Glad you posted this, quite a few people have been concerned with how the forums look to new players. Also glad you decided to ask instead of just turning away from the server. I can honestly say after a year here I've had very few bad experiences in game. Those that I've had have been small ones like the occasional loot whore. Most players are helpful, friendly, and drama free.
I can't really say the same for the raid scene though. I don't know if you played pre-velious but it wasn't much better on live and overall the drama that comes from raiding here is due to the way it's designed. That's not to say the guilds couldn't be a bit more civil. So if you are a player who wants to be a hardcore raider doing the content first expect to deal with raid drama.
Overall the server is great and it will survive the recent drama. Don't let the idiocy that goes on on the forums turn you away from what is the best classic EQ experience available.
