Background information for those outside the gaming community:

Ultima Online is a swords and sorcery online game with many different servers. On any given server, literally thousands of players can be logged in and playing concurrently. Ultima Online is a product of Electronic Arts through its Origin Systems division (now ea.com). Part of this subscription based service included “volunteer” support staff. On May 9, 2001, they were all summarily dismissesd as the volunteer program was disbanded by Electronic Arts.

{Jane_Doe} I’m not ready to give up helping those in need just yet, so I’ll probably join one of the guilds being formed.
{Counselor_3858} That is inspirational of you Jane :)
{Counselor_3858} They can pull of our robes, but they can’t pull out our hearts, right? :)

Allow me to translate:

“I’m not smart enough to realize when I’ve been discarded after years of being used. They can fuck us once, but they can’t stop us from begging to be fucked again!”
