So your other algorithm is:

1. This server is full of assholes
2. You disagree with me eh?
3. YOU ASSHOLE

I mean come on man, sure I'm tweaking you a little bit but you are coming off as super sensitive here

This is just you putting your emotions into my text. I gave up caring that much about this server about 2 years ago. The idea brings me back but reality always drives me away.

If you're consistently having negative experiences on this server, you need to recognize the fact that YOU are the common link involved in all of them. More likely than not you are simply coming across as unpleasant in your interactions with other players, which causes them to be unpleasant in return.

Honestly, if you can't get along with the vast majority of people you encounter in this game, you have abysmal social skills. Be friendly and helpful, and most people will be so in return. Some won't, but that's life.

The server is fine. No more assholes than I remember from live. Lots of nice people. If you are an oversensitive whiny sort that magnifies all difficulties into some kind of rage-quit scenario, you are probably not going to like it.

I played a ranger to 52 and parked him til Velious. Grouping was ok, better than I expected actually. I'd played a ranger from jun 99 until late GoD on live, though, so I knew what to expect. But yeah, if you like grouping you'll be better off with a more group friendly class.

I am friendly and helpful, ForumQuesters just seem to think everyone has rainbows coming out of their asses and are always on the lookout to help others. Far from the truth.

EDIT: Blue and Red are exact opposites. Everyone spouts Blue as friendly when they are cocksuckers. Red is spouted as basement dwelling trolls when they are actually pretty nice.

And I like that everyone keeps saying how I am stuck in my 20s, not so, I just can't stand the ignorance here long enough to get past the 20s.

Apparently, you are not a part of the community until you are mid 30s. If anything turns you away from this server before you hit level cap, its because you couldn't handle it. You are weak, and don't deserve to play here.

Does that sound like a good community to you? That is what I am hearing from the "Good Community" in this thread alone.

If you don't just bandwagon with the ForumQuesters and just keep repeating the same opinion, you apparently aren't welcome here either.

You both strike me as having some kind of persecution complex. That's not the server's problem: it's yours.

Honestly, ask yourself, which is more likely: the entire rest of the server is composed of assholes (over a thousand of them), or there is something wrong with my perspective/attitude?

I have only been on the server for about 3 weeks now, I don't play often as I have family obligations, work, and school. That being said however, I only have a level 6 mage and I have already been helped out multiple times.

Example 1: I was given a port for free by a druid (Hobiewan) so I could get to Freeport from Qeynos, he then followed me to get my corpse and bind me in Freeport for free, also gave me a werewolf pelt to sell to help with cash for spells and gear. Thanks again!

Example 2: I was soloing in EC and a random cleric (Halmir I think) gave me and my pet some uber buffs and I blazed through level 5 killing yellow/red mobs. Thanks!

Example 3: I got enough money to buy my first stat items (a couple +2 int rings) and was given a bonus +10 hp +10 mana bracelet for being a new player. Can't remember the traders name off the top of my head but Thank you!

Everyone generally seems to be nice if you don't harass people and are kind in return. Granted I have a long way to go before the raid scene as I don't play much but I'm sure it will be competitive. No different than EQ when I first played so it doesn't bother me, there is always competition even for group spots, thats why EQ is great, doesn't make it bad game. And FYI there are always douchebags in any game and in RL so just deal with it.

I'm not saying there are only negative people on this server, I'm saying there aren't as many positive people as ForumQuest thinks there are.

People generally voice a kindness as bigger than it was.

I have been browsing the forums and looking at the charts of population and have narrowed my choices down to either a human ranger or a half elf druid. My play time is pretty erratic, mostly EST, 9pm-11pm throughout the week and then Saturday 9am-5pm, then 10pm-2am. Basically once the fiance falls asleep. Based upon those factors, I wanted a class that could solo well, but be welcome in a group, and maybe a PUG raid on occasion. I will install the game tonight hopefully, and get set up to start playing.

Thoughts on the + and - on either class would be much obliged.

I have been playing for about a month on my cleric and have found people to be mostly helpful and friendly. This is a contrast with other games with queing systems where nobody ever talks and it feels like your are really just soloing even while grouped. Also, remember to be friendly back, as you are likely to see the same people again!
