Serious question here...

[EQLZ]

Most of the responses to this thread are exactly what I am talking about and looking for in terms of community. I might give red a try if I can get my buddies to try red as well. I did make my way back to EQ on p99 specifically to do some reminiscent gaming with them, so if they are up for it, I'm up for it. Thanks for the advice!

But before I go...

To be so emotionally invested in the ethical and moral compass of this community as an individual requires some obsessive and compulsive underlying issues which is preventing you from appreciating and valueing the unique individual virtues of each player.

Wait, so you're saying I (and every other player, by extension) should appreciate someone acting like an elitist, jaded, dbag...like you have been in this thread? Are you mental?

Red really is an antisocial environment.

With this thread being absolute evidence to the contrary, fantasyland living much?...or do you just vacation there 11 months and 29 days of each year?

However only expect to have like 1-2 friends/people to talk to rather then the multitudes on blue who can all be utilized...

So people are to be used? That line of thought DEFINES douchebaggery, and I'm the mental patient? Let me guess, those aren't people though, right? Just pixels to be manipulated? And you say I have issues?

Dearest Maerilith,

To be honest, I kinda feel bad for you. You seem like the type of player who is so bored with the game, but has too much time invested in EQ on p99, to just up and quit. That boredom has emotionally and mentally "evolved" (but a much more appropriate term is warped) your thought process to the state that you can only derive fun and enjoyment in the game, and probably life in general, by trolling, mistreating, and making enjoying the game harder for others. Your sad state of affairs makes my feelz radar ping. I has sads for you. Me hugs you. No crys, okay?

With all my love and respect,

Me

Lol just ignore m...between his other forum handles I think he occupies the most ignore lists on this forum.

So you are mad because people won't buff you? First off, majority of people are AFK in EC (You can tell because you see the same 6 people auctioning the same garbage over and over again). Secondly, Nobody is obligated to buff you. How about you play the game like it was meant to be played, like most of us did when we first started here. I leveled my first character here in basically rags until I was 45. I never bugged for buffs. I never obtained free shit. I paid for every port and rez. Just play the game. Make friends, join a group, slowly solo blues, enjoy the leveling process.
Then, once you are higher level and can farm, twink your own characters. Stop being such a liberal. Just because you have nothing doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to spend 30k on their alt.

Op accuses me of using this thread as if it is some kind of measurin stick (other than OP, which and his replies, which is all I got of him/her/it so far)

Yet OP uses this thread + only a few interactions with people on the server, biased by his own stupidity (yep we'll go with him for now) to judge the community, comes on here posts about it, gets some creative and trolly alternative opinions and completely disregards peoples history in this community (right bro if ur smart now u'll mash that ignore button cause i'm such a toxic person)

lulz

*hugs* itap

fuk the lberal bitch

P.S. again, OP, GO to red, ROLLL a char and level that fucker with fine steel and instill doubt liek a real man. Also bitch about not being part of the community there.

My sage advice, which you will obviously continue to ignore. Is to just be a part of the community and stop worrying about HOW OTHERS ARE OR ARE NOT. You will magically (YES MAGICALLY) make friends and shit.

[maerilith]

cuz obvs i do actually haz friends here, SURPPPRIIIZE



so if leik i can do it, U CAN too OP, you cann haz classic EQ loving rainbow kitten experience 2

JUST TRY rather than posting about how pitiful ur lack of experience is.

Ok. So I've identified another potential problem with me attempting red again. I'll put it to you as a question:

Is it weird that I get embarrassed when someone kills me, even as a naked cloth-tunic-and-rusty-weapon-havin' noob that had a snowball's chance in hell of even being able to run away fast enough? ROFL. I know, it's weird. You can say it.

In general, I just hate being (1) bad at stuff, and (2) having other people (even in a game) witness my humiliation and subsequent walk of shame when I'm bad at stuff. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All kidding aside, though... Thanks for your kind encouragement. You too, Gyno. I might be coming to give it another try fairly soon, so maybe I'll see y'all around.

Itap, Maerilith...I'm really not sure how either of you took what I said to imply some sense of entitlement on my part, when I was fairly clear...and yes, eloquent, in asking about the environment of the community as a whole. Both of you seem to enjoy thinking that I am mad, even trying to make me more angry with your comments. If that is your aim, let me point out that you are failing in that endeavor and doing nothing more than making yourselves look bad in the process. I'm fairly positive that neither of you actually read my original post fully...either that or you didn't understand it. Both of you take me asking about the community as a personal attack on you somehow, and flame me as if I was attacking you directly. I think the question you should ask yourselves is why are you two specifically taking my inquiry as a personal attack? Perhaps you should reread my original post. There isn't much at all to read between the lines. I'm fairly straight forward, so the fact that you take personal offense to what I said gives me (and probably most of the rest in this thread...) the notion that you've both done things that make you feel guilty, so you are lashing out at me for pointing out what I have experienced. Debate 101...the ad hominem attack is the last resort in a failed argument. Psst, the 101 is facetious, implying it's a college level course.

Holy fuck, format your text. No one wants to read a wall of boo hoo with improper ellipses every 10 words. Furthermore no one cares about community college debate ideals here, this is RnF fgt, being right or wrong doesn't apply.

[Cecily]

Yeah I feel like people have been entirely too nice to this person. You don't like this community? Go away. We have enough unentertaining walls of tl;dr text from our established player base.
