Also I just wanted to say all the people who rag on those of us in the tunnel that don't drop trau and bend over the instant someone asks us for buffs probably don't know what it's like:

Not pictured: the dozens of buff requests in /say that I saw during this time span.

And this has been late on a Monday night.. a SLOW night for the buff beggars. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
^^ this. This is why I do not roam around asking for buffs from people. I try and level myself with the spells/skills I have and leave it at that. I want the classic experience where someone just randomly buffs you and you are eternally grateful because you are a god for 10-30 minutes. Just because the server is old and there are a bunch of high level players I do not assume that I will get handouts. I just want to play the game I love and if I get buffs on the way that is cool.

I don't think I'm the center of the universe, I just don't see why everyone tries to sugar coat the community to new players. They should know exactly what they are getting into.

EDIT: I just hope that new players will see enough posts to realize that this server is not what is marketed by the majority of the forum. They can hopefully avoid being indoctrinated into believing everyone on the server has your best interest at heart.

You know, maybe thats why so many new players get scammed these days. Sunshine and rainbows don't steal all your platinum.
I viewed these forums for 2 months before I even decided to play on here. I still decided to play and have loved it every time I log on. In a game where there are no instanced dungeons and an open world environment there are always going to be people who want to troll each other. There is competition, and as I have said numerous times before, that is what makes this game better than other MMOs, there is real world competition, not the shitty instanced shit where you walk through like a robot and don't even converse with people you play with. This game is no different than it was early on the live servers (if you played on a populated server), end game content in an open world environment is always going to have contention, that shouldn't take away from the 99% of the other parts of the game that are great.
