Well, honestly, we knew about it months before he left.. We knew he would eventually go back, we could just tell.. We didn't do anything about it because we didn't have any reason to and we respected Apostate far too much to stir up any shit over something A) we couldn't prove and B) smoething that wasn't even happening yet.. Does FoH need anything from HP/AL/Creator?? Not really at all, most of the time it's just time fillers.. Sure we have some newer folks who could use a trinket from Creator or a Bloodbath from HP, helms are always nice from AL as well as casters sleeves etc, but realistically, we don't need any of that shit anymore..
Apostate is a great guy, there is no doubt about it.. I think really the only thing for us officers was that he wasn't straight with us.. Apostate would play inactive/retired CD characters while we raided, go anonymous to hideout, etc.. Alls we wanted was for him to be straight with us.. He was an incredible contributor and a tough loss to swallow for sure, but knowing how the guy truly felt would have been great.. Tehom is his twin brother, they live together, it was obvious all along that Tehom just had to look over his shoulder or that there was open dialogue between the two on strats and whatnot.. It was really unavoidable.. I applaud Aposate though for generally making sure that we were finished with said mob before CoED would kill it with basically the exact same way as we did..

It was inevitable that they would eventually come up to speed though, it was just a matter of time.. With enough determination and practice, anything is possible in EverQuest, that's no secret to anyone..
Would I have done the same thing if I was in Apostate's shoes? Thats really the question I ask myself.. This is just one of those situations that sucks and theres no way around it..
