Why are there so many asshats on the server?

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.

It's heartening to hear some scorn for this type of behaviour from a dev, Aeolwind. The question then becomes: if the devs don't like seeing it, why does it seem to be permitted?

Lack of manpower to police the forums more? Lack of will to silence the more outspoken community members? Or just not seen as that much of a problem by the other devs (and perhaps yourself)?

Again, I'm sure most people would be happier if the 'trolling tools' were confined to their own little playground so the rest of us could converse in a mature and adult fashion.

You don't need to "police" forums as long as the users have thick enough skin to not cry irl over someone calling them a jerk on an internet forum. If you say something retarded and I call you a retard, what's the big deal? Suck it up. Same as in-game. Some people are more outspoken than others. Same went for original EQ as well as Real Life, although I don't think many people here experience that game often.

I think you people are whining for nothing, im not denying theres some mild trolling here and there, but go check the server chat right now, its full of people giving tips for quests, class tips, talking about a ghost boat in a GM event. Go check it and come back, i mean... come on.

This.^

Even just check the main server chat forum. Longest thread on the front page right now is people thanking others for things... I mean come on! Maybe it gets worse at 50 or something, but leveling up has been 1000x more positive here than it ever was back in '99-'01.

On a personal level, I'm rather desensitised to internet trolling, or I wouldn't be reading here in the first place, but it doesn't stop me shaking my head in exasperation fairly often. The same isn't true for everyone however, and perhaps this is telling from the low number of active posters we have compared the server population.

I've acknowledged that I have exagerated my point a little, and I feel you are downplaying the matter a little in a similar manner. Yes, there is a lot of good information and advice to be found here, but there are also a lot of threads (without going through them, I could point to at least one on the front page) and posters that go far beyond 'mild trolling'. I also wouldn't buy into an argument that because the majority of topics at the minute are troll-free, the expections become acceptable.

I've said all I can on this topic without simply reiterating, so I'll leave it at that. But as an aside, I did call it in my first post that I would be told me not to read here and called a whiner for my objective thoughts on the matter!

By mild trolling i mean it happens here and there, i didnt mean the severity of the trolling. The main problem ive seen is the disgruntled type people that tries to be disruptive in a bunch of posts in rapid succession, and ive seen these people get banned swiftly.

I dont mean to be too rude, but come on, lets call a spade a spade. If youre going to start an hyperbolic thread called "So many asshats on the server" and basically anyone who asks for a sow and clarity in EC tunnel gets it in under 2mins, youre gonna get called on it.

Well we are pretty much in agreement here; my comments relate purely to the forums. In game I think the community is pretty good.

A server where someone calling someone else a fag gets called out and told thats immature and not ok, thats a good server. If I just didn't care about community at all, I would go play more wow. I still have an active account, and it's nice for when I want to play a game where at any given moment someone is typing out the entire song "Journey" in the trade channel... It's a nice song, granted...

I honestly feel safe and secure on this server knowing that most of the community are helpful nice people, and that the few that AREN'T are the minority and that they ARE kept in line.

Just FYI... I was talking about in game more so then on the forums.

Ive leveled a druid to 46 and i can count the bad groups ive had with both my hands... and half of that is trivial stuff like some guy who doesnt want to roll NBG and i find it mildly annoying.

Can you be more specific? What made you come to the conclusion that there were "So many asshats on the server" ?
