Why are there so many asshats on the server?

The hyperbole is strong in this one. There are plenty of nice players on the server, just quit already, its bad for your health to be bitter like that.

You got a guy sticking up for you in this thread saying your a chill guy. From what I have noticed of you in game and your two posts here contradicts that. Just saying. FYI.

Oh really? And what would i have done in-game that would qualify me as an asshat?

I hate people using the word fag, its a pet peeve of mine, its like racist people, i cant stand it, like fingernails on a chalkboard. So i gave you a little nudge, in the rant and flame forum. If im an "asshat" for that, so be it.

The players on swgemu.com are far worse than the ones here. It's quite refreshing to be away there.

One who has their head up their ass. Thus wearing their ass as a hat.

I am a bit worried about the end game. I see so much guild drama and asshats.

I do see some cool people tho. There is hope.

GM's need to start doing some perma's on accounts not IP's imo

Vyal that isn’t a very good example and if anything speaks volumes for Rogeans integrity. Him accepting detonations for in-game items would ruin the creditability this server has, he would be like the douche that runs the EZ server, hey for 200 bucks I’ll give you a ring of 100. Yeah how cool is that, to spend real life money to be the most elite guy on a game?

PS. GM’s are doing an awesome job still to this date IMO, As everyone has already said they are doing this for FREE get off their sacks!!!

Except I have to disagree with Nilbog about the Lost finale still, I’ve watched it 3 times, understand it much better now, but still don’t care for it, even though the show was awesome. IDK what I wanted to happen, but I expected something else! <3 Nilbog if you have any other shows you want to discuss hit me up, I’m always down to have a good back and forth.

Been a huge Lost fan for years, but the Lost finale was a fucking abortion. Absolute garbage, even BSG had a better finale. Actually the last 2 seasons of Lost was a shit-train.

You people dont have much experience in MMOs if you call this community bad... my WoW server had jew shower jokes, constant bullying, ive played Darkfall where the community was 100 times worse than here... perma-flaming in the forums, oh-im-so-hardcore-go-back-to-wow argument used in every sauce, you name it.

Just a couple of examples off the top of my head, ninik the cleric who rezzed people for free, clerics that move around to rez for no fixed prices, people getting buffed in EC on a regular basis, me rescuing some random noob in the Najena jail cells, porting for CRs all the time. If youre gonna criticize, do it for something real, if youre making phony claims people are gonna point and laugh, thats not being an asshat.

PvP games/servers and unofficial servers tend to attract the scum of the gaming world. Ragers, griefers, "bullies", hackers, exploiters, those banned on Live servers, immature kids too young to pay for the real deal, you name it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the trend.

Darkfall = PvP Game = TERRIBLE community
WoW = PvP servers are 500x worse than PvE/RP realms in terms of community.

LoTRO = PvE/P2P game, one of the best communities out there.
EQLive = PvE/P2P game, used to have a great community before MQ became widespread. Still does to some extent.
EQ2 = PvE/RP servers, amazing community.

Thats unfortunatly the case most of the times i think, i play the game Heroes of Newerth and the community is just dumb as fuck, its all about e-peenery.

But take eve online though, thats the only MMO ive seen, and ive played dozens of AAA titles, where there are guilds stricly dedicated to making noobs learn the game. Granted the complexity of eve naturally helps spawn these kind of guilds, but still, its a hardcore PVP game, and there are tons of players dedicated to helping others. For example in my 00 space corporations, there was weekly courses on how to be a fleet commander, thats one of the funnest experiences ive had in a MMO, to watch 40 people getting schooled like that. You have players that just camp the help channel to answer questions noobs might have.

So i think in general youre right, but not always the case. Its certainly not the case on this server, in my opinion. Ive seen more friendly/laid back people than the other way around.

If you are judging by the posts in rants and flames, any community is going ot be full of asshats. I personally consider rants and flames a game in and off itself.

I just started playing a few weeks back, but I have found nothing but extremely helpful people here in game. I met one jerk who started KSing my low level group in EC because someone thought he needed help and killed a lioness 30 minutes earlier (true story -- he must of logged out and ran his main over). He then apologized right after and explained he was mad at some other high level then buffed us to make up for killing three mobs. Of course, I haven't made it to high levels where the most contention comes from, but I judge by how helpful people are to low levels.

Darkfall, had a great community if you weren't a carebear. It was a full loot sandbox pvp game. If you expected everyone to be nice and kind, you are a fool. If you expected enemies around every corner and didn't cry after getting ganked, you could meet a lot of cool people.

People treated enemies like enemies and friends like friends. I dunno, the community was pretty good when you got into it. PvP is going to cause strife among enemies, but thats how it goes. I never saw drama in it I didn't see in EQLive.

WoW is the garbage dump of MMOs. Its mostly little bratty kids who want instant gratification. The playerbase is what killed that game for me. Otherwise it could have been kind of fun.
