The Truth Behind the Guild War

[Free Board] The Full Story and Aftermath of the Hanbit vs. RunawayTrain Guild War

(Gameplay_Video_Of_The_Problem_Start.mp4)

Hanbit composition – Sub-tank, Main Healer, Sub-Healer
RunawayTrain composition – Main Tank, Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, Ranged DPS

2 minutes 30 seconds – Main tank receives no buffs other than defensive cooldowns during 1st tank-buster. Healer shields are completely absent, with no follow-up cover. Sub-tank dies, then full party wipe.
3 minutes 4 seconds – Re-attempt begins.
5 minutes 37 seconds – Main tank again receives no cover during 1st tank-buster.
5 minutes 42 seconds – Confirmation that sub-tank already has a shield, which main tank does not.
5 minutes 51 seconds – Main tank falls, followed by sequential party wipe.

Main tank struggling, so guild member DPS requests more healing cover for main tank from healer. > Result, ‘Main tank is too soft’, ‘Have you even played a healer?’

Note: Main Tank, OneHitForTheLord = Holy Knight, overwhelmingly sturdy.
Currently, he easily withstands tank-busters in Iskaria, the highest difficulty content.

Everyone, even newbies who just started the game, knows that tanks alone struggle to survive in any raid, requiring healer backup.
If one can survive alone and kill everything, why party play? Just solo.

7 minutes 23 seconds – Sub-tank’s gimmick mistake wipes healers and DPS; main tank left alone to 1v1 the boss. Main tank holds out for about 30 seconds to demonstrate mechanics, but then quick re-attempt due to lack of damage and hopeless situation.

14 minutes 17 seconds – Main tank again falls due to healing miss. Sub-tank takes over but DPS healers are not covered by heals during area-of-effect damage, only sub-tank and healers survive. Quick re-attempt.

If it had ended with ‘my mistake, too bad,’ it wouldn’t have escalated into a fight.
However, the healer side first declared it was the main tank’s problem: ‘Too soft, healing couldn’t keep up,’ ‘How did you even gear up?’ etc.

Healers claiming DPS gear for themselves despite clear item coordination before starting, reasoning ‘We suffered too much, so we deserve this much.’
This is where the conflict intensified and escalated into a guild fight.

Person who initiated the conflict in the dungeon = Hanbit Guild Healer.
Person who escalated a good-faith conversation into a guild war = Hanbit Guild Master.
Person who declared the guild war first = Hanbit Guild Master.

– 1st!

└ No, isn’t this SoonToDie?? SoonToDie, why do you keep stirring up trouble? Do you cause it, or does trouble find you?

└ I bet trouble finds him.

– LOLOLOL. Is this an analysis post or a hit piece? To my eyes, it looks like an analysis post.

└ Watch it a hundred times, and the healers are still idiots ㅇㅇ;;

– Are those healers newbies?

└ If you’re a newbie, shut up and play the game. If you, a newbie, boast and ask if others have ever played a healer, that’s when your jaw gets broken.

└ Jaw broken no no, skull smashed ㅇㅇ.

– At this point, shouldn’t this be posted on the incident board instead of the free board?

└ That’s right. SoonToDie, go to the incident board.

– The author is DontOrderMe, but why SoonToDie?

└ That guy used to be SoonToDie, always PK-ing Gunners like crazy, then one day he made a new character and came back.

└ Now instead of PK-ing, he thrashes everyone in guild wars and the Arena.

└ He hasn’t been raising this character for long, but he’s max level with awesome gear, so he’s unbeatable. Berserker is a coffin-tier class, but seeing him play, many thought it was super strong and rolled a Berserker, only to quit.

└ WHAT????? How much money did he spend?

– Oh, I think I know which guild that unheard-of GM mentioned. Why is he offline now?? Hey, hyung, I need gold, log in quickly…

└ I also think I know, waiting…

└ Jung-ee hyung hi.

└ Why is this one talking nonsense?

I wondered if the Hanbit Guild members had seen the post I uploaded to the free board.
If they had seen it, how would they react?
Would they curse, or would they be racking their brains to post a rebuttal?

‘Since I analyzed OneHitForTheLord-nim’s point-of-view gameplay video down to the second and added my comments, they probably can’t even rebut if they wanted to.’

This is why ignorant people shouldn’t casually run their mouths and escalate things.
Even if they ran their mouths, they should have aimed to end things amicably. It’s because they unnecessarily hyped up a ‘guild war’ and stirred up trouble that this situation arose, isn’t it?

If they made a mistake, perhaps it was picking a fight with a guild full of veterans, out of all the many users.
The members of RunawayTrain guild were guild members who had been together since the Myth guild days, and most of them were so-called

open beta users who started as soon as Frisia officially opened.
Of course, some started a little later, and some had played since closed beta.

