah is a member of the guild Epedemic Bar Room Heros and an active endgame PUG player who frequently appears in groups and raids. Since the example given above is only one example in a recurring pattern of behavior, moving past this event has proven problematic. Members of AP maintain that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in any world. As demonstrated by this online post, we have become more vocal in our stand against this kind of divisive behavior.

In the end, everyone is encouraged to make their own decisions, and those choices should be peacefully respected. Speaking for myself, I will never play with Masiah or Holyherbman.
