Not really completely accurate. Given Heartbrand had a pretty bad experience - but a handful of douchebags in one guild, who don't represent the server in any fashion

It only takes a small percentage of the total players being mouth breathers to make this experience common place. and you are wrong about them being from only one guild. I've experienced extreme retardation and hostility every step of the way. Without a clique to be a part of you will have this experience as well.

This community is eating itself away. The anonymity of the internet has had a poor effect around here.

There is some small amount of truth to what heartbrand is saying - there are some people (usually forum warriors) whose goal is to make people quit the game.

but i think most people have a lot of fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I really want to start a character but i can't play. I gave up playing to be a senior guide. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Others like tombom talk a big game on the forums but are actually really cool people in game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] people on this server just need to chillax a bit and stop acting like every pvp battle is part of world war 2 and the free world depends on victory. It's a twelve year old game lets have fun and treat each other with some minimal level of respect.

FRESH BLOOD. I've read the forum for 3 god awful hours. After reading the shit show you guys all put on display here, I've sifted through the mostly mindless bullshit of non-pertinent information that probably discourages other people from joining in an attempt to try get a real feel for the current state of the game. Alas, I'm like any prior nostalgic EQ player longing to tear people limb from limb once again, and I'm hardly able to keep the overwhelming interest at bay, but I have to ask...does this shit show carry over into the game?

Most of my gamer friends are either currently poopsocking the latest games (SWTOR) or not poopsocking altogether (me), but I know for a fact none of them are willing to travel back in time to poopsock this grind. Are newcomers generally accepted among the community here or is it just cliques? Is it a general consensus that a solo dude like myself will level to 20 without so much as an invitation or welcoming to a community or guild? And before any hardcore basement dwelling manchild decides to rain down on my pussiness as an inferior being not worthy of true EQ pvp, let me just state that I can play another non-communicative, competitive game for self-assurance in my masculinity. I'm looking for a bit of community here with some fun PvP. Is this what I can expect here?

expect to make a mage druid or necro cause youll be solo

expect to grind endlessly for small exp

expect to level naked

expect to quit

[nalkin]

Also, fair pvp is not something that ever happens on this server. Don't expect anyone to ever engage you if they are equal to your level or by themselves. My experience would be something like, see 2 red con PCs around me, they don't attack me. I engage 2 DB gnolls, once im at 40% hp then the 2 red cons decide to engage me. These people will poopsock like crazy (see cast, 12 hours a day for a month), just to get whatever level advantage they can, then go to a lowbie zone and gank people engaged in combat.

To the OP:

The server is essentially good. There are griefers on the server, but it's not to the point where you're just being griefed 24/7. The biggest thing about coming back to EverQuest (and especially EQ PVP) is to realize you're going to die, most of those pvp deaths are going to actually be PVE deaths due to ganking, zero fights are going to be "fair" by today's standard, and it's just part of the game.

But if you find some cool people to group/guild with (absolutely essential, without this the play experience is awful and frustrating), the server experience skyrockets. I have a lot of fun playing.
