Account: Get in my pot

Character Name: Forest Fields

I tried to join the Old Port Guards via the recruiter, but he just turns me away.  I joined Aberdenn the day of the event they were destroyed.  Two days later, i tried to join the Old Port Guard and was unable.  I asked a DM to remove me from the Aberdenn faction, and I got a message in the log saying that I had been removed.  But i am still unable to join the Old Port Guard and I also am still gaining Aberdenn favor points from my Aberdenn armor.  I have also tried removing the armor from my gear in order to join, but have still been unable.
