Curious if others have encountered this...
I recently had something a touch frustrating happen, and was curious to see if this has been experienced by others, and perhaps offer a word of caution.
About a week ago, an individual from the guild <Name omitted> (the only person in said guild that I'm aware of.) put out a call in Daggerfall looking for others to join a 'Vampiric' guild. I inquired about it, and was told that the first person to join would be 'bitten/turned'. I thought it could certainly be fun from a roleplayer's standpoint, so joined up. The other person said they were finishing up a few details, and would turn me within a day or so.
A few days came and went, with no results, though we did have friendly conversation now and then. I also assisted my supposed 'sire-to-be' by giving them several items, such as small stacks of Pitch, etc. I was told that due to a skill bug, the character had lost some of their vampiric abilities, and had a ticket in to have it fixed. No worries, so I waited... I said hellos and such, but never pressed the issue. Finally, after a week, I sent a mail last night, asking if all was well, and where things stood. I got my answer when I logged in tonight.
I had been un-friended, /ignored, and guild-kicked. I have no idea what happened. I helped this person in any way that I could, was friendly, and did not pressure in any manner whatsoever. So at the very least, this is a mild cautionary tale, if this person pops up offering a bite, then asking for several items for assistance while you wait for them to be ready.
I am unsure if noting the guild here is permitted - if it is, I will include it. Or if anyone chooses to, send me a private message and I will elaborate, but I understand calling people out by name is likely not permitted.

Memnock✭✭✭If you play on the EU server , yell in general after a guild called Death Dealers , its my second guild i joined for the specific purpose of becoming a vampire
They are nice group of people , who will be glad to either turn you or wait and go with some of the members to the NPC spawn area at night.
Anyways, we got a few vampires that are already turning other members , and alts as well and also , are doing mob farms for those of us who want to get the dark gift directly from the source ( like i wanted ).0 -

Thank you for the offer - it is greatly appreciated, though I play on the North American server. However, as luck would have it, a friend introduced me to someone from her guild (I'm a member now as well), who was willing to 'Sire' me in-character, which has been fun! I think dropping to Stage 2 after 30 minutes is a bit much, but not a worry.
It seems to have worked out for the better in all facets, so it seems that I was lucky, rather than unfortunate after all! 0 -
hackerssuck✭✭Sounds like someone griefing others with a promise of a bite for items. If you had screenshots of the conversation, you could get the scammer banned.0
