This community has some serious issues, call it toxic, call it cyber bullying, or just people being plain rude. A lot of stuff that we take for granted from a vocal minority of players would be completely unacceptable in real life, or any game run for profit, "hardcore" or otherwise. Even verant didn't allow the kind of abusive language and cyber bullying I see here regularly, in game and in forums, and that was 15 years ago.

Call me a care bear (which isn't true, I've played much more hardcore games than red99.. games in which you lose everything you've done in 100+ hours of gameplay if you die, and people are trying to kill you all the time), call me an outsider (which isn't true, I play on red99 for 6+ hours, 5 days a week), call me whatever. But can you really say you want to be part of a community that accepts, and even encourages, the kind of stuff we see here everyday?

I know I don't, and I know a lot of people in game, who don't post on these forums, who think the same. It's just a shame that the vocal minority feel the need to impose their toxic attitude on everyone else, and that people looking from the outside at this community think we are all like that, or even, god forbid, that we like and encourage it.

I'm ready for the backlash in this thread, the kind that emoteen got earlier. Tell me to GTFO, call me every derogatory term you can use without getting banned, tell me I don't belong here.. but the fact is I do. I play here everyday. If you can't engage with what I'm saying like an adult then I'm pretty sure YOU don't belong here, because the vast majority of people who play here ARE adults, and that majority probably don't want to play with YOU, but just gave up saying that a long time ago.

Incoherent ramblings of a mental patient arguing with himself, disregard.

Also TLDR.

I'm pretty sure the issues related to his individual had to do with a mental illness and not the fact someone called him a faggot and/or weirdo on an everquest emulation server at some point over a year ago.

[Kergan]

This place didn't make him mentally ill. His mental illness is what lead him here.

[Agatha]

my point is, the shit that is going on here sure as fuck didn't help. i infact think it had a direct bearing on the end result.

[Nirgon]

Later today I'm going to jeer at a bear in the woods until it attacks

I will promptly inform it to stop being such a woman and so unstable

This guy nailed it. The most vocal of the people on this forum/ingame seem to very much fit the bill this guy describes and I can very much say for sure that his statement about others looking in before joining most certainly do see what is here and how things go and get turned away. Between the absurd amount of BiS twinks/Dlvlers out there harassing new players(like myself) to utterly incompetent/ignorant shit that gets written on these forums I'm surprised new players even come here at all.

The only reason I'm here is cause my Brother and a friend play here, so it was either play alone on blue or here with them. I'm from way back in the day on TZ, I loved EQPvP. I loved the ACTUAL community that was alive and well on Tallon Zek. This server? It's a joke in comparison.

TLDR, yet you feel you can label the post? Dismissive and nonconstructive comment adding nothing to the conversation, Kergan. If you want to troll stick to rants and flames. Otherwise, feel free to contribute.

[Kergan]

Just trying to help by providing a quick summary of that wall of text, sheesh.
