Thinking of playing, need help
 

Well as the title says, i'm thinking of starting a character here, a cleric. My main question is are the forums an accurate reflection of the game play? It seems pointlessly obnoxious to play this old as dirt game if the community is so bad mannered. I can guarantee pretty much anyone reading these forums that hasn't starting playing here yet wouldn't want to play here.

So that was my first question, hopefully that will be answered and I'll want to play. Now i was wondering how hard it is to get groups? As a cleric I don't want to solo, so if anyone can shed some light on that it would be nice.

people often come to the forums to cry.

People don't usually come to the forums to say they are having a good time. Too busy having a good time and all that.

I joined on December 29th, 2012. I just hit 41. I have found groups everyday, from East Commons, to Oasis, to Unrest, to Mistmoore, to Overthere, to Guk, to City of Mist. It's been a great experience.

The amount of nasty people you see on these forums are about 1% of the player base. Most players on this server are perfectly friendly.

After leveling up twice(once very recently) I can say without a doubt that this message board is in no way a reflection of the average player. Leveling up just about everyone I ran into was nice, and there are plenty of groups. And being a cleric I doubt you will ever be LFG long.

The raid scene on the other hand..

This.

Thank you!! I was hoping for those kind of responses =) I'm glad to hear the forums are a minority. Going to try to get this going now ^^ see you all in game

Even people who are often pretty nasty on the forums (I've been known to be a bit grumpy here or there) tend to be very friendly ingame. Just be polite and the vast majority of people ingame will be polite back to you.

The game is great, the community is great....Stay away from the forums except to maybe use the EC tunnel forum, and ignore the trolls.

Have fun and welcome!

Never judge a game or activity by it's forums, since they always mis-represent the in-game community. If you do, then you might as well take up knitting or sleeping as your new hobbies. I can't imagine any forums supporting those tasks are heavily negative...

One should judge a game by the quality of its trolls.