“Back then, I really thought, ‘A god-tier game has finally come out’…”

The graphics were considered good by the standards of the time, the story was solid, and the sense of impact was indescribable, so it was met with great expectations.

Well, now, perhaps because it’s become so corrupted by money, it’s nothing more than a treatment for low blood pressure.

‘I only play because of the sentiment.’

I woke up after a good night’s sleep, stretched my stiff body, and yawned broadly.
I had never written such a long post, except for reports, so I had spent the night wondering how to write it, and I was incredibly tired.

‘Next time, I’ll just ask PatchNote, seriously.’

I scratched my belly vigorously, turned my head left and right to loosen my body, then immediately checked my phone.
Perhaps because of the incident with the Hanbit guild last night, the guild group chat was continuously scrolling with messages, as if it were on fire.
‘How many messages are there, exactly?’
After hitting +300, the number stopped counting, so I couldn’t tell how much they had chattered.

‘Anyway, aren’t these guys supposed to be at work right now?’

The current time was around 2:30 PM.
For a typical office worker, this would be the time they finished lunch and were actively working, yet for some reason, these veterans seemed to be glued to their phones all day.

Just looking at it makes me a little curious about what’s going on…
I was about to tap the group chat to check when I noticed a single private message floating pathetically, and I let out a small, hollow laugh.

It was a message from PatchNote, Han Do-yoon.

‘His reason for contacting me… it’s obvious.’

[Han Do-yoon: Hyung… I didn’t make any mistakes, did I…?]

[Han Do-yoon: Um… I don’t remember… anything…]

[Han Do-yoon: I’m sorry…]

‘He’s always apologizing.’

‘There’s so much to apologize for.’
That’s just how drunk people are, I guess.

[You don’t have to worry about it.]

‘Should I have put a smiling emoji next to it?’
‘He’ll probably dig a hole and crawl into the deep sea, thinking my reply was too stiff.’

Sure enough, a reply came back, not deviating an inch from my expectation.

‘Is he also just staring at his phone?’
‘Why is he replying so fast?’

[Han Do-yoon: I’m sorry. Last time too, I caused too much trouble. I’ll be careful to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future.]

[It’s okay.]

He did do some unconventional things, like the kiss on the cheek, which was new to me, but that much could be overlooked as playful affection.

More extreme individuals were running rampant; if I couldn’t even understand this much…

‘Um, honestly, I don’t particularly want to understand it, but since he’s still young, let’s just say it’s understandable.’

Too lazy to say anything more, I put down my phone and rummaged through the kitchen cupboard.
Seeing the empty cupboard, I realized that I truly didn’t eat well.

But even if I could bring myself to cook, cleaning up afterward was annoying.
Especially doing the dishes.

Still, to concentrate when playing games, I needed a full stomach, and of all things, I was out of ramen.

I closed the cupboard door with a blank look, then, out of habit, focused my mind and deliberated.

‘Should I… order food, or go out and buy a packet of ramen?’

My deliberation was short, and my actions were slow.
I moved my body sluggishly, like a tank afflicted with a movement speed reduction debuff, and shoved my arms into the padded jacket casually draped over a chair.

‘Ah, I need to change out of my pajamas, but it’s annoying.’
‘I won’t die if I go out like this, so I’ll just go.’

As I staggered and opened the door to the outside world, a fierce wind blew in.
Despite wearing a padded jacket, my whole body shivered from the cold air seeping through the gaps in my clothes.

‘Seriously… I don’t want to go out.’
‘It’s dangerous outside the covers…’

“—But ordering delivery… is too much of a waste of money…”

There was certainly a reason to risk danger and save money.
A limited-edition random box costume had just been released, one that was unnecessarily pretty, cute, and adorable, making me feel like I’d regret not buying it, thus triggering a gamer’s desire for possession.

And it was a Christmas and New Year limited-edition costume.

Due to the nature of random boxes, if I didn’t get it this time, I would be like a dog chasing a chicken, shedding a single tear, and then have to buy it from another user at a premium.

I already had unexpected food expenses, like Han Do-yoon’s drinking tab, so ordering delivery on top of that was a bit much…

‘Well, I drank most of it, so it wasn’t entirely wasted money, but now I really needed to save.’
‘I have to gather every speck of dust and buy it somehow.’

It was, even to myself, a truly gamer-like mindset.
I wore a self-deprecating smile, hunched my body like a bagworm, and trudged towards the supermarket.

I was lucky there was a large discount supermarket a 5-minute walk from my studio apartment.
If it had been farther, I probably would have just ordered delivery, saying, ‘Whatever happens, happens.’
